CHAPTER 3
SETTING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
FOR THE SR7000 CONTROLLER
The operator should set items such as the robot configuration and the communication channel modes before he or she operates the robot system. The operator should set the date and time for the controller for file management and fault display information. The operation for setting such data is called controller environmental condition setting. Except for the date and time, such data is stored in a system configuration file (CONSTRUC. SYS).
In addition, to use external signals to select a file to be executed, it is necessary to first create an external selection file (EXTRNSEL. SYS).
This chapter describes how to set individual data which defines the environmental conditions of the controller.
3.1SETTING DATE AND TIME
The controller provides a clock function which indicates the current date and time. When the robot system detects an error, the function indicates the date and time when the error occurred along with a related error message.
Date and time have been set at factory. However, when the controller power has been turned off for a long time, the controller clock may become off. In this case, it is necessary to reset the correct date and time.
Note)
The accuracy of the controller clock is within 15 sec per month. Thus, it is necessary to periodically check and adjust the clock.
3.1.1Setting Date
Set the current date in the following manner.
(1)Turn on the controller main power and place the MASTER MODE KEY switch on the control panel in the "MANU" position. The following monitor command menu will appear at the bottom on the teach pendant LCD display.
