The teach pendant is used to guide the robot, teach the robot, and check error messages.
This paragraph outlines names and functions of the controls. The numbers referenced accord
with those in Figure 1.6.
1. Emergency switch:
A switch which unconditionally stops robot operation. When this switch is pressed, the
power to the servo motors is turned off and an emergency stop state signal is output.
When this switch is pressed, it is locked in the pressed state. To unlock this switch, turn
the switch again.
2. Function keys:
Keys which select one of functions displayed at the bottom of the LCD screen. The
function to be selected depends on the mode being executed in the controller.
3. Alphanumeric keys:
Keys which enter alphabet characters, numeric characters, and symbols. To enter
characters marked on the upper key positions, press the keys while holding down the
"Shift" key. To enter characters marked on the lower key positions, simply press the keys.
4. Esc key:
A key which cancels characters and instruction being entered.
5. Ins key:
A key which inserts new characters between those which have been entered. After this
key is pressed, characters being entered are inserted at the position just preceding the
cursor. This mode is called the insert mode. When the insert key is pressed again while
the insert mode is in effect, the insert mode is canceled. After the insert mode is canceled,
characters newly entered will replace existing characters. This mode is called the replace
mode.
