2.1TURNING ON MAIN POWER
After checking that there are no problems with the controller and robot cable connections, turn on the main power to start up the robot. There are two methods to turn on the main power; cold starting and hot starting. Normally, only the hot starting is required. For details, see Para. 2.1.2.
2.1.1Cold Starting
After cold starting has been conducted, programs and data necessary for operating the robot are loaded from the floppy disk to the controller. Once the cold starting has been effected, it need not be repeated unless the robot went wrong. If there is some problem with the robot, perform hot starting.
Caution
If an abnormality has generated or the POWER LED lamp on the control panel remains off after the main power switch of the controller was turned on, turn off the main power immediately and confirm the wiring. Otherwise, you will be struck by an electric shock or a fire will break out.
Caution
When the cold start operation is conducted, the contents of the controller memory (including a robot language program, position data, and user parameters) are initialized. To prevent user data from being erased, be careful not to unintentionally conduct the cold start operation.
Be sure to back up the user programs. It is also recommended to always back up all user programs.
Conduct the cold start operation in the following manner.
(1)Insert the system disk into the FDD unit (option). (For the connections, see the Interface Manual.)
(2)Hold the floppy disk in the manner that the label side is up and the disk shutter (metal cover) enters the FDD first. Lightly insert the attached floppy disk (system disk) into the FDD unit until a click is heard.
