Installation Check List
AdeptSix 300CR Robot Instruction Handbook, Rev. A 71
4. Secure the optional manual brake release box cable into the MAI-2 connector
marked Manual Brake Release. (if used)
5. If you are using the AdeptWindows PC user interface, connect a shielded
Ethernet cable from the hub (or server) to the shielded RJ-45 connector on the
AWC-II board. Unshielded cables will degrade the integrity of the
AdeptWindows PC link, particularly when power is applied to the robot or
mechanism. Use “straight” cables to a hub or a “crossover” cable to a stand-alone
PC.
User-Supplied Safety Equipment on XUSR Connector Checks
Check the following safety equipment connected to the XUSR connector on the
SmartController.
1. There are eight pairs of contacts that must be connected on the XUSR connector
(see Adept SmartController User’s Guide) to ensure proper continuity of the
emergency stop circuitry. Verify that these connections are secure and reliable and
that a redundant pair of contacts is installed, one for each E-Stop channel. Double
check that the state of the contacts on each pair matches and the contacts are
closed. Each contact is separately connected to its respective E-Stop channel.
Inadvertent connection between the E-Stop channels will short the E-Stop power
supply, making it impossible to apply High Power.
2. Make sure that guarding around the workcell is properly connected to either the
Muted Safety gate inputs on the XUSR connector or, if appropriate, to the User
E-Stop connections on the XUSR connector. Make sure that all gate, E-Stop push
button switches, and other interlocks have two independent electrical poles.
Make sure that a pair of redundant contacts is installed and that these contacts are
separately connected to their respective E-Stop channels. Make sure that all
interlock or emergency stop devices are wired in series (not in parallel) before
connecting to the User E-Stop connections. Identify all wiring with Channel 1 or
Channel 2. Inadvertent connection between the channels will short the E-Stop
power supply, making it impossible to apply High Power.
3. Make sure that workcell components have been properly interlocked to avoid
hazards when the robot/motion system is operated in Manual Mode. (Per “ISO
10218 Manipulating Robots Safety”, the robot control system must employ a
“single point of control” when operated in Manual Mode.)
