2.3.1. Power Input

 

To operate a Robot, power must be firstly supplied to the Robot controller.

 

To supply main power of the controller, convert power switch on the left top of the controller to [ON] direction as shown in left figure.

 

 

Whether the supply power to the motor and the possible operating condition are decided by the [REMOTE/AUTO/MANUAL] switch on the teach pendant and the condition of the safety plug as shown in the following table.

The safety plug is used for general industrial robots. But for the LCD robot, the light curtain will replace the role of the safety plug.
