• Although troubleshooting may, on occasion, need to be carried out while the
power supply is turned on, the robot must be turned off (by setting the main
switch to OFF) when repairing faults, disconnecting electric leads and
disconnecting or connecting units.
• The main supply to the robot must be connected in such a way that it can
be turned off from outside the working space of the robot.
• Make sure that no one else can turn on the power to the controller and robot
while you are working with the system. A good method is to always lock the
main switch on the controller cabinet with a safety lock.
• by qualified personnel
• on machine/robot system in deadlock
• in an isolated state, disconnected from power supply, and protected against
reconnection.
• Be aware of stored electrical energy (DC link, Ultracapacitor bank unit) in
the controller.
• Units such as I/O modules, can be supplied with power from an external
source.
• The main supply/main switch
• The transformers
• The power unit
• The control power supply (230 VAC)
• The rectifier unit (262/400-480 VAC and 400/700 VDC. Note: capacitors!)
• The drive unit (400/700 VDC)
• The drive system power supply (230 VAC)
• The service outlets (115/230 VAC)
• The customer power supply (230 VAC)
• The power supply unit for additional tools, or special power supply units for
the machining process.
