3HAC021313-001 Revision: P
The manipulator documentation is divided into a number of categories. This listing is based
on the type of information in the documents, regardless of whether the products are standard
or optional.
All documents listed can be ordered from ABB on a DVD. The documents listed are valid for
M2004 manipulator systems.
All hardware, manipulators and controllers will be delivered with a Product manual that
contains:
•
Safety information.
•
Installation and commissioning (descriptions of mechanical installation, electrical
connections).
• Maintenance (descriptions of all required preventive maintenance procedures
including intervals).
• Repair (descriptions of all recommended repair procedures including spare parts).
• Additional procedures, if any (calibration, decommissioning).
• Reference information (article numbers for documentation referred to in Product
manual, procedures, lists of tools, safety standards).
• Parts list.
• Foldouts or exploded views.
•
Circuit diagrams (or references to circuit diagrams).
The technical reference manuals describe the manipulator software in general and contain
relevant reference information.
•
RAPID Overview: An overview of the RAPID programming language.
•
RAPID Instructions, Functions and Data types: Description and syntax for all
RAPID instructions, functions, and data types.
•
RAPID Kernel: A formal description of the RAPID programming language.
•
System parameters: Description of system parameters and configuration workflows.
Specific applications (for example software or hardware options) are described in
Application manuals. An application manual can describe one or several applications.
An application manual generally contains information about:
• The purpose of the application (what it does and when it is useful).
•
What is included (for example cables, I/O boards, RAPID instructions, system
parameters, CD with PC software).
• How to use the application.
• Examples of how to use the application.
