The points of the precautions in the separate volume "Safety Manual" are given below. Refer to "Safety Manual" for details.

When automatic operation of the robot is performed using multiple control devices (GOT, programmable controller, push-button switch), the interlocking of operation rights of the devices, etc. must be designed by the customer.

Use the robot within the environment given in the specifications. Failure to do so could lead to a drop or reliability or faults. (Temperature, humidity, atmosphere, noise environment, etc.)

Transport the robot with the designated transportation posture. Transporting the robot in a non-designated posture could lead to personal injuries or faults from dropping.

Always use the robot installed on a secure table. Use in an instable posture could lead to positional deviation and vibration.

Wire the cable as far away from noise sources as possible. If placed near a noise source, positional deviation or malfunction could occur.

Do not apply excessive force on the connector or excessively bend the cable. Failure to observe this could lead to contact defects or wire breakage.

Make sure that the workpiece weight, including the hand, does not exceed the rated load or tolerable torque. Exceeding these values could lead to alarms or faults.

Securely install the hand and tool, and securely grasp the workpiece. Failure to observe this could lead to personal injuries or damage if the object comes off or flies off during operation.

Securely ground the robot and controller. Failure to observe this could lead to malfunctioning by noise or to electric shock accidents.

Indicate the operation state during robot operation. Failure to indicate the state could lead to operators approaching the robot or to incorrect operation.

When carrying out teaching work in the robot's movement range, always secure the priority right for the robot control. Failure to observe this could lead to personal injuries or damage if the robot is started with external commands.

Keep the jog speed as low as possible, and always watch the robot. Failure to do so could lead to interference with the workpiece or peripheral devices.

After editing the program, always confirm the operation with step operation before starting automatic operation. Failure to do so could lead to interference with peripheral devices because of programming mistakes, etc.

Make sure that if the safety fence entrance door is opened during automatic operation, the door is locked or that the robot will automatically stop. Failure to do so could lead to personal injuries.

Never carry out modifications based on personal judgments, or use non- designated maintenance parts. Failure to observe this could lead to faults or failures.

When the robot arm has to be moved by hand from an external area, do not place hands or fingers in the openings. Failure to observe this could lead to hands or fingers catching depending on the posture.

Do not stop the robot or apply emergency stop by turning the robot controller's main power OFF. If the robot controller main power is turned OFF during automatic operation, the robot accuracy could be adversely affected. Moreover, it may interfere with the peripheral device by drop or move by inertia of the arm.

Do not turn off the main power to the robot controller while rewriting the internal information of the robot controller such as the program or parameters.

If the main power to the robot controller is turned off while in automatic operation or rewriting the program or parameters, the internal information of the robot controller may be damaged.

Do not connect the Handy GOT when using the GOT direct connection function of this product. Failure to observe this may result in property damage or bodily injury because the Handy GOT can automatically operate the robot regardless of whether the operation rights are enabled or not.

Do not remove the SSCNET III cable while power is supplied to the controller. Do not look directly at light emitted from the tip of SSCNET III connectors or SSCNET III cables. Eye discomfort may be felt if exposed to the light. (Reference: SSCNET III employs a Class 1 or equivalent light source as specified in JIS C 6802 and IEC60825-1 (domestic standards in Japan).)

Attach the cap to the SSCNET III connector after disconnecting the SSCNET III cable. If the cap is not attached, dirt or dust may adhere to the connector pins, resulting in deterioration connector properties, and leading to malfunction.

Make sure there are no mistakes in the wiring. Connecting differently to the way

specified in the manual can result in errors, such as the emergency stop not being released.

In order to prevent errors occurring, please be sure to check that all functions (such as the controller operation panel emergency stop, teaching pendant emergency stop, customer emergency stop, and door switch) are working prop- erly after the wiring setup is completed.

Use the network equipments (personal computer, USB hub, LAN hub, etc) confirmed by manufacturer. The thing unsuitable for the FA environment (related with conformity, temperature or noise) exists in the equipments connected to USB. When using network equipment, measures against the noise, such as measures against EMI and the addition of the ferrite core, may be necessary. Please fully confirm the operation by customer. Guarantee and maintenance of the equipment on the market (usual office automation equipment) cannot be performed.

Definition of specifications 2-12

2.2 Definition of specifications

The accuracy of pose repeatability mentioned in catalogs and in the specification manual is defined as follows.

2.2.1 Pose repeatability For this robot, the pose repeatability is given in accordance with JIS B 8432 (Pose repeatability). Note that the value is based on 100 measurements (although 30 measurements are required according to JIS).

Caution The specified "pose repeatability" is not guaranteed to be satisfied under the following conditions.

[1] Operation pattern factors 1) When an operation that approaches from different directions and orientations are included in rela-

tion to the teaching position during repeated operations

2) When the speed at teaching and the speed at execution are different

[2] Load fluctuation factor 1) When work is present/absent in repeated operations

[3] Disturbance factor during operation 1) Even if approaching from the same direction and orientation to the teaching position, when the

power is turned OFF or a stop operation is performed halfway

[4] Temperature factors 1) When the operating environment temperature changes

2) When accuracy is required before and after a warm-up operation

[5] Factors due to differences in accuracy definition 1) When accuracy is required between a position set by a numeric value in the robot's internal coor-

dinate system and a position within the actual space

2) When accuracy is required between a position generated by the pallet function and a position within the actual space

Robot arm

2.2.2 Mass capacity The robot's mass capacity is expressed solely in terms of mass, but even for tools and works of similar mass, eccentric loads will have some restrictions When designing the tooling or when selecting a robot, consider the fol- lowing issues.

(1) The tooling should have the value less or equal than the smaller of the allowable moment of inertia found in Page 8, "2.1.1 Basic specifications".

(2) Fig. 2-1 and Fig. 2-3 shows the distribution dimensions for the center of gravity in the case where the vol- ume of the load is relatively small. Use this figure as a reference when designing the tooling. Please use the robot in the allowable moment of inertia of maximum moment of inertia shown in Fig. 2-1 and Fig. 2-3.

[Caution] Depending on the operating speed and operating posture of the robot, vibration, overload, and overcur- rent alarms may occur even if the mass and inertia of the hand, workpiece, etc. are within the permissible range above. In such cases, please reduce acceleration and deceleration (Accel command) speeds and movement speed (Ovrd command). Although the standard value to reduce is 50% for each command, please adjust corresponding to the movement posture. Refer to separate "Instruction Manual/Detailed Explanation of Functions and Operations" for details of each command. Furthermore, these sorts of events will occur more readily if, for example, the hand/workpiece parameters are not set correctly, or the optimum acceleration/deceleration setting is disabled.

[Caution] Refer to Page 15, "2.2.3 Relationships Among Mass Capacity, Speed, and Acceleration/Deceleration Speed", and set the values of the mass, magnitude, and distance to the centroid of a tool and a workpiece to parameters. If parameters are not set exactly, the lifetime of reduction gears, a belt, etc. is affected.

[Caution] The overhang amount of the load, such as the mass capacity and the allowable moment of inertia defined in this section, are dynamic limit values determined by the capacity of the motor that drives axes or the capacity of the speed reducer. Therefore, it does not guarantee the accuracy on all areas of tooling. Guaranteed accuracy is measured from the center point of the mechanical interface surface. Please note that if the point of operation is kept away from the mechanical interface surface by long and low-rigid tooling, the positioning accuracy may deteriorate or may cause vibration. Note that the allowable offset value (Z direction) from the lower edge of the shaft to the position of center of gravity is 100 mm.

[Caution] Even within the allowable range previously mentioned, an overload alarm may be generated if an ascend- ing operation continues at a micro-low speed. In such a case, it is necessary to increase the ascending speed.

[Caution] This robot will restrict speed automatically by internal controls when the load center-of-gravity position separates from the shaft center. Refer to Page 15, "2.2.3 Relationships Among Mass Capacity, Speed, and Acceleration/Deceleration Speed" in detail. The allowance distance (allowance offset amount) from the center of the shaft to the center of gravity for loads is 150 mm.

[Caution] When the large inertia mode is enabled, it is possible to use large hands (or workpieces) that exceed the allowable inertia for the standard load mode, but if the inertia exceeds the allowable inertia for the stan- dard load mode, the permissible value for the distance from the center of the shaft to the center of gravity of the load (the offset amount) is 10 mm.

2.2.3 Relationships Among Mass Capacity, Speed, and Acceleration/Deceleration Speed This robot automatically sets the optimum acceleration and deceleration speeds and maximum speed, according to the load capacity and size that have been set, and operates using these automatically set speeds. To achieve that, it is necessary to correctly set the actual load data (mass and size of hand and work) to be used. However, vibration, overheating and errors such as excessive margin of error and overload may occur, depending on the robot operation pattern or ambient temperature.

In this case, reduce the speed and the acceleration and deceleration rate before continuing to use. This is done by accessing the robot program and adjusting the speed settings (Ovrd) and the acceleration and deceleration set- tings (Accel).

If a setting is performed in such a way that it falls below the mounted load, the life span of the mechanism ele- ments used in the robot may be shortened. In the case of a work requiring a high degree of accuracy, set up the load correctly and use the robot by lowering the ratios of the acceleration and deceleration speeds.

(1) Setting Load Capacity and Size (Hand Conditions) Set up the capacity and size of the hand with the "HNDDAT*" parameter (optimum acceleration/deceleration setting parameter), and set up the capacity and size of the work with the "WRKDAT*" parameter. Numbers 0 to 8 can be used for the asterisk (*) part. Designate the "HNDDAT*" and "WRKDAT*" parameters to be used using the "LoadSet" command in a program. For more details, refer to the separate "Instruction Manual/Detailed Explanation of Functions and Operations." It is the same meaning as "LoadSet 0.0" if not using the "LoadSet".

Note) The position of the center of gravity is located at the center of the surface at the bottom of the shaft. Set the X, Y and Z center of gravity positions for the tool coordinate directions (the Z center of gravity position will be a plus for downward directions).

2.2.4 Vibrations at the Tip of the Arm during Low-Speed Operation of the Robot Vibrations at the tip of the arm may increase substantially during the low-speed operation of the robot, depending on the combination of robot operation, hand mass and hand inertia. This problem occurs when the vibration count specific to the robot arm and the vibration count of the arm driving force are coming close to each other. These vibrations at the tip of the arm can be reduced by taking the following measures:

1) Change the robot's operating speed by using the Ovrd command. 2) Change and move the teaching points of the robot. 3) Change the hand mass and hand inertia.

2.2.5 Vibration of shaft (J3 axis) position and arm end Vibrations at the tip of the arm may increase substantially during operation under the shaft position near the

low end or the high end of the robot, depending on the combination of hand mass and hand inertia. This problem occurs according to that inertia, because the distance from the shaft support section to the shaft end becomes

long. When this vibration affects the robot's operations, please change operating speed etc. like the above Page 15, "2.2.4 Vibrations at the Tip of the Arm during Low-Speed Operation of the Robot".

(1) Relationship Between Mass Capacity and Speed A function to optimize the maximum speed of each axis according to the setting value of the load capacity will be activated (Refer to Fig. 2-4).

However, this function does not work with the load mass of 2 kg or less.

When the load mass is changed to exceed 2 kg, the maximum speed is compensated according to the load mass.

[CAUTION] Depending on the operation pattern, the speed and/or acceleration/deceleration at the front edge may not be parallel with the speed and the rate of change of acceleration/deceleration specified in a program.

Fig.2-4 Automatic compensation of speed

(2) Relationship Between Height of Shaft (J3 Axis) and Acceleration/Deceleration Speed A function to optimize the acceleration/deceleration speed according to the height of the shaft (Refer to Fig. 2-5, Fig. 2-6) will be activated. This function is invalid if the shaft (axis J3) operates at a position above P3 in Fig. 2-5. Acceleration/deceleration is compensated for at a position below P3 in Fig. 2-5 if the position of the center of gravity of the load is located at the front edge of the shaft.

(3) Relationship Between Offset Amount and Maximum Speed A function to optimize the maximum speed of each axis according to the offset amount will be activated. (Refer to Fig. 2-7.)

Fig.2-7 Relationship Between Offset Amount and Maximum Speed

[Supplementary explanation 1]: The setting which shortens execution time The execution time can be improved by using the following methods. 1) Perform continuous path operation using the Cnt command. 2) Control the optimum acceleration/deceleration using the Oadl command. 3) Control the optimum speed using the Spd command.

[Supplementary explanation 2]: The setting which improves continuous control action performance in a short wait time The continuous control action performance can be improved by setting a smaller value in the optimum acceleration/ deceleration adjustment rate parameter (JADL). In this robot, the acceleration/deceleration speed is initialized for quick moves (setting of A in the Fig. 2-8). If quick moves (short moving time) are required, such as L/UL work on machined parts, the acceleration/deceleration speed can be increased by initial setting (setting of A in the Fig. 2-8). However, please note that some setting values of acceleration/deceleration speed tend to cause overload and overheat errors. In such a case, extend the wait time, reduce the acceleration/deceleration speed, or decrease the moving speed. This setting is suited for continuous operations that have a short tact time, such as palletizing work.

(4) Time to reach the position repeatability When using this robot, the time to reach the position repeatability may be prolonged due to the effect of residual vibration at the time of stopping. If this happens, take the following measures:

1) Change the operation position of the Z axis to the location near the top as much as possible. 2) Increase the operation speed prior to stopping. 3) When positioning the work near the bottom edge of the Z axis, if no effectiveness is achieved in step "2)"

above, perform operation (robot path: O A C). In the case of operation (robot path: O B

C), residual vibration may occur. (Refer to Fig. 2-9.)

Fig.2-9 Recommended path when positioning at the bottom edge of the Z axis

2.2.6 Collision detection This series have the "collision detection function" which detects the abnormalities by the collision of the robot arm, and the initial setting has set this function as the enable to suppress damage to the minimum. Although the enable/disable of this function can be changed by parameter: COL and command: ColChk, you should use in valid condition of this function for protection of the robot and of the peripheral equipment.

The abnormalities are detected by the robot's kinetics model, presuming torque necessary for movement at any time. Therefore, the setting parameter (HNDDAT*, WRKDAT*) of the hand and the work piece conditions should be right. And, it may be detected as the collision in movement as speed and motor torque are changed rapidly. (for example, the movement near the place of the origin by linear interpolation, the reversal movement, the cold con- dition, the operation after long term stoppage)

In such a case, by adjusting the value of the setting parameter (COLLVL, COLLVLJG) of the collision detection level according to actual use environment, the sensitivity of collision detection can be optimized and the damage risk can be reduced further. And, in the operation after the low temperature or long term stoppage, please operate by accustoming at low speed (warm-up), or use the warm-up operation mode.

Refer to the separate instruction manual "Detailed explanations of functions and operations" for details of related

parameter.

2.5.2 Internal wiring and piping (1) General environment

1) In the robot, two lengths of 6 pneumatic hose and a length of 4 pneumatic hose are piped as the pri- mary piping between the pneumatic inlet on the base and the top part of the No.2 arm.

2) The pneumatic inlet ports on both the base and the No.2 arm equip 6 pneumatic couplings and 4 pneu- matic couplings as a bridge.

2.5.3 Internal wiring for the hand output cable 1) In the robot, a cable for the hand is wired between the base and the top part of the No.2 arm (AWG #24

(0.2 mm2) 15 cores).The cable ends in connectors as a bridge of data.

2.5.4 About the Installation of Tooling Wiring and Piping (Examples of Wiring and Piping) The customer is required to provide tooling wiring, piping and metal fixtures. Screw holes are provided on the robot arm for the installation of tooling wiring, piping and metal fixtures. (Refer to the Fig. 2-24.) The length of wiring and piping and the installation position on the robot must be adjusted according to the work to be done by the robot. Please use the following example as reference.

After performing wiring and piping to the robot, operate the robot at low speed to make sure that each part does not interfere with the robot arm and the peripheral devices.

If you install metal fixtures and a solenoid valve using the screw holes on the No.2 arm portion, add the mass of the metal fixtures and the solenoid valve to mass of a hand then set the HNDDAT parameter. Moreover, Fix the parts, such as a solenoid valve, firmly to prevent the parts getting shaky during operation of a robot.

2.5.5 Air supply circuit example for the hand Fig. 2-26 shows an example of the pneumatic circuit of air supply for the hand.

(1) Make sure that a surge voltage protection circuit such as a diode is connected to the solenoid coil in parallel. (2) When the factory pneumatic pressure drops, as a result of the hand clamp strength weakening, there can be

damage to the work. To prevent it, install a pressure switch to the source of the air as shown in Fig. 2-26 and use the circuit described so that the robot stops when pressure drops. Use a hand with a spring-pressure clamp, or a mechanical lock-type hand, that can be used in cases where the pressure switch becomes dam- aged.

(3) If the air supply temperature (primary piping) used for the tool etc. is lower than ambient air temperature, the dew condensation may occur on the coupling or the hose surface.

2.7 About Overhaul

Robots which have been in operation for an extended period of time can suffer from wear and other forms of deterioration. In regard to such robots, we define overhaul as an operation to replace parts running out of speci- fied service life or other parts which have been damaged, so that the robots may be put back in shape for contin- ued use. As a rule of thumb, it is recommended that overhaul be carried out before the total amount of servo-on time reaches the specified time (24,000 hours for the robot arm and 36,000 hours for the controller) (See Fig. 2- 28.). However, the degree of the equipment's wear and deterioration presumably varies depending on their operat- ing conditions. Especially for operation with high load and frequency, the maintenance cycle may be shorter. For details on the part selection for replacement and the timing of overhaul, contact your dealer.

3.6 Emergency stop input and output etc.

Do wiring of the external emergency stop, the special stop input, the door switch, and the enabling device from the "special input/output" terminal connector.

Table 3-3 Special input/output terminal

*At the time of the power supply OFF, the output point of contact is always open.

[Note] The contact capacity of each input/output terminal is 24 VDC/10 to 100 mA. Don't connect the equipment except for this range. The use exceeding contact capacity causes failure. In the customer's system, do not ground the + side of 24V power supply prepared by customer for connect to the controller. (related with emergency stop and parallel input/output) If it connects with the controller under the condition that the + side is grounded, it will lead to failure of controller.

[Note] If a stop signal or servo OFF signal is input simultaneously with a door switch open/emergency stop input, the error, H056n Servo sys. error (A/D) may occur. When a door switch open/emergency stop is input, the robot turns off the servo after it stops. It is unnecessary to input a stop signal or servo OFF signal. To input a stop signal or servo OFF signal with a door switch open/emergency stop input, wait for 100ms or more after a door switch open/emergency stop input.

Pin number assignment of each terminal and the circuit diagram are shown in Fig. 3-6.

3.6.1 Connection of the external emergency stop The input terminals for the external emergency stop, door switch, and enabling device are opened (unconnected) as shown in Fig. 3-6. Connect the external emergency stop switch and door switch with the following procedure.

And, the example of the connection and notes of the emergency stop are described in Page 113, "6.1.7 Examples of safety measures" Refer to it together

[Caution] The emergency stop circuit is duplicated inside the controller. The emergency stop switch uses a double contact-type switch, so please be sure to fix both of the contacts to the connector pins as shown below in order to ensure the wiring is duplicated. An error will continue to occur in the event that only one of the pins is connected.

1) Please prepare the emergency stop switch, door switch and enabling device. a) External emergency switch

CR751 controller ..........CNUSR1 connector "between 2 and 27" and "between 7 and 32".

b) Door switch CR751 controller ..........CNUSR1 connector "between 4 and 29" and "between 9 and 34".

c) Enabling device CR751 controller ..........CNUSR1 connector "between 5 and 30" and "between 10 and 35".

[Caution] Be sure to use a shield cable for the emergency stop wiring cable. And when operating in an environ- ment that is easily affected by noise, be sure to fix the attached ferrite core (model number: E04SR301334, manufacturer: Seiwa Electric Mfg. Co., Ltd.). Be sure to place the ferrite core more than 30 cm from the connecting terminal section.

Make sure there are no mistakes in the wiring. Connecting differently to the way specified in the manual can result in errors, such as the emergency stop not being released. In order to prevent errors occurring, please be sure to check that all functions (such as the teaching box emergency stop, customer emergency stop, and door switch) are working properly after the wiring setup is completed.

You should always connect doubly connection of the emergency stop, the door switch, and the enabling switch. In connection of only one side, if the relay of customer use should break down, it may not function correctly. The robot output contacts (error output, emergency stop output, mode output, addition axis contactor control output) are duplicated output contacts that are wired in series. As with emergency stop switches and door switches, ensure that all connections to customer devices are duplicated to achieve redundancy.

Please make sure to wire the multiple emergency stop switches so that they each function independently. Check and make sure that the emergency stop doesn't only function under an AND condition (when multiple emergency stop switches are ON at the same time).

3.6.3 Door switch function This function retrieves the status of the switch installed on the door of the safety fence, etc., and stops the robot when the door is opened. This differs from an emergency stop in that the servo turns OFF when the door is opened and an error does not occur. Follow the wiring example shown in Page 58 "Fig. 3-6: External emergency stop connection (CR751)", and Page 113, "6.1.7 Examples of safety measures". Those figure explains the wire is contact closes when the door is closed. Details of this function according to the robot status are shown below.

*During automatic operation ...............When the door is opened, the servo turns OFF and the robot stops. An error occurs. The process of the restoration: Close the door, reset the alarm, turn on the servo, and restart

*During teaching........................................Even when the door is opened, the servo can be turned ON and the robot moved using the teaching pendant.

Fig.3-9 Door switch function

3.6.4 Enabling device function When the abnormalities occur in teaching operations etc., the robot's servo power can be immediately cut only by

switch operation of the enabling device*1) (servo-off), and the safety increases. To use the robot safely, please be sure to connect the enabling device.

(1) When door is opening Please do teaching by two-person operations. One person has T/B, the other has enabling device. Turn on the servo power, in the condition that both of switches are pushed. (Enable switch of T/B and enabling device) Then the jog operation will be available. You can off the servo power only by releasing the switch of the enabling device. And, care that the servo-on and releasing the brake cannot be done in the condition that the switch of the enabling device is released.

(2) When door is closing You can turn on the servo power by operation of only T/B. In this case perform jog operation outside the safeguard sure.

This controller is equipped with an additional axis interface for controlling an additional axis when a traveling axis or rotary table is added to the robot. A maximum of eight axes of servo motors can be controlled at the same time by connecting a general-purpose servo amplifier (MR-J3-B, MR-J4-B series) that supports Mitsubishi's SSCNET III. Refer to the separate "Additional axis function Instruction Manual" for details on the additional axis function.

3.8.1 Wiring of the additional axis interface Table 3-8 provides information of a connector for additional axes inside the controller, and Fig. 3-14 shows a connection example (configuration example).

3.9 Magnet contactor control connector output (AXMC) for addition axes

When an additional axis is used, the servo ON/OFF status of the additional axis can be synchronized with the servo ON/OFF status of the robot itself by using the output contact (AXMC) provided on the rear or inside of the controller and configuring a circuit so that the power to the servo amplifier for the additional axis can be turned off when this output is open. Fig. 3-17 shows a circuit example, and Fig. 3-18 shows an illustrative picture of its connection to the controller connector. When you are using an additional axis, please perform appropriate circuit connections by referring to these draw- ings.

Refer to the separate "Additional axis function Instruction Manual" for details on the additional axis function.

Refer to Page 66, "3.8 Additional axis function" for details on the additional axis function.

Note 1) you use the addition axis function as a user mechanism who became independent of the robot arm, please do not connect this output signal. Servo-on of the user mechanism may be unable.

Fig.3-17 Example of circuit for addition axes of Magnet contactor control output

[Note] For the input/output cable (CNUSR connector cable) that connects customer's system and the controller, prevent ground faults from occurring at the + side of the 24V power supply prepared by customer. A ground fault may lead to a failure of the protection device in the controller. Bending or frictional forces may be applied to the input/output cable repeatedly depending on the system configuration or layout. In this case, use a flexible cable for the input/output cable. Note that a fixed cable may be broken, resulting in a ground fault.

3.10 Options

What are options? There are a variety of options for the robot designed to make the setting up process easier for user needs.

User installation is required for the options. Options come in two types: "set options" and "single options".

1 Set options ......................................A combination of single options and parts that together, form a set for serving some purpose.

2 Single options .................................That are configured from the fewest number of required units of a part. Please choose user's purpose additionally.

(1) Teaching pendant (T/B)

Order type: R33TB: Cable length 7m R33TB-15: Cable length 15m

Outline This is used to create, edit and control the program, teach the operation position and for jog feed, etc.

For safety proposes, a 3-position enable switch is mounted.*1)

For multiple robots, one teaching pendant can be used by being connected to the target robot for each use. The power must be off before each connection.

Configuration Table 3-9 Configuration device

Specifications Table 3-10 Specifications

*1) <3-position enable switch>

In ISO/10218 (1992) and JIS-B8433 (1993), this is defined as an "enable device". These standards specify that the robot operation using the teaching pendant is enabled only when the "enable device" is at a specified position.

With the Mitsubishi Electric industrial robot, the above "enable device" is configured of an "Enable/Disable switch" and "Enable switch".

The 3-position enable switch has three statuses. The following modes are entered according to the switch state.

a) "Not pressed" ..........................The robot does not operate. *)

b) "Pressed lightly" .....................The robot can be operated and teaching is possible.

c) "Pressed with force" ............The robot does not operate. *)

*) Releasing or forcefully pressing the 3-position enable switch cuts power to the servos in the same way as when the emergency stop is input. This helps to ensure safety. Operations such as editing programs and displaying the robot's status are possible while the 3-position enable switch is released or forcefully pressed (excludes operating the robot).

Functions (1) Communication function

The number of usable points is 896 points maximum for bit control and 128 points maximum for word control.

(2) Easy setup The CC-Link interface card can be set by a rotary switch or DIP switch. No separate space is required to mount the CC-Link interface card as it is embedded in the robot controller (can only be mounted into slot 2).

Easy wiring since only four terminals need to be connected. Dedicated commands have been added to MELFA-BASIC V (robot programming language); thus, no complex interface programming is required.

(3) High-speed response The link scan time when connecting 64 stations is approximately 7.2 ms, achieving superior high-speed response performance.

A transmission speed can be selected from 10M, 5M, 2.5M, 625K and 156K bps according to the transmission distance.

The Windows standard is used for windows operation, so the controller initialization and startup operations can be carried out easily by following the instructions given on the screen. Even a beginner can easily carry out the series of operations from program creation to execution.

(2) Increased work efficiency with ample support functions The work efficiency is greatly improved with the multi-window method that carries out multiple steps and dis- plays in parallel. The renumbering function, and copy, search, syntax check and step execution are especially sufficient, and are extremely useful when editing or debugging the program. With the simulation function support, the program can be debugged and the tact checked before starting the machine at the site. This allows the on-site startup work efficiently to be greatly improved.

(3) The maintenance forecast function increases the efficiency of maintenance work. Analyze the load condition while the robot is actually operating. Based on this analysis, calculate the time for maintenance, such as lubri- cation and belt replacement. By utilizing this information, the line stop time as well as the maintenance costs can be reduced.

(4) The position recovery support function increases the recovery efficiency in the event of origin position dis- placement. This function compensates the origin settings and position data by just reproducing several previ- ous teaching points when hand and/or arm displacement occurs, when replacing the motor and the belts, or when reloading the robot. This function can reduce the time required for recovery.

4.1 Functions and specifications of RH-3CH-Sxx/RH-6CH-Sxx

4.1.1 Changed functions/specifications Some functions of RH-3CH-Sxx/RH-6CH-Sxx controller and some functions/specifications of MELFA-BASIC V programming language are changed from the functions/specifications of RH-F series. Table 4-1 shows details on the changes.

Table 4-1 List of changed functions/specifications

4.1.2 Descriptions of changed functions/specifications Definition change of component C in XYZ coordinate data

The definition of component C in XYZ coordinate data is changed for RH-3CH-Sxx/RH-6CH-Sxx. Refer to the following descriptions for the details.

The format of the robot position data is divided into two categories: XYZ coordinate and JOINT coordinate. XYZ coordinate format data includes position data, posture data, and associated information (flags). For a horizontal, multiple-joint type robot, the data is displayed in format such as (X, Y, Z, , , C)(FL1, FL2). The component C rep- resents rotational angle about the Z axis.

For conventional robots (ex. RH-F, RH-SD/SQ), the component C range is defined as -180 C +180 (Fig. 4- 1). For RH-3CH-Sxx/RH-6CH-Sxx, it is defined more widely (Fig. 4-2). See Fig. 4-2 to find two diagrams of (a) Forward rotation, and (b) Reverse rotation.

Fig.4-2 Definition of component C for RH-3CH-Sxx/RH-6CH-Sxx (over 180)

As the component C covers a value less than -180 or more than +180, an actual rotational angle can be set for the rotational angle for linear interpolation or perfect circle/circular interpolation. To move the work at a target angle in the robot programming, the rotation direction was set by specifying an operation in the argument Type or changing the multi-rotation flag (FL2) for conventional robots but is set just by specifying an angle for RH-3CH- Sxx/RH-6CH-Sxx value of the FL2 is always 0.

Due to this change, the robot program used for the conventional robots may malfunction. In such cases, refer to Page 100, " Functionality change of some commands and a function in MELFA-BASIC V" to change the robot programming.

Or the definition of component C can be converted back into the conventional definition by setting a related parameter to maintain compatibility among the robot program or robot operations. For information on how to adjust the parameter, refer to Page 101, " Parameter to select the component C indication method".

Functionality change of some commands and a function in MELFA-BASIC V

Due to the definition change of component C in XYZ coordinate data, some commands and a function in MELFA- BASIC V are changed. Table 4-2 shows details on the changes.

Table 4-2 List of changed commands/function for RH-3CH-Sxx/RH-6CH-Sxx

Command/function Descriptions

Mvs - The initial value of "constant 1" specified in the argument Type differs according to the setting

value of the parameter DISPCTYP.

When DISPCTYP=0 (initial value): The initial value of "constant 1" is 1 (roundabout).

When DISPCTYP=1: The initial value of "constant 1" is 0 (shortcut) (compatible with the conventional robots).

Zone - When DISPCTYP=0 (initial value) for RH-3CH-Sxx/RH-6CH-Sxx, the posture angle (component C) is

checked whether it satisfies the following formula: Position 2 Position 1 Position 3.

Make sure to so define the posture angle as to satisfy the requirement of "Position 2 < Position

3". If the wrong requirement of "Position 3 < Position 2" is defined, check results are not

returned correctly.

When DISPCTYP=1, the posture angle is checked, as for the conventional robots, whether it is

within the area covered by the robot arm's forward rotation from Position 2 to Position 3.

- When the posture angle (component C) check is not performed, set the component C to sufficient large values, for

example, -10000 for Position 2, and +10000 for Position 3.

Parameter to select the component C indication method The definition of component C in XYZ coordinate data is changed for RH-3FCH-Sxx/RH-6CH-Sxx. However, in order to maintain operational compatibility with the conventional models (RH-F, RH-SD/SQ, etc.), it is possible to use the definition of component C in XYZ coordinate data for the conventional models by setting the parameter.

Table 4-3 describes the parameter.

Table 4-3 Parameter added for RH-3CH-Sxx/RH-6CH-Sxx

Method change for setting a user-defined area The definition and evaluation of a user-defined area is changed for RH-3CH-Sxx/RH-6CH-Sxx.

(1) When DISPCTYP=0 (initial value) for RH-3CH-Sxx/RH-6CH-Sxx, the posture angle (component C) is checked whether it satisfies the following formula: AREAnP2 current position AREAnP3.

Make sure to so define the posture angle as to satisfy the requirement of "AREAnP2 < AREAnP3". If the wrong requirement of "AREAnP3 < AREAnP2" is defined, check results are not returned correctly. When DISPCTYP=1, the posture angle is checked, as for the conventional robots, whether it is within the area covered by the robot arm's forward rotation from AREAnP2 to AREAnP3.

(2) When the posture angle (component C) check is not performed, set the component C to sufficient large values, for example, -10000 for AREAnP2, and +10000 for AREAnP3.

Large inertia mode Enabling the large inertia mode has the effect to suppress vibrations of the robot arm when the hand (or work-

piece) with a large inertia is used. When the hand (or workpiece) with a large inertia is used, enable the large inertia mode. Table 4-4 shows the allowable inertia when the large inertia mode is enabled. Table 4-5 describes the parameter.

When the large inertia mode is enabled, if the inertia exceeds the allowable inertia for the standard load mode, the permissible value for the distance from the center of the shaft to the center of gravity of the load (the offset amount) is 10 mm.

4.1.3 Origin position adjustment of J2 axis When a calculated point is used for a robot's work point, the accuracy of J2 axis is important. This paragraph 4.1.3 "Origin position adjustment of J2 axis" gives the details of an origin position adjustment by the configuration flag (RIGHT/LEFT).

Fig.4-3 Origin position adjustment

For the origin position adjustment, a reference point is an axis center of a shaft. When a center of the hand is off- set from a center of the shaft, the hand must be removed before the origin position adjustment.

Origin position adjustment procedure

1) Designate any point as an origin position.

2) Match the center of the shaft with the origin position in a right hand coordinate system.

3) Perform teaching work to the joint variables JR.

4) Match the center of the shaft with the origin position in a left hand coordinate system.

5) Perform teaching work to the joint variables JL.

6) Execute the following commands in the order presented.

7) Move J2 axis to 0 degrees, and check the robot position.

MDJNT_J2=(JR.J2+JL.J2)/2

JDJNT_Data=(0,0,0,0,0,0)

JDJNT_Data.J2=JDJNT_Data.J2-(MDJNT_J2)

PrmWrite 1,"DJNT",JDJNT_Data

After the origin position adjustment, an adjusted value is stored in the parameter DJNT.

For another origin position adjustment with retaining an earlier adjusted value after the first adjustment is finished, change "JDJNT_- Data=(0,0,0,0,0,0)" into "PrmRead 1,"DJNT",JDJNT_Data" before command execution.

As a repeat of command execution causes an accumulation of the adjusted values, clear the parameter DJNT back to 0 before another

origin position adjustment.

6.1.3 Precautions for using robot The safety measures for using the robot are specified in the "Labor Safety and Sanitation Rules". An outline of the rules is given below.

(1) Robot installation Secure sufficient work space required to safely perform work such as teaching and maintenance related to the

robot. Install the controller outside the robot's motion space. (If a safety fence is provided, install outside the fence.) Install the controller where the entire robot operation can be viewed. Install display lamps, etc., to indicate the robot's operation state. Securely fix the robot arm onto the fixing table with the designated bolts.

(2) Prevention of contact with operator Install a safety fence or enclosure so that the operator cannot easily enter the robot's motion space. Install an interlock function that will stop the robot if the safety fence or enclosure door is opened.

(3) Work procedures Create and observe work procedures for the robot teaching, operation, inspection and emergencies. Create hand signals to be followed when several operators are working together. Create displays such as "Teaching in Progress" and "Inspection in Progress" to be put up when an operator is

in the robot's motion space so that other operators will not operate the operation panel (controller, control panel).

6.1.7 Examples of safety measures The controller's dedicated I/O terminal connector has a duplicate emergency stop circuit. Fig. 6-1 to Fig. 6-5 shows examples of safety measures. Create a circuit as shown below for safety measures. In addition, the figure shows the normal state which is not in the emergency stop state. [Caution] Since we have omitted the information in part because of explanation, there is the section different

from the product. Also refer to Page 118, "(1) External emergency stop connection [supplementary explanation]".

[Note] In the emergency-stop related wiring by the customer, if the coil (is not the contact points) of the relay prepared by the customer is connected to the controller, please be sure to implement the measure against the noise by the customer in the coil section. And, please also take the lifetime of noise suppres- sion parts into consideration.

Electric specification of the emergency-stop-related output terminal: 100mA/24V or less In the customer's system, do not ground the + side of 24V power supply prepared by customer for con-

nect to the controller. (related with emergency stop and parallel input/output) If it connects with the controller under the condition that the + side is grounded, it will lead to failure of controller.

(1) External emergency stop connection [supplementary explanation] (1) Use a 2-contact type switch for all switches. (2) Install a limit switch on the safety fence's door. With a constantly open contact (normal open), wire to the

door switch input terminal so that the switch turns ON (is conducted) when the door is closed, and turns OFF (is opened) when the door is open.

(3) Use a manual-return type of normal close which have two lines for the emergency stop switch. (4) Classify the faults into minor faults (faults that are easily restored and that do not have a great effect) and

major faults (faults that cause the entire system to stop immediately, and that require care in restoration), and wire accordingly.

[Caution] The emergency stop input (terminal block) on the user wiring in the controller can be used for safety measures as shown in figure above. Note that there are limits to the No. of switch contacts, capacity and cable length, so refer to the following and install.

Switch contact ..........................Prepare a 2-contact type.*1)

Switch contact capacity........Use a normal open contact that operates with a switch contact

capacity of approx. 1mA to 100mA/24V. *1)

If you connect the relay etc., rated current of the coil should use the relay which is 100mA/24V or less. (Refer to Fig. 6-6)

Cable length................................The length of the wire between the switch and terminal block must be max. 15m or less. Please use the shield line, in case of the cable may receive the noise etc. by other equipment, such as servo amplifier. And, since the ferrite core is attached as noise measures parts, please utilize. The size of the wire that fits to use is shown below. CR751 controller................................... CNUSR1/2 connector:

[Supplementary explanation regarding emergency stop circuit] The controllers internal circuit is as shown in the below diagram. Be sure to build a circuit that properly

shuts off the emergency stop detection relay when the emergency stop switch is pressed.

Fig.6-7 Internal circuit of controller

Be sure to perform wiring correctly. If there are mistakes in the wiring, the robot may not stop when the emergency stop switch is pressed and there will be a risk of damage or personal injury occurring. After wiring, be sure to press each of the installed emergency stop switches and check whether the emergency stop circuit works properly.

Be sure to duplicate connection of the emergency stop, door switch and enabling switch. If not duplicated, these functions may fail due to a broken relay used by customer, etc.

6.2 Working environment

Avoid installation in the following places as the equipment's life and operation will be affected by the ambient environment conditions. When using in the following conditions, the customer must pay special attention to the preventive measures.

(1) Power supply Where the voltage fluctuation will exceed the input voltage range. Where a momentary power failure exceeding 20ms may occur. Where the power capacity cannot be sufficiently secured.

Please use the controller with an input power supply voltage fluctuation rate of 10% or less. In the case of 200 VAC input, for example, if the controller is used with 180 VAC during the day and 220 VAC during the night, turn the servo off once and then on again.

If this is not performed, an excessive regeneration or overvoltage error may occur.

(2) Noise Where a surge voltage exceeding 2000V, 5kHz (equivalent to EN61000-4-4) may be applied on the primary volt- age. Near large inverters, high output frequency oscillator, large contactors and welding machines. Static noise may enter the lines when this product is used near radios or televisions. Keep the robot away from these items.

(3) Temperature and humidity Where the atmospheric temperature exceeds 40 degree , lower than 0 degree. Where the relative humidity exceeds 85%, lower than 45%, and where dew may condense. Where the robot will be subject to direct sunlight or near heat generating sources such as heaters.

(4) Vibration Where excessive vibration or impact may be applied. (Use in an environment of 34 m/s2 or less during transpor- tation and 5 m/s2 or less during operation.)

(5) Installation environment Where strong electric fields or magnetic fields are generated. Where the installation surface is rough. (Avoid installing the robot on a bumpy or inclined floor.) Where there is heavy powder dust and oil mist present.

6.3 Precautions for handling (1) This robot has brakes on J3 axes. The precision of the robot may drop, looseness may occur and the reduction

gears may be damaged if the robot is moved with force with the brakes applied. (2) Avoid moving the robot arm by hand. When unavoidable, gradually move the arm. If moved suddenly, the accu-

racy may drop due to an excessive backlash, or the backed up data may be destroyed. (3) Note that depending on the posture, even when within the movement range, the shaft section could interfere

with the base section. Take care to prevent interference during jog. *1)

(4) The robot arm consists of precision parts such as bearing. Lubricants such as grease are also applied on the moving parts to keep the mechanical accuracy. In a cold start under low temperature or in the first start after being stored for one month or longer, lubricants may not be spread enough. Such condition may lower the posi- tioning accuracy, cause servo and overload alarms, and early wearing of the moving parts. To avoid such situ- ation, perform warm-up operation of the machine at a low speed (at about 20% of normal operation speed). Move the robot arm from the lower to the upper limit of the movable range with the 30 degree joint angle or more for about 10 minutes. After that, speed up the operation gradually. Please use the warm-up operation. (About the details of the warm-up operation, refer to the separate volume "Detailed Explanation of Functions and Operations".)

(5) When the air hoses and cables are used inside the shaft (J3 axis), the grease for cable protection may ooze out or abrasion powders may be generated from the tip of the shaft while the robot is moving. However, move- ments and performance of the robot are not affected. Wipe off the grease or powders as required.

*1) Jog operation refers to operating the robot manually using the teaching pendant.

CAUTION

Working environment 6-120

6

6Safety

(6) The robot arm and controller must be grounded with 100 or less (class D grounding) to secure the noise resistance and to prevent electric shocks.

(7) The items described in these specifications are conditions for carrying out the periodic maintenance and inspections described in the instruction manual.

(8) When using the robot arm on a mobile axis or elevating table, the machine cables enclosed as standard config- uration may break due to the fixed installation specifications. In this case, use machine cables (flexed type) with the factory default special specification.

(9) If this robot interferes with the workpiece or peripheral devices during operation, the position may deviate, etc. Take care to prevent interference with the workpiece or peripheral devices during operation.

(10) Do not attach a tape or a label to the robot arm and the controller. If a tape or a label with strong adhesive power, such as a packaging tape, is attached to the coated surfaces of the robot arm and controller, the coated surface may be damaged when such tape or label is peeled off.

(11) If the robot is operated with a heavy load and at a high speed, the surface of the robot arm gets very hot. It would not result in burns, however, it may cause secondary accidents if touched carelessly.

(12) Do not shut down the input power supply to stop the robot. If the power supply is frequently shut down during a heavy load or high-speed operation, the speed reducer may be damaged, backlash may occur, and the pro- gram data may be destroyed.

(13) During the robot's automatic operation, a break is applied to the robot arm when the input power supply is shut down by a power failure, for instance. When a break is applied, the arm may deviate from the operation path predetermined by automatic operation and, as a result, it may interfere with the mechanical stopper depending on the operation at shutdown. In such a case, take an appropriate measure in advance to prevent any dangerous situation from occurring due to the interference between the arm and peripheral devices. Example) Installing a UPS (uninterruptible power supply unit) to the primary power source in order to reduce

interference.

(14) Do not conduct an insulated voltage test. If conducted by mistake, it may result in a breakdown. (15) Fretting may occur on the axis which moving angle or moving distance move minutely, or not moves. Fretting

is that the required oil film becomes hard to be formed if the moving angle is small, and wear occurs. The axis which not moved is moving slightly by vibration etc. To make no fretting recommends to move these axes about once every day the 30 degree or more, or the 20 mm or more.

(16) The United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods must be observed for trans- border transportation of lithium batteries by air, sea, and land. The lithium batteries (ER6V, Q6BAT) used in Mitsubishi industrial robots contain lithium and fall under the definition. When the lithium batteries are shipped for storage, etc., they will be classified as Class 9: Miscellaneous dan- gerous substances and articles. Please contact your transportation company and must provide appropriate transport safety measures as the customers consignor.

(17) If the air supply temperature (primary piping) used for the tool etc. is lower than ambient air temperature, the dew condensation may occur on the coupling or the hose surface.

(18) Collision detection function is valid condition for both of automatic and jog operation at shipping. So, the robot stops immediately if the robot's tool or arm interferes with a peripheral device, minimizing dam- age. Therefore, please use in the valid condition.

(19) When fumigants that contain halogen materials such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine are used for dis- infecting and protecting wooden packaging from insects, they cause malfunction when entering our products. Please take necessary precautions to ensure that remaining materials from fumigant do not enter our prod- ucts, or treat packaging with methods other than fumigation (heat method). Additionally, disinfect and protect wood from insects before packing products.

6.4 EMC installation guideline

6.4.1 Outlines Industrial robots are one of the components of automation systems as well as main components. This section introduces methods and parts to ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in automation systems.

We test for EMC in the environment described in this manual, but the noise level varies depending on device types, layout, control panel structure, and wiring, etc. Please make final checks for EMC.

6.4.2 EMC This technical standard regulates the following two items.

(1) Emission (EMI Electromagnetic Interference) ..............The capacity not to generate the disturbance noise which has a bad influence outside.

(2) Immunity (EMS Electromagnetic Susceptibility)..........The capacity which does not malfunction for the dis- turbance noise from the outside.

Each contents are shown below.

6.4.3 EMC measures There are mainly following items in the EMC measures.

(1) Store into the sealed metal board. (2) Grounding all the conductor that have floated electrically (makes the impedance low). (3) Wiring so that the power source wire and signal wire are separated. (4) Use the shield cable for the cable which wired outside of the metal board. (5) Install the noise filter.

To suppress the noise emitted out of the board, be careful of the following item.

(1) Ensure grounding of the equipment. (2) Use the shield cable. (3) Separate the metal board electrically. Narrows the distance/hole.

The strength of electromagnetic noise emitted to environment is changed a lot by the shielding efficiency of cable and the distance of metal board, so it should be careful.

6.4.4 Concrete example for RH-3CH/6CH series

Fig.6-8 EMC measures for RH-3CH/6CH

1) Install shield tubing on the CN1 cable and earth the both end of the shield tubing (robot controller side and robot arm side)

Recommended shield tubing Manufacture: Zippertubing (Japan), Ltd. Model name: MTFX-40

2) Attach ferrite cores to the CN1 cable and CN2 cable (see Fig. 6-8 for details). 3) Install noise filter to the power cable.

6.4.5 Component parts for EMC measures (1) Ferrite core

The ferrite core is mounted by the plastics case as one. It can attach by the one-touch, without cutting the cable. This has the effect in the common-mode noise. The measures against the noise are made not influential in the quality of the signal.

There are the following as an example.
