WARNING
• Before operating the manipulator, check that servo power is turned OFF
when the emergency stop buttons on the front door of the NX100 and
programming pendant are pressed.
When the servo power is turned OFF, the SERVO ON LED on the program-
ming pendant is turned OFF.

Injury or damage to machinery may result if the emergency stop circuit cannot stop the
manipulator during an emergency. The manipulator should not be used if the emergency
stop buttons do not function.

Emergency Stop Button

• Once the emergency stop button is released, clear the cell of all items
which could interfere with the operation of the manipulator. Then turn
the servo power ON.

Injury may result from unintentional or unexpected manipulator motion.

TURN

Release of Emergency Stop

• Observe the following precautions when performing teaching operations

within the P-point maximum envelope of the manipulator :
- View the manipulator from the front whenever possible.
- Always follow the predetermined operating procedure.
- Ensure that you have a safe place to retreat in case of emergency.

Improper or unintended manipulator operation may result in injury.

• Confirm that no persons are present in the P-point maximum envelope of

the manipulator and that you are in a safe location before:
- Turning ON the NX100 power
- Moving the manipulator with the programming pendant
- Running the system in the check mode
- Performing automatic operations

Injury may result if anyone enters the P-point maximum envelope of the manipulator dur-
ing operation. Always press an emergency stop button immediately if there are prob-
lems.The emergency stop buttons are located on the right of the front door of the NX100
and the programming pendant.

HW0482596
HW0482596

CAUTION
• Perform the following inspection procedures prior to conducting manip-
ulator teaching. If problems are found, repair them immediately, and be
sure that all other necessary processing has been performed.
-Check for problems in manipulator movement.
-Check for damage to insulation and sheathing of external wires.

• Always return the programming pendant to the hook on the NX100 cabi-
net after use.

The programming pendant can be damaged if it is left in the P-point maximum envelope
of the manipulator, on the floor, or near fixtures.

• Read and understand the Explanation of Warning Labels in the NX100

Instructions before operating the manipulator.

1 Outline of Interface Panel Function

This function makes the system construction simple and enables the reduction of operation
panel and Interlock panel (hereinafter called "I/L panel") by holding the roles of operation
panel and I/L board in the programming pendant (hereinafter called "P.P").
Users can construct the arbitrary operation panel for P.P by setting data in Interface panel set-
