estop

[Lbase]

We have a welding RJ3 robot and the estop is wired incorrectly. I can't find the manual for it. Is there an MCR attached to the stop circuit? When either the front panel estop or the workstation estop are pressed the robot comes to halt, but the welder stays on. I just need to include the output power in the estop I think.

Well I still haven't solved my estop problem. I have a R-J3 controller running Arcmate. The welder is turned on and off by DO[1] . This output stays on when either the operator E-Stop or the Controller E-Stop is pressed. I could pass it through the EMGOUT contacts, but it will just come back on when the E-Stop button is pressed. Is there a system variable or error severity that needs to be set so that all outputs are shut off if an E-Stop is pressed?

thanks for any help. I am new to robots, but not controls.

Hey LBase,

i have an alternate suggestion.

What you can do Connect the CMDENBL O/p from the robot to power up the welder. This was you can ensure that the welder is on only if the remote conditions of the robot is satisfied.

But with the above solution you will not be able to weld in the teach mode. (because CMDENBL is off during teach mode). To avoid this condition, you can also use the TPENBL o/p to keep the welder on in teach mode.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any help
