Teach Pendant Questions

[Jwl]

These questions pertain to a RJ2 control.

1. I have located the variables for power on file loads. If I load the program at power on,  does the TP need to be connected during boot and operation? Does the operator only need to push the Cycle Start button on the front of the robot control?

2. If the TP does not need to be connected for operation, can you connect the TP in the event of a robot induced Estop or collision detect for resetting purposes? I have tried this on another robot that is not in operation and the TP turns on but freezes at the Title screen and all the indicator LEDs turn on. Is there a keystroke that is needed to boot the TP?

3. We are trying to avoid anyone from moving the robot using the TP but I do not know if that is possible. I notice that when the robot boots, with no one logged onto the system, the robot can be moved. Is there a variable that will allow only logged in personnel  to move the robot?

Sometimes our production operators like to think they've grown a brain and try to reset machines themselves. Long story short, production is down and $1000's of dollars of repairs

Thanks for the help

If you look at the variable scr grp, I believe you can lock out the teach pendant somewhere in there...atleast for the rj3 system.

You could built a lock box around the teach pendant with only certain ppl with key access.
