Figure D-2. Cradling the Operator’s MCP
WARNING: The cradle for the operator’s pendant MUST be mounted
outside of the robot or motion device work envelope.
Connecting the MCP
The MCP is connected to the 16-pin connector marked PENDANT on the VFP. The
pendant emergency stop button and the palm-activated Hold-to-Run switch are wired
into the emergency stop circuitry. Therefore, either the pendant or the pendant jumper
plug must be attached to this connector. If neither one is connected, you cannot enable
High Power. If the pendant or jumper plug is removed, High Power is turned off.
CAUTION: Do not modify or extend the MCP cable. Doing this will void
the warranty on the MCP, the VFP and the SIO module.
WARNING: The Auto/Manual keyswitch on the VFP must be set to
Manual if the MCP is to be used inside the robot workcell. This enables
important safety features to protect the operator by limiting the speed of
the robot.
