Program Security
Programs and data stored in memory can be changed by trained personnel using the V
+
commands and instructions documented in the V
+
manuals. To prevent unauthorized
alteration of programs, you should restrict access to the keyboard. This can be done by
placing the keyboard in a locked cabinet. Alternatively, the V
+
ATTACH and FSET
instructions can be used in your programs to restrict access to the V
+
command prompt.
Overspeed Protection
Overspeed protection for a robot or motion system has to be taken into account during
system integration by the integrator or end-user. Overspeed protection is not guaranteed
by the controller hardware alone. The V
+
system software offers some overspeed
protection capabilities.
Voltage Interruptions
If the AC supply to the controller is interrupted, the passive E-stop output will be
automatically turned on (opened). In addition, the High Power, Brake Release, and Drive
Enable signals will be turned off. You must ensure that these signals are used to prevent a
hazardous condition.
