Using the PLC to Enable High Power
The details of enabling high power to the robot will vary, depending on the software running
on your PLC. The following screen shot shows RS Logix 5000 being used to enable high
power.

In this example, double-clicking Controller Tags, and then setting the value of pv_rbt_reset_
fault to 1 will enable high power on the robot.
NOTE:pv_rbt_reset_fault is the name for a register which is fixed when
downloading the PLC code example from the Adept Web site.
NOTE:The use of the blinking High Power button can be configured (or eliminated)
in software. Your system may not require this step.
