3. Operating Procedures

3.3.6 Retuning to the default setting

All parameters can be returned to their default settings (factory settings) and the trip

history can be cleared using the pulldown menu or toolbar button.

Note: Initializing the data can not return the robot's default parameters. To return

the robot's default parameters, first initialize the data, then perform a

generation operation. For this procedure, see section 3.7, "Generation setup".

1. Turn the robot servos OFF and display the Parameter Settings screen.

From the pull-down menu, select [Parameter (P)] – [Initialization (I)], or press toolbar's

(file open) button.

2. When the following dialog box appears, select the initialization mode.

The following initialization modes are selectable:

Trip history clear: Clears the alarm history only.

Data initialization: Clears the parameter data only.

3. Click the [initialization start] button to start the initialization process.

While initialization is in progress, the robot driver LED indicator shows as follows:

Trip history clear

→

Data initialization

→

4. When initialization is complete, the robot driver LED indicator shows "d-00".

5. When the "Data initialization" mode has been selected, the PC automatically loads the

data from the robot driver after completing initialization.

6. Restart the system (turn power OFF and back ON again).

Note 1: Do not turn off the robot driver control power during initialization. The

EEPROM data (stored data) in the robot driver might be destroyed if the

control power is turned off during initialization, causing the robot driver to

malfunction.

Note 2: Before operating the robot after initialization, be sure to execute a generation

operation for the model being used. Operating the robot in an initialized

condition could result in robot malfunctions, and possible damage.
