■ Powering on and Powering off the LSM
The following pages describe how to power on and power off the LSM. The
pages also provide IPL and emergency power off procedures.
Powering on
When power is applied to the LSM, the functional microcode on the LMU hard
drive is downloaded from the LMU to the LCU. The microcode controls the
robot. The LSM will not operate without this code.
Note: The LMU must be powered on for the code to be downloaded to the
LCU.
To power on the LSM:
1. Press the
POWER switch on the LSM operator panel. See Figure 3-2 on
page 3-5.
• The panel displays PROM and boot diagnostic routines.
• The panel displays OFFLINE when the diagnostic and initialization
routines are complete.
Note: If the LSM does not power on, contact Customer Support Services and
report the problem.
2. Refer to your software user’s guide and place the LSM online to perform
automated operations.
Powering off
To power off an LSM:
1. Refer to your software user’s guide and place the LSM offline.
The panel displays OFFLINE.
2. Press the
POWER switch on the LSM operator panel. See Figure 3-2 on
page 3-5.
IPLing
When an IPL is performed on the LSM, the microcode is downloaded from the
LMU to the LCU, and the LSM performs a full initialization routine.
To IPL an LSM:
1. Refer to your software user’s guide and place the LSM offline.
2. Press the
IPL switch on the LSM operator panel. See Figure 3-2 on page 3-5.
