Commissioning

Description

The following tests must be conducted before using the robot application for the first time or after making any modifications.

  • Verify all safety inputs and outputs are correctly connected.

  • Test that all connected safety inputs and outputs, including devices common to multiple machines or robots, are functioning as intended.

  • Test emergency stop buttons and inputs to verify the robot stops and the brakes engage.

  • Test safeguard inputs to verify the robot motion stops. If safeguard reset is configured, check that it functions as intended.

  • Look at the initialization screen, activate the reduced input and verify the screen changes.

  • Change the operational mode to verify the mode icon changes in the top right corner of the PolyScope X screen.

  • Test the Three-Position Enabling Device to verify that pressing to the center-on position enables motion in Manual Mode at a reduced speed.

  • If the Emergency Stop outputs are used, press the Emergency Stop push-button and verify that there is a stop of the whole system.

  • Test the system connected to Safety I/O Signals in the Installation section to verify the output changes are detected.

  • Determine the commissioning requirements of your robot application.

 

An application risk assessment must be performed for the safety of personnel and equipment.
