5. Emergency Stop Switch
The E-Stop is a dual-channel, passive E-Stop that supports Category 3 CE safety requirements.
It supports a customer-programmable E-Stop delay that maintains motor power for a
programmed time after the E-Stop is activated. This customizable feature allows the motors to
decelerate under servo control to a stop. This can aid in eliminating coasting or overshooting
on low friction mechanisms. It can also aid in the reduction of wear on highly geared, high
inertia mechanisms, while maintaining safety compliance per all standards.
NOTE: Instructions on configuring the E-Stop delay can be found within
the SPEC.V2 section of the Instructions for Adept Utility Programs
manual.
3.4 Configuring the Controller
The SmartController is shipped with the factory configuration described in the next
section. See Figure 3-1 on page 37 for the location of DIP switch SW1. If you need to make
changes to this configuration, set DIP switch SW1 as described below.
Factory Default Settings
Refer to row #5 Table 3-3 for the factory default settings for DIP switch SW1.
With this default DIP switch setting, the system will read the configuration data from the
CompactFlash. This allows you to set all the configuration options using the CONFIG_C
utility in software without changing the physical DIP switches. See the description of the
CONFIG_C program in the Instructions for Adept Utility Programs documentation for
further information.
