WARNING

• Before operating the manipulator, check that servo power is turned

OFF pressing the emergency stop buttons on the front door of the

DX200 and the programming pendant.

When the servo power is turned OFF, the SERVO ON LED on the

programming pendant is turned OFF.

Injury or damage to machinery may result if the emergency stop circuit

cannot stop the manipulator during an emergency. The manipulator

should not be used if the emergency stop buttons do not function.

Figure 1: Emergency Stop Button

• Once the emergency stop button is released, clear the cell of all

items which could interfere with the operation of the manipulator.

Then turn the servo power ON.

Injury may result from unintentional or unexpected manipulator motion.

Figure 2: Release of Emergency Stop

TURN

• Observe the following precautions when performing teaching

operations within the P-point maximum envelope of the

manipulator:

– Be sure to use a lockout device to the safeguarding when going

inside. Also, display the sign that the operation is being

performed inside the safeguarding and make sure no one closes

the safeguarding.

– View the manipulator from the front whenever possible.

– Always follow the predetermined operating procedure.

– Keep in mind the emergency response measures against the

manipulator’s unexpected motion toward you.

– Ensure that you have a safe place to retreat in case of

emergency.

Improper or unintended manipulator operation may result in injury.

• Confirm that no person is present in the P-point maximum envelope

of the manipulator and that you are in a safe location before:

– Turning ON the power for the DX200.

– Moving the manipulator with the programming pendant.

– Running the system in the check mode.

– Performing automatic operations.

Injury may result if anyone enters the P-point maximum envelope of the

manipulator during operation. Always press an emergency stop button

immediately if there is a problem. The emergency stop buttons are

located on the right of the front door of the DX200 and the programming

pendant.

shown as follows:

CAUTION

• Perform the following inspection procedures prior to conducting

manipulator teaching. If problems are found, repair them

immediately, and be sure that all other necessary processing has

been performed.

– Check for problems in manipulator movement.

– Check for damage to insulation and sheathing of external wires.

• Always return the programming pendant to the hook on the DX200

cabinet after use.

The programming pendant can be damaged if it is left in the

manipulator's work area, on the floor, or near fixtures.

Macro Command

1Outline

The macro command function registers a prepared job as a macro

command and then carries out the job by the macro command.

With the macro command function, system integrators who apply various

MOTOMAN robot systems can freely create INFORM (a robot

programming language used in DX200) that corresponds to each system.

The macro command function enables an easier robot system with use of

the key customize function. (Refer to section 8.15 “Numeric Key

Customize Function” in the “DX200 INSTRUCTIONS” for details.)

1.1 Features

• A job prepared with the macro command function by user is

registered as a macro command.

• The contents of macro command can be prepared with INFORM,

which is the same manner as the normal job data.

• An argument tag can be added to a macro command like a normal

instruction. Macro commands and their argument tags can be easily

programmed at will in the job data display.

< Example > Macro command for sealing

• The macro commands can be used in the same way as the other

instructions. Unlike the CALL instruction, end users do not have to

consider the restarting method in case of a job interruption.

• The macro command function enables settings for post-processing

of the job interruption, such as the cancellation of current work

instruction, etc.

• If a macro command is interrupted during the execution, the

interrupted macro command is re-executed from the beginning when

the operation is restarted.

NOTE

• The macro command function is enabled only when the

security mode is in the management mode.

• The character strings and the character type variable of

the argument for macro command are available for

DN1.60-00 and later versions.

Macro Command 2 Preparation of Macro Commands

2.1 Preparing a Macro Job

2 Preparation of Macro Commands

The execution sequence of a macro command is registered as a macro

job.

2.1 Preparing a Macro Job

Depending on the applications, there are three types of macro jobs as

follows:

• Robot macro job with a designated control group

A move instruction can be registered in a macro command.

A macro command prepared as a robot macro job can be used only

in the jobs configured for the same control groups. For example, the

macro command prepared as a robot macro job for R1 cannot be

used in a job for R2.

• Robot macro job without a control group

Can be used for all robot jobs. Since the control group is not

designated, no move instruction can be registered.

• Concurrent macro job

Can be used in a concurrent job. Since the control group is not

designated, no move instruction can be registered.

1. Select “Management Mode” for the security mode.

2. Select {JOB} from the top menu.

3. Select {NEW JOB CREATE}

4. Enter the job name.

NOTE

The macro command function is enabled only when the

security mode is in the management mode.
