Precautions for Axis Operation with Wireless Connection
Touch Panel Teaching Pendant TB-03 (V2.30 or later) can operate the option model code -WL2 ELECYLINDER with wireless connection. For operation with wireless connection, secure safety by following the precautions below before use.
- The stop switch on Touch Panel Teaching Pendant TB-03 will not function during wireless connection. Prepare a device / circuit to stop the operation when emergency stop is required.
- For axis operation with wireless connection, operation testing (movement to forward and backward ends, jog operation, inching operation) is possible, but the control device is not designed for purposes of automatic operation. Construct a mechanical system based on the risks of the operating environment.
- Carry out risk assessment based on the standard/spec requirements of the machinery for installation. Dangerous operation, such as that requiring an automatic stop when control signals cannot be received (including disabled communication) is not acceptable.
