Start Up, Shut Down, and Emergency Recovery Procedure
6.1
Startup
Powering up the machine correctly is very important. An incorrect performance of this procedure could
result in damage to machine components or waste valuable production time. The operator must make
sure to follow all steps specified by this manual and steps that were taught during training to ensure
that no unexpected errors occur. The operator must always be aware of conditions inside of the
machine to avoid collisions during startup and referencing.
6.1.1
Initial Power Up
Walk around the machine; perform the start of day maintenance (Section 9.1.1) and check
to make sure pneumatic and electrical inputs are correctly attached.
Move the main breaker switch (located on the rear of the machine) from the OFF to ON
position. If the breaker is found in the TRIPPED position turn the machine off and report this
problem.
Once the control has booted up, the P-Series software will load automatically. If for some
reason the software fails to load automatically it can be opened by double-tapping the P-
Series icon on the desktop (shown below).
P-Series
Make sure all fixtures, parts and tools have been removed from the machine.
Release the
E-STOP
button.
Next, start the referencing routine, and all axes will move to their home positions. Press the
RESET
button found on the control panel. Then press the
ZERO
button followed by the
CYCLE START
button. There is no control over feed rate during the reference routine;
however when the machine finishes referencing the feed rate override becomes fully
functional again.
Once motion has stopped your machine is now ready for normal use.
6.1.2
Resuming From E-Stop or Auto Off
Walk around the machine and complete the start of shift maintenance (Section 9.1.1).
Release the
E-STOP
button and press the
RESET
button, found on the control panel. Press
the
SERVOS
button.
Your machine is now ready for normal use.
