[Operation]
Danger
!
•
•
During operation, NEVER enter the dangerous area of the robot.
Otherwise, you will be injured seriously.
DO NOT leave in the working range any machinery or materials which will
hinder the operation. If the equipment went wrong, a person nearby will
be injured or involved in an accident.
•
•
•
Anyone other than the operator MUST NOT approach the equipment.
Should he negligently touch a dangerous part of the equipment, he will get
injured or involved in a serious accident.
Prohibited
NEVER perform an inappropriate operation which is not described in the
instruction manual. Otherwise, the equipment will start by mistake,
resulting in personal injury or serious accident.
If you feel even a little that you are exposed to danger or the equipment
works abnormally, press the EMERGENCY STOP pushbutton switch to
stop the equipment. If the equipment is used as it is, you will be injured or
involved in a serious accident. When this happens, ask our after-sale
service agent for repair.
•
•
•
During operation, be sure to close the equipment cover. Should the cover
be opened during operation, you will be struck by an electric shock or get
injured.
!
Danger
Only a well-trained and qualified person is allowed to perform the
operation. Should the equipment be operated improperly, it will start by
mistake, causing a personal injury or serious accident.
If the equipment has malfunctioned, turn the power off, identify and remove
the cause of the abnormality, maintain the peripheral equipment and
completely restore the malfunctioned equipment. Then start the
equipment at a low speed. If the equipment starts, leaving the
abnormality, you will be involved in a serious accident.

STE 58761
Caution
!
•
•
DO NOT change the data of the system structure file. Otherwise, the
robot will operate abnormally, resulting in damage or an accident.
Prohibited
In principle, teaching operation should be performed outside the dangerous
area of the robot. If it should be performed inevitably within the dangerous
area, strictly observe the following matters.
(1) The teaching operation should be always performed by two (2)
persons. One person performs the job and the other person watches
outside the dangerous area. Also, both persons should try to prevent
mis-operation with each other.
(2) The operator should do the job in an attitude ready to press the
EMERGENCY STOP pushbutton switch at any time. Also, he should
perform the job at a position from which he can evacuate immediately
at the time of an emergency after confirming the robot working range
and shields nearby.
(3) The supervisor should keep watch on the job at a position where he
can see the entire robot system and operate the EMERGENCY STOP
pushbutton switch at the time of an emergency. Also, he should keep
anyone from entering the dangerous area. Unless an operator or
other person follows the instructions of the supervisor, accidents will be
caused.
!
Mandatory
•
•
If an abnormality has generated or the POWER LED lamp on the control
panel remains off after the main power switch of the equipment was turned
on, turn off the main power immediately and confirm the wiring.
Otherwise, you will be struck by an electric shock or a fire will break out.
Unless the robot operates toward a designated direction at manual guide,
turn off the servo power. Otherwise, the robot will be damaged or you will
be involved in an accident. When this happens, call us at the after-sale
service agent.
•
•
Pushbutton operations of the control panel and teach pendant should be
confirmed visually. Otherwise, you will be involved in an accident due to
mis-operation.
Before the hot start in automatic operation, be sure to reset a program. If
the program is executed continuously, the robot will interfere with the
peripheral equipment, resulting in damages or accidents.

1.4.2 Use of the Function Keys
In order to make it easier to input data, the teach pendant is provided with six function
keys, i.e., "F1" to "F6".
The functions to which "F1" to "F5" correspond will change depending on the mode. The
names of these functions will appear above the corresponding function key. By pushing
the appropriate key, commands can be executed without having to type in each letter
making up that command.
The "F6" key is the NEXT key. When there are more than five commands in a particular
mode, the NEXT key allows one to display the additional commands.
Example: Selecting the "SAVE" command
>
■
EDIT LOAD SAVE TESTRUN> RESET NEXT

STE 58761
1.4.6 Use of Wild Cards
You may use the wild cards * and ? when specifying files with the directory [DIR], delete
[DEL], print [PRINT], file save [SAVE] or file load [LOAD] command.
Wild cards are used to simultaneously specify multiple files. Using wild cards correctly
can save time and increase efficiency when specifying files.
(1) The asterisk wild card”*”
The asterisk wild card (*) can take the place of a file name or an extension. For
example, the specification “A*.*” refers to all files having a name starting with A and
having any type of extension (or no extension at all). All of the following files would
apply:
ADATA. BAT
ABC.PAR
AFILE
(2) The question mark wild card "?"
The question mark wild card "?" can take the place of any single character in a name or
extension. For example, the specification “A??.*” refers to all files that have a name
starting with A, are three characters long or less. A space or null character is also
treated as one character. All of the following files would apply:
ABC.PAR
ACD.DAT
AAA
In order to be able to use wild cards effectively, you should pay attention to how you assign
file names and extensions.

1.5 ASSIGNING NAMES
1.5.1 Assigning the Volume Name
When a disk is initialized, you can assign a name to that disk. This is the volume name.
In order to simplify disk handling, you should keep your files sorted by task and put related
files on the same disk. Also, be sure to give the disk a descriptive, easy to understand
name.
The volume name can be checked by looking at the directory display.
Volume names consist of a volume name proper, a period, and a volume name extension.
An example is shown below:
WORK1
.
FIL
FIL is the volume name extension.
It may have up to three characters.
A period is used to separate the volume name
and the volume name extension.
WORK1 is the volume name. It may have up to
six characters.
The following characters may be used in the volume name and its extension:
Alphabetic characters:
Numerals:
A to Z
0 to 9
The volume name extension may be omitted. In such a case, the period becomes
unnecessary.
1-15
-
-
STE 58761
1.5.2 Assigning a File Name
Every file in a disk or in the RAM drive has its own name. This is called the file name.
File names consists of a file name proper, a period, and a file name extension. An
example is shown below:
CONSTRUC
.
SYS
SYS is the file name extension. It may have up
to three characters.
A period is used to separate the file name and
the file name extension.
CONSTRUC is the file name. It may have up to
eight characters.
The following characters may be used in the file name and its extension:
Alphabetic characters:
Numerals:
A to Z
0 to 9
The file name extension is used to identify the nature (type) of the file. By using different
extensions on the same file name, you can keep related files together while still being able
to differentiate between them by purpose.
The following extensions are used for the following type of special purpose files.
Extension
SYS
Purpose
Identifies system files.
Identifies batch files.
Identifies parameter files.
Identifies library files.
Identifies maintenance files.
BAT
PAR
LIB
LOG
The file name extension may be omitted. In such a case, the period becomes
unnecessary.
When specifying a file having a file name extension, you may not omit that extension. If
you do, the controller will treat that file as a completely different file.

STE 58761
1.5.3 Assigning a Point Name
When entering positional data for a point, you have to assign a name to that point. This
name will be used later in the program when telling the robot where to go.
Point names generally have a format like that shown in the example below:
PNT100
PNT100 is the point name (in this example).
The point name may have up to ten characters.
The following characters may be used in the point name. (The first letter of a point name
must be an alphabetic character.)
Alphabetic characters:
Numerals:
A to Z
0 to 9
Note:
You may not use an identifier reserved for the SCOL language to name a point.
See Appendix B of Robot Language Manual for a list of such identifiers
(reserved words).
If you try to enter more than ten characters when inputting a point name, an error
message ("name over") will be displayed and that entry will be invalidated.
If you try to enter anything other than an alphabetic character for the first character of the
point name, an error message ("illegal key!") will be displayed and that entry will be
invalidated.
If you try to enter anything other than an alphanumeric character when inputting the point
name, an error message ("illegal key!") will be displayed and that entry will be invalidated.

STE 58761
1.5.4 Assigning a Name to Coordinate Data
When entering coordinate data for a work coordinate system, a tool coordinate system or
the base coordinate system, you have to assign a coordinate name to that data. This
name will be used later in the program when telling the robot which coordinate system to
use.
Coordinate names generally have a format like that shown in the example below:
TABLE1
TABLE1 is the coordinate name (in this example).
The name may have up to ten characters.
The following characters may be used in the coordinate name. (The first letter must be
an alphabetic character.)
Alphabetic characters:
Numerals:
A to Z
0 to 9
Note:
You may not use an identifier reserved for the SCOL language to name
coordinate data. See Appendix B of Robot Language Manual for a list of such
identifiers (reserved words).
If you try to enter more than ten characters when inputting a coordinate name, an error
message ("name over") will be displayed and that entry will be invalidated.
If you try to enter anything other than an alphabetic character for the first character of the
name, an error message ("illegal key!") will be displayed and that entry will be invalidated.
If you try to enter anything other than an alphanumeric character when inputting the name,
an error message ("illegal key!") will be displayed and that entry will be invalidated.

1.5.5 Assigning a Name to Load Data
When entering load data, you have to assign a load name to that data. This name will be
used later in the program when telling the robot which load value to use.
Load names generally have a format like that shown in the example below:
SAMPLE1
SAMPLE1 is the load name (in this example).
The name may have up to ten characters.
The following characters may be used in the load name. (The first letter must be an
alphabetic character.)
Alphabetic characters:
Numerals:
A to Z
0 to 9
Note:
You may not use an identifier reserved for the SCOL language to name load
data. See Appendix B of Robot Language Manual for a list of such identifiers
(reserved words).
If you try to enter more than ten characters when inputting a load name, an error message
("name over") will be displayed and that entry will be invalidated.
If you try to enter anything other than an alphabetic character for the first character of the
name, an error message ("illegal key!") will be displayed and that entry will be invalidated.
If you try to enter anything other than an alphanumeric character when inputting the name,

3.2 GUIDANCE COORDINATES
(1) Function
Selects a coordinate system in which to guide the robot from among the joint
coordinates, tool coordinates, work coordinates and world coordinates.
(2) Input format
None
(3) Comments
Refer to the Introductory Manual for information on robot coordinate systems.
If a tool, base or work coordinate system has not been taught to the robot, the
robot will assume:
(a) The tool coordinate system coincides with the surface of the hand mounting flange.
(b) The work and world coordinate systems coincide with the base coordinate system.
When using the tool or work coordinate system, make sure you have selected the
right one.
(4) Procedure
(a) Step 1: Select the tool and work coordinates
It is possible to have several work and/or tool coordinate systems. Therefore, you
must select which ones you are going to use with the WORK and TOOL utilities.
For details, see Chapter 12, "Utilities."
If you are using joint or world coordinates, this operation is unnecessary.
(b) Step 2: Select the coordinates
Push the "Coordinate" key on the teach pendant. Each time you push this key,
the lamp will cycle one step between World, Work, Tool and Joint.
The initial setting is Joint.

3.3 GUIDE MOVEMENT
There are three types of guide movement: jog, inching and free.
In the jog mode, the robot will move in the specified direction at the specified speed in the
specified coordinate system for as long as you hold down the corresponding guide key. The jog
mode is useful for rough positioning of the robot to get it near the target position.
In the inching mode, the robot will move in the specified direction at the specified displacement in
the specified coordinate system. The inching mode is useful for fine positioning of the robot near
the target position.
In the free mode, you may release the servo lock on the desired axes and move around the robot
by hand. The free mode is useful for fine positioning of the robot near workpieces and other
such objects.
(1) Function
Selects the guide movement mode.
(2) Input format: None
(3) Comments
When changing from the free mode to another mode, the servo mechanism on all
axes will lock-up (change to the locked state).
(4) Procedure
(a) Step 1: Select the Manual Mode
Turn the master mode switch on the control panel to "MANU".
(b) Step 2: Select the guide movement mode
Push the "Control" key on the teach pendant. Each time you push this key, the
lamp will cycle one stop between Jog, Inching and Free.
The initial setting is Jog.

3.4 GUIDE SPEED
(1) Function
Selects the guide speed or the guide displacement.
Guide speed will be set if the guide movement mode is set to jog. Guide
displacement will be set if the guide movement mode is set to inching.
Set the guide speed or guide displacement in accordance with how far the robot is from the
target position.
(2) Input format: None
(3) Comments: None
(4) Procedure
(a) Step 1: Select the guide speed mode
Push the "Teach Speed" key on the teach pendant. Each time you push this key,
the lamp will cycle one step between High, Med. and Low.
The initial setting is Low.

3.5 GUIDANCE
Caution
!
If the guidance is performed manually, do not enter the robot dangerous area.
If the robot moves abnormally, immediately effect an emergency stop.
If the robot will not move in the specified direction, consult Toshiba Machine.
・
・
・
(1) Function
The robot can be moved in the desired direction by pushing the appropriate guide
keys when the guide movement mode is set to inching or jog.
(2) Input format
The guidance coordinates, guide movement mode and guide speed do not have to
be set in any particular order. However, they all must be set before pushing any
guide keys.
(3) Comments
When the guide movement mode is set to free, the guide keys do not specify the
direction the robot is to move; rather, they specify axes for which the servo lock is
to be released.
The guide keys will only work while at least one of the deadman switches (on the back of
the teach pendant) is pushed down. This is to prevent accidents.
(4) Procedures
(a) Step 1: Select the Manual Mode
Turn the master mode switch on the control panel to "MANU".
(b) Step 2: Set the guidance conditions
Set the guidance conditions (guidance coordinates, guide movement and guide
speed) as necessary.
(c) Step 3: Guidance
Push the guide keys as appropriate while holding down at least one deadman
switch (on the back of the pendant). The robot will move as directed in the
specified coordinate system.

3.6 SERVO FREE
(1) Function
Servo locks can be released for axes as desired when the guide movement mode
is set to free. Axes in the servo free (i.e., unlocked) state can be moved freely by
hand. This is convenient when moving the robot near workpieces and other such
objects.
(2) Input format
None
(3) Comments
If You change from the servo free state to either the Test Operation Mode, the
Internal Automatic Mode or the External Automatic Mode, the servo lock will be set
for all axes.
The guide keys will only work while at least one of the deadman switches (on the back of
the teach pendant) is pushed down.
If you move the robot by hand in the servo free state, other joints may move as well due to
axial interference.
You cannot cancel the servo free state while in Feed Hold.
You can cancel the servo free state while displaying the Error History.
(4) Procedure
(a) Step 1: Select the Manual Mode
Turn the master mode switch on the control panel to "MANU".
(b) Step 2: Select the guide movement mode
Push the Guide Movement key on the teach pendant as many times as necessary
to select "Free".
(c) Step 3: Release the servo locks
While pushing down on a deadman switch, push the guide keys on the minus (-)
side to release the servo locks for the desired axes. Such axes will change over
to the servo free state.
(d) Step 4: Guide the robot
Guide the robot by hand to where you want it to go.
(e) Step 5: Set the servo locks
