[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.

STE 58761  
Caution  
!
Before operating the equipment, perform the following inspection.  
(1) Make sure that visual appearance of the robot, controller, peripheral  
equipment and cables is in good condition.  
(2) Make sure that no obstacle stands in or near the operating range of the  
robot and peripheral equipment.  
!
(3) Make sure that the emergency stop and other safety devices operate  
properly.  
Mandatory  
(4) Make sure that no abnormal noise or vibration is involved in the robot  
operation.  
If the above prior inspection is skipped, the equipment will be damaged or  
you will be involved in an accident.  
The speed of test operation is initially set at 25 % of the maximum robot  
speed.  
The speed of automatic operation is initially set at 100 % of the maximum  
robot speed.  
!
Caution  
Once a cold start has been executed, all data saved in the controller  
memory, such as user program, position data, user parameter and system  
parameter files are initialized.

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  
F1  
F2  
F3  
F4  
F5  
F6  
Command names followed by a “>” symbol indicate commands which are executed  
immediately when the, corresponding function key is pushed.  
Caution  
!
The function keys work differently when editing with the screen editor or data editor. For  
more information, refer to Chapter 5 "Program Editing" and Chapter 6 "Data Editing."

[Bs], [Esc], [Exec]  
Guide key  
[Move]  
Cursor keys  
[Coordinates], [Teach Speed], [Control]  
1.4.4 Correcting Incorrect Entries  
Use the "Bs" key to erase any characters which were incorrectly entered.  
Example:  
(Correct) TIME 13:50:00  
(Incorrect) TIME 13:60:__  
Push the “Bs” key.  
TIME 13:6__  
Push the “Bs” key.  
TIME 13:__  
Keep on pushing the “Bs” key until the incorrect characters are erased. Then type in the  
correct characters.  
Caution  
!
The "Ins", "Del" and cursor keys may not be used when entering a command.  
1.4.5 Cancelling an Entry  
If you wish to cancel the command you are entering, simultaneously push the "ESC" key.  
This will cancel the command you entered and allow you to write the next command on  
the following line.  
Should an error message or other such message appear while entering a command, that  
command line will be negated.

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.

STE 58761  
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.  
1-16  
 
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.  
1-17  
 
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.  
1-18  
 
STE 58761  
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,  
an error message ("illegal key!") will be displayed and that entry will be invalidated.

2.2 TURNING ON THE MAIN POWER  
There are two ways to start up the controller - cold starting and hot starting. Normally, only the  
hot starting is required. For details, see Para. 2.2.2.  
2.2.1 Cold Starting  
Danger  
!
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.  
Caution  
!
Once a cold start has been executed, all data saved in the controller memory, such as user  
program, position data, user parameter and system construction files are initialized.  
(1) Function  
System programs contained on a disk inserted in the FDD unit (option) are loaded into  
the RAM drive. The RAM drive is thereby initialized and the controller is booted  
(started up).  
(2) Input format: None  
(3) Comments  
Normally, you should hot start the system. Only cold start the system when you cannot  
hot start it.  
After you have completed a cold start, remove the system disk from the controller disk  
drive. Should you leave the system disk in the disk drive, all the files in the RAM drive  
will be erased should the power go out and turn back on again.  
Copies of all files necessary for the RAM drive should be kept on disks for safekeeping.  
For information on how to save files on disks, see the Section "Saving files."  
The system disk must contain the following system programs and subscription files.  
System programs:  
SVPMTX. SYS  
MCPMTX. SYS  
Subscription files:  
CONSTRUC. SYS  
ALARM. MES *  
SYSTEM. PAR  
USER. PAR  
EXTRNSEL. SYS *  
SCOL. LIB *  
AUTOSTR. BAT *  
2-2  
 
STE 58761  
Files marked by an asterisk are not absolutely necessary to run the system. However,  
you will get an error if you try to execute a function dependent on a missing file.  
For more information on these files, see the Start-up Manual.  
(4) Procedure  
(a) Step 1: Insert the system disk  
Insert the system disk into the FDD unit (option).  
(b) Step 2: Turn on the main power.  
Turn on the main power switch located on the controller.  
The POWER lamp and SERVO POWER OFF lamp should light up.  
The lamp

The light on the disk drive should also light up around this time. This shows  
that the system programs are being loaded into the RAM drive. While these  
programs are being loaded, the START lamp on the control panel blink.  
When loading is complete, the SERVO POWER OFF lamp, the START lamp,  
the STOP and the CYCLE STOP lamp will all momentarily light up at once.  
The LCD (liquid crystal display) of the teach pendant will display the initial mode  
selection menu. The STOP lamp and the SERVO POWER OFF lamp on the control  
panel will be lit.  
Following this, parameters will be automatically read in from the disk in the disk drive.  
When this is completed, the disk drive light will go out. This marks the end of the  
cold start operation.  
(c) Step 3: Remove the system disk  
Once the cold start is completed, the system is booted and ready to operate.  
After checking to make sure that the disk drive light is out, remove the system  
disk from the disk drive.

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).

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".

STE 58761  
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.
