10.1.2 Turning the Control Box On and Off
The control box is turned on by pressing the power button at the front side of the panel
with the touch screen. This panel is usually referred to as the teach pendant. When the
control box is turned on, text from the underlying operating system will appear on the
touch screen. After about one minute, a few buttons appear on the screen and a popup
guides the user to the initialization screen (see 10.4).
To shut down the control box, press the green power button on the screen, or use the
Shut Down button on the welcome screen (see 10.3).
WARNING:
Shutting down by pulling the power cord from the wall socket may
cause corruption of the robot’s file system, which may result in robot
malfunction.
10.1.3 Turning the Robot Arm On and Off
The robot arm can be turned on if the control box is turned on, and if no emergency
stop button is activated. Turning the robot arm on is done in the initialization screen
(see 10.4) by touching the ON button on that screen, and then pressing Start. When a
robot is started, it makes a sound and moves a little while releasing the brakes.
The power to the robot arm can be turned off by touching the OFF button on the ini-
tialization screen. The robot arm is also powered off automatically when the control
box shuts down.
