WARNING! READ ME!

CAUTION! RAPID MOTION!

Motion Console can effect rapid movements in machinery under its control. Entered parameter values take effect immediately, and may cause sudden, unexpected movement of machinery. Before entering or changing Motion Console parameters, verify that all personnel, hands, fingers, body parts, and property are clear of the movement area; otherwise, injury or death may result!

ATTENTION! MOUVEMENTS RAPIDES!

Motion Console est capable de produire des mouvements rapides des machines sous son contrôle. Les valeurs de paramètres introduites agissent immédiatement, et peuvent produire des motions soudaines et inattendues. Avant d'introduire ou de changer les paramètres, vérifiez que toutes personnes, mains, doigts, parties de corps, soient hors de la région de mouvement afin de ne pas causer de blessures ou de mort.


CAUTION! ELECTRICAL HAZARDS!

Before connecting servo amplifiers to motion control components, verify that all power is off and equipment is unplugged from its power source.

ATTENTION! DANGER ELECTRIQUE!

Avant de mettre en contact les amplificateurs servo avec les éléments composant le contrôle de mouvement, vérifiez que l'électricité soit éteinte et que l'équipement soit débranché de sa source électrique.


CAUTION! CONFIGURE PANIC STOP NOW!

Motion Console provides a software-based Panic Stop feature which may be activated in one of two ways:

  • keyboard key
  • Panic Stop button

The Panic Stop behaves according to the user-specified Panic Action parameter located on Motion Console's Motion Supervisor Summary / General Configuration tab page. Depending upon how Panic Action is configured, a panic stop may initiate a slow or rapid motion stop, an error state, or no error at all. For details on configuring your Panic Stop, see Chapter 2 of this manual. You must custom-configure your Panic Stop according to the level of control and safety demanded by your motion system! Configure your Panic Stop now, before proceeding!

IMPORTANT! In addition to the software-based Panic Stop feature offered in Motion Console, users are strongly urged to construct a hardware-based emergency stop system. This should be done before commencing motion control testing and configuration. (Most such hardware-based safety systems work by interupting power to motion components.) For assistance with constructing a hardware-based emergency stop, readers are directed to their local governmental occupational safety guidelines.
