The ABB robot controller IRC5 M2004 is the fifth generation and has comprehensive upgrade and expansion capabilities. The ABB IRC5 M2004 has module strength, production flexibility, safety, control capabilities for several robots, excellent motion control technology, and PC Tool support, meeting the automation needs of various ABB robots, making ABB robot actions predictable, further enhancing their operational performance, without the need for programmers to adjust on site, truly achieving "what you write is what you get".

In MultiMoveTM mode, ABB IRC5 can control up to four ABB robots, and only one compact transmission module needs to be installed for each additional ABB robot. So ABB IRC5 M2004 has the following advantages:

1. Security: Compliant with all relevant regulations and verified by third-party units;

2. Compatibility: Compatible with most communication protocols on the market, easily expandable I/O, supports the vast majority of mainstream industrial networks, and forms powerful networking capabilities through sensor interfaces, remote access interfaces, and a series of programmable interfaces.

3. Programmable: ABB's entire range of robot systems can be programmed through RAPID ™ Programmatic control, this is ABB's highly flexible and highly programmable programming language. As a truly online/offline universal programming language, RAPID supports the development of structured programs and has multiple advanced features. Its powerful preset functions can easily cope with the development of common robot process applications such as welding and assembly, and can easily design highly complex solutions.

4. Reliability: Built in detection function ensures that the process can quickly resume and restart operation in case of sudden interruption. In case of unexpected shutdown, its built-in diagnostic function helps to promptly troubleshoot and restore production.

In the ABB robot IRC5 M2004 single cabinet controller, the control and drive modules are integrated into one module. The control module contains all electronic control devices, such as the host, I/O circuit board, and flash memory. The drive module contains all the power supply equipment that supplies power to ABB robot motors.

Emergency stop takes priority over any other ABB robot control operation. It will disconnect the drive power supply of the ABB robot motor, stop all operating components, and cut off the power supply of hazardous components controlled by the ABB robot system, which means disconnecting all power sources in the ABB robot except for the manual brake release circuit.

If an emergency stop is required for the ABB robot, do not turn off the main power of the ABB robot controller. Turning off the main power of the controller during automatic operation may affect the accuracy of the ABB robot. It is even possible for the arm to fall or loosen, endangering the surrounding devices.

There are also two forms of safety stop state (selected in ABB robot system configuration):

Uncontrolled stop: Disconnect the power supply of the ABB robot motor and immediately stop the operation of the ABB robot.

Controlled stop: Stop the operation of ABB robot, but in order to preserve the robot path, continuously turn on the power supply of ABB robot motor. After the operation is completed, the power supply is disconnected. Controlled stopping can minimize the necessary operations to return the robot to production state, so it should be given priority consideration.

Steps to recover from emergency stop state:

Step 1: Ensure that all hazards have been eliminated.

Step 2: Locate and reset the device that caused the emergency stop state.

Step 3: Confirm the emergency stop event (20202) in the event log.

Step 4: Press the "on" button of the motor to restore normal operation from the emergency stop state.

All emergency stop devices in button form have a 'lock' function. This' lock 'must be opened to end the emergency stop state of the device. In many cases, it is necessary to rotate the button. Some devices require pulling up a button to unlock the 'lock'.

The brake of ABB robots should be manually released when energized.

Steps to disconnect ABB teaching pendant:

1. Complete all current activities that require connecting ABB teaching devices. (For example, path adjustment, calibration, and program modification.)

2. Shut down the system. If the ABB teaching pendant is disconnected without shutting down the system, the system will enter an emergency stop state.

3. Loosen the connector cable counter counterclockwise.

4. Store the ABB teaching pendant and robot system separately.
