Overview
Thank you for using the Universal E-Stop System from Mark Roberts
Motion Control (MRMC). The Universal E-Stop System is a safety relay
PLC between RT-14 and MRMC Motion Control and Broadcast rigs and
is fully integrated with the Flair Motion Control Software.
The Universal E-Stop System has the following main features:
Can be used as a safety PLC for a single robot. Multiple robots
using the Universal E-stop can be easily "daisy-chained" to
create a global E-stop system
An arbitrary number of additional E-stop buttons can be
attached and deployed in the customer setup

The two E-stop Status Non-safe connectors provide Auxiliary relay
output and can be connected to additional non-MRMC or custom device.
Any hardware that is plugged with these two connectors will be stopped
when the E-stop button connected with the Universal E-stop system is
pressed but the reverse is not true. In other words, the Universal E-stop
System will not accept any feedback from such devices.

Safety Relay PLC LEDs
LED/Key Description
Blue On indicates that the Safety Relay has power.
Green On indicates that the E-stop is enabled and the
robot can be engaged. Off indicates that the E-stop
is pressed and robot is disengaged and cannot be
re-engaged.
Red On indicates that the RT-14 Bypass key is in
horizontal position and RT-14 is bypassed. In this
condition both the software E-Stop (from Flair) and
the HHB E-stop have no effect. For safety reasons,
always ensure that this LED is off unless RT-14 is
bypassed temporarily on purpose.

Any number of Universal E-stop Systems can be added to the chain as
long as the one at the beginning of the chain has the Desk top E-stop box
plugged into E-Stop In and the one at the end of the chain has a jumper
plugged into E-stop Thru connector.
E-stop Button Expansion
Only one main E-stop box [19782] is used per safety relay box, which is
plugged to the E-stop In connector.
When using multiple desk top E-stop boxes, E-stop Extension Cable
[18466] is used to ‘chain’ the E-stop boxes.

You can even use Broadcast Panel with Ear [MRMC-1525-xx] for robot
operation and emergency stops as well. Again any number of Broadcast
Panel with Ear and desk top E-stop boxes [18519]’s can be added to the
chain in any order as long as the unit at the end of the chain has jumper
[14823] plugged into it.

Universal E-stop Bypass Operation
You can bypass the Universal E-stop system temporarily for
troubleshooting a fault in the system or to move the arm when Flair PC is
not connected for example to move the arm in transport position. To do
so, connect the Bypass E-stop button via E-stop Robot Cable in the
umbilical to the Robot Controller.

Bypassing the Universal E-stop System is for temporary use
only. Robot will enable as soon as E-stop button is reset.
This will also bypass the software E-stop and any other
hardware E-stops and the robot will have no controlled
E-stop action.

RT-14 Bypass Operation
By setting the key in the horizontal position, you can bypass
the RT-14. In this mode the E-stop can be enabled even if the
RT-14 is not connected or not loaded, or Flair is not running,
or the HHB is unplugged. The red led indicates that this
mode is active.

Bypassing RT-14 will make the safety circuit IGNORE the
software E-stop and the HHB E-stop that is plugged into
RT-14. This should be used only temporarily and the key
put back in vertical position soon after.
