WARNING
• Confirm that no person is present in the manipulator’s operating
range and that you are in a safe location before:
– Turning ON the FS100 power.
– Moving the manipulator with the programming pendant.
– Running the system in play mode.
– Performing automatic operations.
Injury may result if anyone enters the manipulator’s operating range
during operation. Press the emergency stop button immediately if there
is a problem. The emergency stop button is located on the top right of
the programming pendant.
• Observe the following precautions when performing teaching
operations within the manipulator’s operating range:
– View the manipulator from the front whenever possible.
– Always follow the predetermined operating procedure.
– Keep in mind the emergency response measures against the
manipulator’s unexpected motion toward you.
– Ensure there is a safe place to retreat in case of emergency.
Improper or unintended manipulator operation may result in injury.
Before operating the manipulator verify the following:
• Servo power is turned OFF when the emergency stop button is
pressed.
• When servo poweer is turned ON, the servo ON light on the
programming pendant turns on.
• When servo power is turned OFF, the servo ON light on the
programming pendant turns off.
Injury or damage to machinery may result if the emergency stop circuit
cannot stop the manipulator during an emergency. The manipulator
should not be used if the emergency stop button does not function.
Fig A: Emergency Stop Button
• An emergency stop button MUST be supplied on the equipment if
the programming pendant is not connected or used. Verify that
servo power is turned OFF when this emergency stop button is
pressed.
• Upon shipment of the FS100, the external emergency stop signal is
connected by a jumper in the bypass connector. To use the signal,
make sure to supply a new connector, and then input it.
If the emergency stop signal is input with the jumper cable connected, it
will not function, which may result in personal injury or equipment
damage.

1 Manual Brake Release Function
The “Manual Brake Release Function” is broken down to the following
sections:
• "Outline"
• "Activating the Manual Brake Release Function"
• "Manual Brake Release Procedure"
• "Warning Message"
1.1 Outline
With this function, the brake of each manipulator motor and external axis
can be released using the programming pendant.
The following operating conditions must be met to use the manual brake
release function:
• FS100 must be started up normally.
• Operating in any mode (REMOTE, PLAY, and TEACH.)
• All security modes (Operation, Edit, and Management.)
• Servo power is OFF.
• No Emergency Stop signal is present.
• The interlock connector FBB-CN210 is connected.
Due to the hardware configuration, brake release can only be performed
using the following groups:
• The S-, L-, and U-axes (the first, second, and third axes)
• The R-, B-, and T-axes (the fourth, fifth, and sixth axes)
• The seventh axis (either the E-axis or the first external axis.)
• The eigth axis (either the first or second external axis.)
CAUTION
Use caution when using this function because the brakes of up to three
axes are released.
NOTE
To restore power to the servo, remove the FBB-CN210
connector after completing a brake release operation.

the door.
1.2.1 Single Robots:
5. Install the interlock connector FBB-CN210 into connector CN210 as
shown below.
1.2.2 Dual Robots:
5. For dual robot controllers (such as DRC’s, SDA5F, SDA10F, and
SDA20F) there are two CN210 connectors, one for each robot or
group of axes. Install FBB-CN10 into the controller of the robot or
group of axes that needs to be released. If two FBB-CN210’s are
available, they can both be installed, making all axes available for
release at the same time.
