HW0482018
• Before operating the manipulator, check that servo power is turned OFF
when the emergency stop buttons on the front door of the NX100 and
programming pendant are pressed.
When the servo power is turned OFF, the SERVO ON LED on the program-
ming pendant is turned 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 buttons do not function.
Emergency Stop Button
• Once the emergency stop button is released, clear the cell of all items
which could interfere with the operation of the manipulator. Then turn
the servo power ON.
Injury may result from unintentional or unexpected manipulator motion.
Release of Emergency Stop
• Observe the following precautions when performing teaching operations
within the working envelope of the manipulator:
- View the manipulator from the front whenever possible.
- Always follow the predetermined operating procedure.
- Ensure that you have a safe place to retreat in case of emergency.
Improper or unintended manipulator operation may result in injury.
• Confirm that no person is present in the P-point maximum envelope of
the manipulator and that you are in a safe location before:
- Turning ON the NX100 power.
- Moving the manipulator with the programming pendant.
- Running the system in the check mode.
- Performing automatic operations.
Injury may result if anyone enters the P-point maximum envelope of the manipulator dur-
ing operation. Always press an emergency stop button immediately if there is a problem.
The emergency stop buttons are located on the right of the front door of the NX100 and
the programming pendant.

Definition of Terms Used Often in This Manual
The MOTOMAN manipulator is the YASKAWA industrial robot product.
The manipulator usually consists of the controller, the programming pendant, and supply
cables.
In this manual, the equipment is designated as follows.
• Perform the following inspection procedures prior to conducting manip-
ulator teaching. If problems are found, repair them immediately, and be
sure that all other necessary processing has been performed.
-Check for problems in manipulator movement.
-Check for damage to insulation and sheathing of external wires.
• Always return the programming pendant to the hook on the NX100 cabi-
net after use.
The programming pendant can be damaged if it is left in the manipulator’s work area, on
the floor, or near fixtures.
• Read and understand the Explanation of Warning Labels in the NX100
Instructions before operating the manipulator.

1.1 Link Servofloat Function
1-1
HW0482018
1Servofloat Function
The servofloat function of the NX100 consists of the link servofloat function and the linear ser-
vofloat function. The link servofloat function controls the torque independently for each axis;
and the linear servofloat function controls the torque on the Cartesian coordinates. Select
these two functions by setting the servofloat instructions accordingly.
1.1 Link Servofloat Function
The link servofloat function works in combination with the position control and the torque con-
trol, whereas an ordinary control is a position control that generates torque to keep the taught
position regardless of the applied external force. “Torque control” keeps the taught position
only by using the torque against the gravitational and frictional forces. Therefore, a manipula-
tor moved by an external force will not return to its original position.
With the servofloat function, external force moves the manipulator since the torque control has
priority over the position control.
For example, when removing a workpiece from the die-casting machine, a large external force
is applied to the manipulator by the extruding cylinder when a workpiece is grasped and pulled
out. The servofloat function is used to protect the manipulator from excessive external force,
and the manipulator moves according to the force applied from the die-casting machine.
Note that the manipulator does not move exactly to the taught position or along the taught
path, because complete position control is not performed during execution of the servofloat
function.
1.2 Linear Servofloat Function

HW0482018
1.2 Linear Servofloat Function
When a manipulator pushes a workpiece or visa-versa, a movement to one predetermined
direction may be desirable. With the link servofloat function, a servofloat motion in one direc-
tion is not possible since torque control is performed independently for each axis.
This function can specify the control of force in one direction within a space.*1
When unloading a die-casting machine, this function is useful for considerably long ejection
distances or when polishing or grinding.
*1 When external force is applied, the R, B, and T-axes move the same as in the link
servo-float function.
Only the end of the U-axis moves in a linear motion.
1.3 Using the Link Servofloat Function and the Linear
Servofloat Function
Use the link servofloat function when high-ferquency noise, motor vibration, or unsteady
manipulator motion occur depending on the manipulator posture, speed, and movement direc-
tion.
• Tool load information setting
The servofloat function compensates for gravity in real-time in order to prevent the arms
from dropping due to gravity even when the generated torque is limited. For this purpose,
the tool load information used for gravity compensation must be set correctly. Otherwise,
the servofloat function cannot be performed properly and the arms may drop down or rise
up.
For the tool load infomation, refer to Section “9.11.3 Tool Load Information Setting” in the
NX100 INSTRUCTIONS (manual number: RE-CTO-A211) to correctly set the tool load
information.
