WARNING
• Before operating the manipulator, check that servo power is turned
OFF pressing the emergency stop buttons on the front door of the
DX100 and the programming pendant.
When the servo power is turned OFF, the SERVO ON LED on the
programming 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.
Fig. : 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.
Fig. : Release of Emergency Stop
TURN
• Observe the following precautions when performing teaching
operations within the P-point maximum envelope of the
manipulator:
– 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 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 power for the DX100.
– 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 during operation. Always press an emergency stop button
immediately if there is a problem.
The emergency stop buttons are located on the right of front door of the
DX100 and the programming pendant.

Definition of Terms Used Often in This Manual
The MOTOMAN is the YASKAWA industrial robot product.
The MOTOMAN usually consists of the manipulator, the controller, the
programming pendant, and supply cables.
In this manual, the equipment is designated as follows:
CAUTION
• Perform the following inspection procedures prior to conducting
manipulator 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 cabinet
of the DX100 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 the Warning Labels in the
Setup manual before operating the manipulator.

1 Arm Interfere Check Function
1.1 Outline of Arm Interfere Check Function
This function checks the interference among robot arms and tools in the
system consisting of one controller and multiple robots.
Interference between each of the following is checked:
(1) An arm and an arm
(2) An arm and a tool
(3) A tool and a tool
The checking method is to approximate each axis arm and tool in cylinder
and then the interference is checked between the approximated cylinders.
Spheres are set at both ends of the cylinder, and the interferences are
checked between spheres and between sphere and cylinder.
If this cylinder or sphere is intersected, the robot stops.

1.2 Setting of Arm Interfere Check Function
1.2.1 Tool Interfere File
The arm interfere check function requires setting of cylinder and sphere
for the robot arm. These setting values need not be set by the customer
because they are factory-set.
The tool part must be set by the customer because the tool shape
depends on the work that the robot performs. These settings are set in the
tool interfere file.
The tool interfere file is shown by using the procedure to select {TOP
MENU} →{ROBOT} →{TOOL INTERFERE}.
• A maximum of 64 tool interfere files can be set.
In accordance with the tool number specified in operation, one file is
selected out of 64 files.
• A maximum of 5 cylinders and spheres can be set.
1 to 5 points can be set by moving the cursor below.
• Point 1 and Point 2 set both end positions that set the cylinder.
Like the setting of the tool dimensions, the setting values are set with
the center of T-axis flange regarded as the starting point (X=0, Y=0,
Z=0).
• Radius sets the radius of the cylinder and sphere between Point 1
and Point 2. The sphere is set for Point 1 and Point 2.

1.2.2 Release of Arm Interfere Check
The release of the arm interfere check can be set in the limit release
screen.
The limit release screen is shown by using the procedure to select {TOP
MENU} →{ROBOT} →{LIMIT RELEASE}.
When the cursor is moved to {INVALID} of the arm interfere check release
and the {SELECT} key is pressed, {INVALID} is changed to {VALID} or
{VALID} is changed to {INVALID}.
Setting {INVALID} invalidates the arm interfere check release and checks
the arm interfere.
Setting {VALID} validates the arm interfere check release and does not
check the arm interfere.
1.2.3 Calibration between Manipulators (Robots)
To use this function, perform the calibration between manipulators. For the
procedure of the calibration between manipulators, refer to “DX100
Independent/Coordinated Control Function Instructions (R-CHI-A454),
Chapter 3 Jigless System, 3.5 System Setup”.
