Information on Safety during Wi-Fi Connection

This section describes the information on safety when connecting with COBOTTA via Wi-Fi by using Virtual TP, Remote TP or Cobotta World ("Wi-Fi capable app" hereafter).

Note that a PC or tablet with the Wi-Fi capable app installed is referred to as an "operation terminal".

Response Time

(*1) Active stop: Stops COBOTTA according to the instruction from the operation terminal.

(*2) Passive stop: Stops automatically when COBOTTA detects the disruption of normal signals.

Buttons Corresponding to the Active Stop

The following shows the Active stop corresponding buttons used in the Wi-Fi capable app.

Remote TP

In RemoteTP, Active stop corresponding buttons are function buttons and [STOP] icon on the upper right of the window. These function buttons are displayed only in the "Displaying Program List Window (Run window)(Automatic Mode)". 

Virtual TP

Precautions When Operating Wi-Fi Capable App

• Operate the Wi-Fi capable app after checking whether the Wi-Fi application is connected to another COBOTTA.
• Operate the Wi-Fi capable app only in a place where the connected COBOTTA is visible.
• Operate the operation terminal in a state, where stable power supply is provided.

To operate in a battery-driven state, refer to "Precautions on Battery during Wi-Fi Connection."

Requests to System Integrators

The following is the requests to system integrators.

• Install the operation terminal in a place where the operation terminal does not fall or get hit.
• Install the operation terminal in a place where the target COBOTTA is visible.
• Make sure that a stable power supply is provided to the operation terminal. Make sure that the connection is established in a state of a sufficient battery capacity.
• Manage the passwords for each user level and for each COBOTTA.
• Check that the emergency stop switch works.
• Check that the LED displays correctly.
• Check that the operation terminal is connected with the target COBOTTA.
• Make the connection route in such a way that the maximum response time of 1 second is not exceeded.
• Make the facility in such a way that it is safe even at the maximum response time.
