1. OVERVIEW
The iPendant is an Internet-type robot teach pendant having a large color liquid-crystal display panel.
This teach pendant allows you to reference multiple data items simultaneously and its visibility has been
remarkably increased. The current user interface is also available with this teach pendant, so those who
are familiar with operations of conventional teach pendants can use this teach pendant easily.
This manual mainly describes differences between the conventional teach pendant and iPendant.
Operations which are not described in this manual are common to the conventional teach pendant and
iPendant.
For the common operations, refer to "FANUC Robot R-J3i B Operator's Manual."
The following items are different from those of the conventional teach pendant:
- Software LED display
While the conventional teach pendant uses 11 LEDs to display the status, the iPendant
displays the status with icons in the status window on the screen.
- Screen split function
The iPendant can display two or three split screens as well as one screen to enable multiple data items
to be checked at a time.
- How to change the operation target screen when multiple screens are displayed
When multiple screens are displayed simultaneously, the operation target screen can be changed in
turn.
- Function of displaying one screen and status subwindow
This function displays information such as the current position and safety signals with icons in the
status subwindow (left screen).
- Screen menus displayed by pressing the MENU key and those displayed on the edit screen
The screen menus which are all displayed at a time allow you to quickly move to a desired screen and
quickly insert a required command.
- Internet browser screen
You can enter a URL to access data on the network.
- Color display according to the alarm severity
Each message on the alarm list screen is displayed in the color specified according to its severity.
