1—10 PS288 Owner’s Manual

WARNING: Pressing an E-Stop button stops motion of the gantry

and PNP head only. It does not remove power from the PS288 or

the Option Bay (if installed).

To restart the system, turn the E-Stop button clockwise (follow the

direction of the arrows on the button) until it springs back to its full

height. Follow onscreen messages to resume operation.

2. Safety shields and interlocks—

During operation, when the high-speed PNP head is processing

devices, the clear plastic shields around the system are closed to protect

personnel from injury.

WARNING: The high speed and force behind a moving gantry

will expose anyone working inside the operating envelope to seri-

ous bodily injury. When working within the machine, moving the

PNP head must be the responsibility of only one qualified individ-

ual. All other personnel near the system must stay clear of the

operating envelope and any machine controls to prevent injury to

the person working within the PS288. Never operate the PS288

with any interlock bypassed.

CAUTION: Do not use solvents such as acetone, lacquer thinner,

mineral spirits, isopropyl alcohol, or any type of abrasive com-

pound on the safety shield surfaces. Use of these products will dam-

age the safety shield surfaces and reduce visibility within the

operating area.

Software and

User Interface

Components

During programming operations, the PS288 is controlled using the key-

board, touchpad, or touch screen, and two software interfaces (TaskLink and

AH500). The software components reside in the Handler Computer on the

PS288.

The PS288 is a complete system with various subsystems within it, such as

the robotics system, power supplies, programmers, and Handler Computer.

In order to operate properly, the PS288 must remain intact.

The Handler Computer, with an additional Network Interface Card (NIC),

can communicate with a corporate network. The primary logon for the Han-

dler Computer will be MS Client.

Customer-supplied antivirus software can be installed on the Handler Com-

puter. However, the antivirus software should not be scheduled to execute

during a Job run. Instead, execute the antivirus software after the PS288 is

first started and before a Job is run.

In addition, customer-supplied Statistical Process Control software can be

installed on the Handler Computer. See “Statistical Process Control Software

(SPC)” on page 3-50 for more information.

The PS288 should never have other software added unless instructed to do

so by Data I/O Customer Support.

CAUTION: Adding software to the PS288 can cause damage

and/or cause it to operate improperly. Adding software without spe-

cific instruction from Data I/O Customer Support will void the war-

ranty and may incur service charges.

CAUTION: Windows system parameters and network parameters

should not be changed unless instructed to do so by Data I/O Cus-

tomer Support. Changing Windows or network system parameters

can cause failure and/or damage to these systems or cause

improper programming.

TaskLink Interface

Data I/O’s user interface is TaskLink

™

for Windows

. TaskLink uses a

Microsoft

Windows

-based system for Task creation and analysis and oper-

ates from the Handler Computer. TaskLink is used to create jobs to run on

the PS288. Figure 1-4 shows the TaskLink main screen.

Extensive online Help is available for TaskLink by selecting the Help menu

on the main screen and clicking Help Topics.

AH500 Interface

Data I/O’s Automated Handler (AH500) software is a Microsoft

Win-

dows

-based system used to set up various PS288 system parameters such as

input/output configurations, labeling options, vision system, and PNP head

calibration. These parameters are contained in the WinAH400.ini file.

AH500 operates from the Handler Computer. Figure 1-6 shows a sample

AH500 user interface window.
