2.5 HAPTIC iPENDANT
2.5.1 Overview
The iPendant provides you valuable information such as warni ngs and other mess ages. During
teachi ng and playback, however, you often focus on the robot, equipment, and workpiece rather than
the iPendant, and can miss valuable information displayed to alert or notify you. Critical events
such as I/O triggering, motion / process parameter changes, and so forth could go unnoticed, since
they could be invisible or are not easy to see.
The Haptic (vibration) iPendant (equipped with a haptic motor) alert s you by vibrating the iPendant
case and displaying a Bubble Not i cation momentarily to indicate the cause and/or action required.
The Haptic iPendant:
• Saves Teaching Time: by letting you know a Critical / Invis ible Event just occurred or could
soon occur
• Al erts you to Process Conditions: alerts you on process conditions that you might overlook
(e.g. Arc enabled)
• Lets You Feel an Event: It is not easy to watch the Robot (e.g. TCP) and the iPendant (e.g. I/O
stat us) at the same time, e.g. while tuning a robot mounted proximity sensor. The vibration
let s you feel it.
• Provides User-De ned Alerts: Enhances the user teaching experience by de ning your own
conditions for Haptic feedback.
The Haptic iPendant is active when the
• Teach Pendant is enabled or,
• DEADMAN swi tch is held
Note These conditi ons are independent of the Mode Switch Setting. For example, even in Auto
Mode, the Haptic iPendant wi ll be active if you hold the DEADMAN swi tch.
