Testing the safety equipment
The Bravo interlock circuit must be closed for the Bravo Platform to operate. The Light Curtain and the pendant are connected to the Bravo interlock circuit. Use the following procedure to verify that the Bravo motion stops abruptly when you press the emergency-stop button on the pendant or interrupt the Light Curtain.
Before you start
Ensure that you have an appropriate Bravo profile.
Procedure
To test the pendant and Light Curtain:
1 In Bravo Diagnostics, initialize the profile.

a In the Jog/Teach tab, select a deck location from the Location box.
b Verify that the Approach height above teachpoint value is set to a safe height, such as 50, to provide clearance for any obstacles on the deck.
c Click Approach.
