50817 Teach Pendant Unit:
Interface: Runs the AS (Advanced System) language menu structure via touchscreen and tactile keys.
Ergonomics: Houses dual 3-position deadman (enabling) switches on the rear for safe manual operation inside the robot workcell.
E-Stop: Top-mounted mushroom emergency stop integrated directly into the controller's safety circuit.
50977-1004 Cable:
Length: Standard 10m connection cable.
Strain Relief & Connector: Features heavy-duty industrial strain relief at the pendant base and a multi-pin HARTING-style lock connector that plugs directly into the front panel of the E-Controller.
Touchscreen Calibration & LCD: Check for dead pixels, backlight dimming, or cracked digitizers.
Deadman Switch Operation: Ensure both 3-position switches give clear mechanical clicks (Off - On - Panic Off). Stuck or worn switches cause immediate safety circuit fault alarms (D001 / E-stop errors) on the controller.
Cable Jacket & Pins: Inspect the 50977-1004 flex cable along its entire length for tears or exposed shielding, and verify that no connector pins are bent or pushed back inside the connector housing.
