Info

This test is for P2 Machines

Using https://microvu.atlassian.net/l/c/3JJpdfVN check the states of the touch probe system:

  1. Initialize the machine in vision mode in InSpec.

  2. Close InSpec and open MotorScope. 

  3. Go to View > Testing

  4. Find the PI-200 section in the Sensors panel.

  5. Manually attach a TP-200 probe module to the TP-200 body.

  6. Set the "Trip Mode" to "Expected". Ensure that none of SYNC, HALT, or ERROR are asserted. If any of them are when the probe is not touching something, there is a hardware issue somewhere from the probe to the cable connecting the PI-200 to the logic board.

  7. When the "Trip Mode" is set to "Expected" touch the stylus with your finger. Make sure SYNC and HALT flash.

  8. Using the pendant joystick, slowly drive into a part. When the touch probe touches the part the machine should back off.

  9. When finished testing, set the "Trip Mode" back to "Ignore" and remove the TP-200 probe module from the machine.

  1. Check the lights of the probe module and probe head when attaching and touching the probe carefully with a finger.

    1. The PH6 LED should be on when the TP-200 module is not attached

    2. The PH6 LED should be on when the TP-200 module is attached

    3. Touching the TP-200 module when InSpec is not set to touch probe should cause:
      the PH6 probe head LED not to blink but it will remain on
      the TP-200 probe module LED should turn on

    4. Touching the TP-200 module when InSpec is set to touch probe should cause:
      the PH6 probe head LED to blink off
      the TP-200 probe module LED to brighten by an amount commensurate with the probe force as it is deflected.
