[0018] Reference Figure 1 And 2 A control loop capable of feeding back the stop condition of the motor of a robot, the control loop comprising an intermediate relay 7 controlled by a driver 1, the normally open contact of the intermediate relay 7 being connected in series with a motor brake 8, the normally open contact of the intermediate relay 7 being connected in parallel with the normally closed contact of a time delay relay 3, an I / O module 4 being connected with the driver, a switching power supply 1 supplying power to the control loop through an emergency stop button 2, the driver 5 outputting 24V DC voltage for braking, wherein the I / O module 4 and a controller 6 are connected at one end with the output end of the switching power supply 1 through the emergency stop button 2, the controller 4 is connected with the input end of the switching power supply 1 through the driver 9, and in addition, the KA1 and KA2 normally closed contacts of the intermediate relay 7 are connected in parallel with the normally closed contact KT of the time delay relay 3, one end being connected with the output end of the switching power supply 1 and the other end being connected with the input end of the switching power supply 1 through the driver 9.

[0019] Preferably, the emergency stop button 2 is a normally closed emergency stop button. The coils of the intermediate relay 7 and the time delay relay 3 are adapted to 24V voltage. When the driver has 24V voltage, the motor works normally; when the 24V voltage is disconnected, the driver reports emergency stop and the motor is hard disconnected. The time delay time of the energized time delay relay 3 is longer than the time of the signal transmission of the I / O module to the driver.

[0020] Reference Figure 2 In the figure:

[0021] ES: Emergency stop button. Two normally closed emergency stop buttons are used.

[0022] KA1, KA2: Intermediate relay. The coils are adapted to 24V voltage.

[0023] KT: Time delay relay. The coil is adapted to 24V voltage.

[0024] IO: I / O board. The emergency stop signal is low in level.

[0025] CU: Controller

[0026] D: Driver. When the emergency stop pin has 24V voltage, the motor works normally; when the 24V voltage is disconnected, the driver reports an emergency stop, and the motor is hard broken.

[0027] M1, M2...: Motor

[0028] When in use, the drive in this circuit controls the on-off of the motor through one normally open and one normally closed intermediate relay. The specific implementation is as follows:

[0029] The driver controls the intermediate relay coil, and the normally open contact of the intermediate relay is connected in series with the motor brake, and the switch power supply is powered. The normally closed contact of the intermediate relay is connected in parallel with the normally closed contact of the delay relay. When the upper enable is enabled, the driver brake output 24V, the intermediate relay coil is powered, the intermediate relay normally open contact is closed, the motor brake is powered on and opened, and the normally closed contact is disconnected, but the delay relay normally closed contact is in the closed state, the drive is normal, and the robot works normally.

[0030] When the emergency stop button is pressed, if the I / O module emergency stop works normally, the drive brake 24V output is disconnected, the intermediate relay coil loses power. The normally open contact of the intermediate relay is disconnected, and the motor brake is closed; the normally closed contact is closed, and the closing time is earlier than the opening time of the normally closed contact of the delay relay, and the drive emergency stop circuit does not alarm.

[0031] Once the I / O module emergency stop fails, press the emergency stop, the drive brake 24V output still exists, the normally closed contact of the intermediate relay does not close, and the normally closed contact of the delay relay opens after the time, and the drive alarms.

[0032] In this scheme, all control motor intermediate relay normally closed contacts are connected in series to avoid the situation that when a normally closed contact appears contact sticking fault, the I / O module emergency stop fails and the drive cannot alarm normally.

[0033] After the robot is powered on, the 24V switch power supply is powered, the intermediate relay KA coil is powered, the normally closed contact is disconnected, the power-on delay relay KT coil is not powered, the normally closed contact is closed, the drive emergency stop pin is connected to 24V voltage, and the I / O module input pin is high level, and the motor works normally.

[0034] After the emergency stop button ES is pressed, the normally closed contact is disconnected, the I / O module input pin becomes low level, the intermediate relay KA coil loses power, the normally closed contact is closed, the power-on delay relay KT coil is powered, the normally closed contact is disconnected, the drive emergency stop pin 24V voltage is disconnected, and the power-on relay KT delay time is longer than the I / O module signal transmission time to the drive. Therefore, the drive reacts to the I / O module signal first, and the motor is soft stopped. If the I / O module signal fails, the motor is directly hard broken through the drive to brake the robot.

[0035] While the embodiments of the present application have been illustrated and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the application, which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
