Re: Placement of Allen-Bradley Beacon?

There is a rule. It is rule <R59>

Quote:
<R59> ROBOTS shall use the diagnostic Robot Signal Light provided in the KOP. It must be mounted on the ROBOT such that it is easily visible while standing three feet in front of the ROBOT in the NORMAL CONFIGURATION. The team has no direct control over the light and no programming is required....

It must be visible while standing in front of the robot from 3 feet away. It is best to make it as visible as possible, as field personnel need to see it to diagnose any problems with robot operation..
