Upgrading Titan Master & Slave
Controller EPROMs

Compliance:
Recommended*

ISSUE DATE
September 8, 2005

AFFECTED PRODUCTS
Titan 2, 3, and 4 Manipulator Systems

AFFECTED COMPONENTS
Master controller and slave controller EPROMs

SERVICE INFORMATION
If you operate any combination of standard Titan 2, Titan 3 and Titan 4 manipulator
systems, upgrading the EPROMs in all Titan master controllers and Titan 2 and 3 slave
controllers is recommended.
With the newest EPROMS installed, any Titan master controller can operate any standard Titan 2,
3, and 4 manipulator systems without error messages or the need to overwrite existing software and
settings. The operator sees only the normal startup, operation, and configuration screens, and, existing settings for joint travel limits, stow sequence, error checks, and servo valve offsets are retained.

! Caution
Never connect a T3 slave arm to a T2 slave controller. The voltage difference
(24VDC versus 120/240 VAC) will cause damage to slave arm components.

FIELD ACTION
1.

Inspect all master controller EPROMs and Titan 2 and 3 slave controller EPROMS.

2.

Install master controller EPROM 014-0695, Rev D if not present.

3.

(Titan 2 and 3 only) Install slave controller EPROM 014-0594, Rev C (introduced mid-1999) if
not present.

NOTE: No EPROM change is necessary for Titan 4 in-arm slave controllers.


*BULLETIN COMPLIANCE LEVELS
REQUIRED Field action is REQUIRED to ensure personnel safety, equipment functionality, and/or continuation of warranty coverage.
RECOMMENDED Field action is not required but is highly RECOMMENDED and will result in significantly
increased levels of personnel safety and/or equipment functionality.
OPTIONAL Field action may be useful under certain circumstances. Compliance is OPTIONAL and left to
the discretion of the owner/operator.
ADVISORY Bulletin contains advisory information to assist the owner/operator in more effective operation or service of the product. Compliance is not rated.

Other Features of Master Controller EPROM 014-0695, Rev D


The new EPROM also provides clear options when it is installed in a master controller with incompatible software (previously used with an incompatible system) or it is used to control an incompatible system.
If the master controller was previously used to operate a non-standard/custom Titan system, the
new software will detect an incompatibility with the software code on the master controller CPU
board EEPROM and display the alert screen below. You then have two options.
1.

2.

If you want to implement operation,


press the 4> Yes key to overwrite the
EEPROM with software appropriate
for the Titan slave arm that is detected
(T4 in the sample screen at right)
and proceed with normal startup and
operation of the Titan slave arm.
Overwriting installs factory default
settings. Joint travel limits, stow
sequence, error checks, and servo
valve offsets must be reset as
necessary.

SCHILLING ROBOTICS, LLC


TITAN MANIPULATOR SYSTEM
-------------------------------The ID Code indicates that
this Master Controller may
have been configured for a
non-Titan manipulator.
Select [Yes] only if you would
like to change ID Code to T4
and to overwrite saved values
for joint limits and stow.
4> Yes
--------------------------------

If you dont want to lose existing joint travel limits, stow sequences, error checks, and servo
valve offsets, replace the original EPROM and install the new EPROM in a different master
controller where it is OK to overwrite existing values.

When the master controller is connected to an incompatible Titan slave controller/slave arm, such
as a Titan 7F or a non-standard/custom Titan, you will see the alert screen below. You then have two
options.
1.

Recommended option: Do not use the


master controller. Connect a
compatible model instead.

2.

Use the 4> Yes option only if


emergency operation is absolutely
necessary as the slave arm may
display uncontrolled or inconsistent
operation.

SCHILLING ROBOTICS, LLC


TITAN MANIPULATOR SYSTEM
-------------------------------The Master Controller software
is not compatible with the
slave arm. Further operation
may risk damage to equipment.
Select [Yes] only if you would
like to proceed anyway.

4> Yes
--------------------------------

Non-Titan Systems
A Titan master controller/EPROM cannot communicate with a NON-TITAN slave arm and, if connected, will display a Fatal Telemetry Error screen at startup.

New Potentiometer Expands Master
Controller Display Adjustability

Compliance:
OPTIONAL*

ISSUE DATE
September 2, 2005

AFFECTED PRODUCT(S)
Titan 3, Titan 4, Conan P, and Orion P Manipulator Systems

AFFECTED COMPONENT
Newer Master Controllers with a blue gray LCD. Older master controllers with a
greenish yellow LCD are NOT affected by this bulletin.

SERVICE ISSUE
Newer Titan 3, Titan 4, Conan P and Orion P master controllers (with the blue-gray
LCD) have automatic and manual adjustments for keeping the viewing angle consistent under varying temperature conditions. However, the range of temperature in
some environments may be greater than the range of adjustability.
This condition can be corrected with a new adjustment potentiometer (005-0705) that extends the
adjustment range to approximately 0 to 100F (-18c to +40c). Field replacement of the potentiometer (Figure 1, arrow) requires PCB-level soldering and mechanical skills.

Figure 1 Display adjustment potentiometer on the display transition PCB


Potentiometer 005-0705 is available upon request at no charge for field installation and will be
installed at no charge on master controllers returned to the factory for other service.

Install Pressure Relief Valves on
Rigmaster Slave Arms

Compliance:
Recommended*

ISSUE DATE
March 17, 2008

AFFECTED PRODUCTS
Rigmaster Slave Arms

AFFECTED COMPONENTS
Pressure relief valves and cross-port check valves

SERVICE INFORMATION
Earlier revisions of the Rigmaster hydraulic schematic showed pressure relief valves
on azimuth, boom, and shoulder functions only. This can result in failure of the wrist
slip-ring manifold due to the actuator over-pressurizing the jaw circuit. All Rigmaster
functions should have pressure relief valves as per the updated hydraulic schematic
(Figure 1).

FIELD ACTION
Install pressure relief valves on wrist and jaw functions in addition to the existing azimuth, shoulder,
and boom function valves. It is also recommended to add cross-port check valves to the azimuth,
shoulder, and boom functions only. A check valve can be installed to the wrist function but may not
be effective due to internal leakage of the wrist motor. Do not install a check valve to the jaw function as a hydraulic failure will leave the jaw locked in place (if the jaw is clamped on structure it cannot be disengaged).

Relief valves prevent damage to
wrist motor slip ring housing

Compliance:
Mandatory*

ISSUE DATE
April 23, 2008

AFFECTED PRODUCTS
Rate-controlled Slave Arms (RigMaster, Conan 7R, Orion 4R and 7R models) and
Hydraulic Pan & Tilt Units

AFFECTED COMPONENT
All Wrist Motor Assemblies

SERVICE ISSUE
Over pressurization of the Jaw Close 5B circuit/tilt circuit inside the wrist motor may
cause the slip ring housing to fracture and allow hydraulic fluid to flow directly into
the wrist case drain (hydraulic return). Properly installed over-pressure relief valves
will prevent this from occurring.
Without relief valves, housing fractures may occur when the pressure in the cylinder exceeds 5000 psi. This typically occurs when
the jaw or tilt assembly is involved in a collision and the piston is
forced open. An typical fracture is shown at right (arrow).
Slip-ring housings manufactured after March 10, 2008 have been
strengthened in the critical area, but relief valves are still recommended.

FIELD ACTION
To prevent an over-pressure event, a relief valve must be installed on each hydraulic circuit including the jaw/tilt function (see sample RigMaster and Pan & Tilt schematics on following page). Verify
that all rate slave arms and pan & tilt units have properly positioned and adjusted over-pressure
relief valves installed for all functions.
If a circuit has an adjustable flow control valve (throttle valve), as shown in the RigMaster jaw and
Pan & Tilt tilt schematics, the relief valve must be located between the actuator and the flow control
valve.

Preventing Titan 4 Azimuth Movement When Hydraulics Are Disabled

Compliance:
Optional*

ISSUE DATE:
February 20, 2009

AFFECTED PRODUCT(S)
Titan 4 Manipulator Systems

AFFECTED COMPONENT
Azimuth actuator

SERVICE INFORMATION
The azimuth actuator of the Titan 4 slave arm can be moved when hydraulic power is
disabled and an external force is applied (including movement by the vehicle against
the slave arm mass). This movement may cause unintended contact between the slave
arm and the vehicle (or other equipment).
This is a normal condition of the azimuth actuator and does not indicate that the seals or other components require replacement. The movement is caused by hydraulic fluid that is allowed to pass
through the azimuth servo valve spool. The flow rate varies, depending on the location of the spool
when hydraulic power was turned off (with some azimuth movement possible even when the spool is
centered). Action options to prevent azimuth movement are described below.

FIELD ACTION
There are two corrective options if azimuth movement (while hydraulics are disabled)
is a problem.

Option 1
To prevent movement of the azimuth when the arm is stowed (or in any other position), leave
hydraulics to the slave arm enabled. To prevent accidental movement of the slave arm, EXIT from
any one of seven screens (OPERATE, OPTIONS, SLAVE DIAGNOSE, SET LIMITS, SET STOW, SET
OFFSET AND SHUT DOWN) to enter a menu where the slave arm is in the LOCK mode (LOCK
text in upper right-hand corner of screen). A typical screen (MAIN menu) in LOCK mode is shown in
Figure 1.

Fused Jaw Bolt May Shear at
High Velocity

Status:

SAFETY CRITICAL*

ISSUE DATE
August 26, 2009

AFFECTED PRODUCTS
All Rigmaster, Conan, and Orion slave arms and manipulator systems, Titan Manipulator Systems

AFFECTED COMPONENTS
Fuse-type jaw bolts 001-5382 and 001-5397 (based on jaw type). They have a machined
hole in the bolt head and are located as shown in Figure 1 on the following page.

BACKGROUND
A fuse-type jaw bolt was designed to shear when overloaded in order to prevent damage
to other jaw components. As noted in Service Bulletin 011-7155, the use of fuse-type bolts
was discontinued beginning in November of 2005 because field users found the shear
rate unacceptable. Because fuse-type jaw bolts are in many older spares kits and could
have been used as replacements, they may be on slave arms of any age, old or new.

SERVICE ISSUE
We have been informed that a fused jaw bolt sheared as the jaw function was being tested
on-deck. Part of the bolt was ejected from the jaw at a high velocity, narrowly missing a
crew member. This incident highlights the importance of always using PPE and staying
clear of the slave arms range of motion at all times to avoid risk of injury.

FIELD ACTION
Inspect each slave arm jaw to determine if a fuse-type bolt is used in the jaw. Fused jaw bolts have a
machined hole in the bolt head as shown in Figure 1 on the following page.
1. Slave arms that use fused jaw bolts can continued to be operated under the following conditions:

! WARNING
Use extreme caution when testing a slave arm on deck:
Move all personnel outside the slave arms range of motion when hydraulic pressure
is applied and functions are tested.
Direct the slave arm to point away from personnel and critical or sensitive areas while
testing jaw functions.
Do not stand in front of the jaw assembly while testing jaw functions.
*BULLETIN STATUS LEVELS
SAFETY CRITICAL

Field action is CRITICAL to ensure the SAFETY of personnel and must be performed IMMEDIATELY

2. If you decide to replace a fuse bolt, use the slave arm or manipulator system technical manual to
determine the part number for the existing fused jaw bolt. Then determine if a non-fused, replacement jaw bolt is available in spares:

Fused jaw bolt 001-5397 (shaft length 3.123-in.): Replace with jaw bolt 001-7520.

Fused jaw bolt 001-5382 (shaft length 2.116-in.): Replace with jaw bolt 001-7519.

Jaw bolts 001-7519 and 001-7520 can be found in many slave arm, manipulator system, and Schilling
ROV system spares kits issued since 2005.
