Emergency stop devices
In a manipulator system there are several emergency stop devices that can be
operated in order to achieve an emergency stop. There are emergency stop buttons
available on the FlexPendant and on the controller cabinet (on the Control Module
on a Dual Cabinet Controller). There can also be other types of emergency stops
on your manipulator. Consult your plant or cell documentation to see how your
manipulator system is configured.
