standards:
⚫
STOP0: The motor power is switched off and brakes are engaged.
⚫
STOP1: The robot comes to a controlled stop. Then the motor power is switched off
and brakes are engaged.

Operating safety
2.5.1.1
General principles
A few simple principles should be followed in order to operate the robot safely:
⚫
Always operate the robot in Manual mode if personnel are inside the safeguarded
space.
⚫
Always bring the handheld emergency stop device along when you enter the
safeguarded space so that robot control is in your hands.
⚫
Watch out for rotating or moving tools installed on the robot. Make sure those tools are
stopped before you approach the robot.
⚫
Watch out for grippers and objects gripped. If the gripper is opened, the workpiece
could fall and cause personal injury or equipment damage. The gripper can be very
powerful and can also cause injuries if not operated in a safe manner.

Recovering from emergency stops

Instructions
In the case of an emergency stop, a reset is required to return to normal operation. The reset
is a simple but important procedure. It ensures that the robot system is not returned to
production in a hazardous condition.

Emergency stop button and reset
The emergency stop button is located on the handle of the handheld emergency stop and
enabling device. It has a latching feature that must be released in order to remove the
emergency stop condition of the device. This can be done by rotating the button as marked.
