1 Safety
1.1.3 Protective stop and emergency stop
Continued
Emergency stop
The emergency stop function shall not be applied as a substitute for safeguarding
measures and other safety functions but should be designed for use as a
complementary protective measure. (See ISO 13850.)
Depending on selected options for the robot, the number of emergency stops can
vary. See documentation for the robot and the complete machine.
Other methods to stop the robot
There are also other methods to stop the robot. See:

Note
Emergency stop must not be used for protective stop or program stop as this
causes extra, unnecessary wear on the robot.
For how to perform program stops, see Operating manual - IRC5 with
FlexPendant.
