Limitations for messages on the FlexPendant
When using the hot plug option, the following limitations apply to messages on
the FlexPendant:
Operator messages
Some applications may require input from the operator by using the FlexPendant
(e.g. applications using RAPID instructions TPReadNum, UIMsgBox, etc.). If the
application encounters such an operator message, program execution will wait.
After connecting the FlexPendant you must then stop and start the program
execution to be able to see and respond to these messages. They are not displayed
automatically by just connecting the FlexPendant.
If possible, avoid using these types of instructions when programming systems
that are using the hot plug button option.

Action
Keep pressing the hot plug button and at
the same time, switch the jumper plug with
the FlexPendant plug.
Release the hot plug button.
Note
When the FlexPendant is disconnected, the jumper plug must be connected in
its place.
Note
If the hot plug button is released while neither the jumper plug, nor the
FlexPendant is connected, the robot movements will be stopped since the
emergency stop chains are opened.
