1.5 Emergency Stop

If the Manipulator moves abnormally during operation, immediately press the
Emergency Stop switch. The motor power will be turned OFF, and the arm
motion by inertia will be stopped with the electromagnetic brake and dynamic
brake.
However, avoid pressing the Emergency Stop switch unnecessarily while the
Manipulator is running normally. Otherwise, the Manipulator may hit the
peripheral equipment since the operating trajectory while the robot system stops is
different from that in normal operation.
To place the robot system in emergency mode during normal operation, press the
Emergency Stop switch when the Manipulator is not moving.
Refer to the Controller manual for instructions on how to wire the Emergency Stop
switch circuit.
Free running distance in emergency
The operating Manipulator cannot stop immediately after the Emergency Stop
switch is pressed.
Remember that the values vary depending on conditions such as the weight of the
end effector and work piece, Weight/Speed/Accel settings, operating pose, etc.
