Emergency Stop Switch
When adding an external Emergency Stop switch in addition to the Emergency Stop on the Teach Pendant, be sure to connect the Emergency Stop switch to the Emergency Stop input terminal on the EMERGENCY connector.
Use an emergency stop switch that satisfies the following conditions and complies with the relevant safety standards (such as IEC 60947-5-5).
- Normally closed pushbutton switch
- Switch that cannot reset automatically
- Red mushroom type switch
- Switch with two form B contacts
KEY POINTS
Two circuits are available for the emergency stop input. If the signals at the two circuits differ by two seconds or more, the system recognizes it as a critical error that was caused by some kind of abnormality in the emergency stop circuit.
Therefore, make sure that the Emergency Stop switch has double contacts and refer to the following for details.
