Power Control

These commands are used to switch Power Mode to high or low and display the current status.

mode	Description
Low	When Power is set to Low, Low Power Mode is On. This means that the manipulator runs slow (below 250 mm/sec) and the servo stiffness is set light so as to remove servo power if the robot bumps into an object.
High	When Power is set to High, Low Power Mode is Off. This means that the manipulator runs at full speed with the full servo stiffness.

The following operations switch the mode to low power mode. In this case, speed and acceleration settings will be limited to default values. For details of the default values, refer to the specification in each manipulator manual.

Refer to the following.
