1.3 Robot stopping functions1.3.1 Protective stop and emergency stopRobot stopping functionsThe robot has protective and emergency stop functions (stop category 0 or 1, inaccordance with IEC 60204-1).As defined in IEC 60204-1, stopping by immediate removal ofpower to the machine actuators.Stop category 0As defined in IEC 60204-1, a controlled stop with power avail-able to the machine actuators to achieve the stop and then re-moval of power when the stop is achieved.Stop category 1A stop function, protective or emergency stop, has a default setting for the stopcategory, see Inputs to initiate a protective stop or an emergency stop on page 20.The default stop category for a protective or emergency stop can be re-configured.Activation of external safety rated devices, connected to the robot controller throughdedicated discrete safety inputs or safety protocols, will initiate these stop functions.Inputs to initiate a protective stop or an emergency stopStop category recon-figurable Y/NDefault stop categoryDescriptionInputs to initiate astop functionYStop category 0Input to initiate theemergency stop func-tion.
