The following diagrams outline the system structure for AC operation as well as the
fundamental structure of the drive unit.

3.4 Overload protection
PTC resistance is built into the robot motors to provide thermal protection against over-
loads. The PTC sensors are connected to an input on the panel unit which is sensitive
to resistance level and which check that low resistance is maintained.
The robot computer checks the motors for overloading at regular intervals by reading
the panel unit register. In the event of an overload, all motors are switched off.
