Function of the MOTORS ON/MOTORS OFF circuit
The circuit monitors all safety related equipment and switches. If any of the switches is
opened, the MOTORS ON/MOTORS OFF circuit switches the power to the motors off.
As long as the two chains not are in an identical state, the robot will remain in MOTORS OFF
mode.
