The term commissioning refers to the operations involved in verifying system operation once the
system has been installed.
2.6 Operation during Programming
Operating mode under operator control. This mode excludes automatic operation and permits the

at reduced speed, programmed cycle testing at reduced speed and when permitted, at working
speed.
2.7 Automatic Operation
Operating mode in which the robot performs the programmed cycle autonomously at working
speed inside the protected area, with protective barriers closed and interlocked with the emer
-
gency stop circuit, and with local (situated outside the protected area)or remote start/stop.
