Functions 11. EMERGENCY
134 RC700 Series Rev.3
11.1.2 Latch Release Switch
The Controller software latches these conditions:
- The safety door is open.
- The operation mode is set to “TEACH”.
The EMERGENCY connector has an input terminal for a latch release switch that cancels
the latched conditions.
Open : The latch release switch latches conditions that the safety door is open or the
operation mode is “TEACH”.
Closed : The latch release switch releases the latched conditions.
When the latched TEACH mode is released while the safety door is open, the status of
Manipulator power is operation-prohibited because the safety door is open at that time.
To execute a Manipulator operation, close the safety door again, and then close the latch
release input.
11.1.3 Checking Latch Release Switch Operation
After connecting the safety door switch and latch release switch to the EMERGENCY
connector, be sure to check the switch operation for safety by following the procedures
described below before operating the Manipulator.
(1) Turn ON the Controller while the safety door is open in order to boot the Controller
software.
(2) Make sure that “Safety” is displayed on the main window status bar.
(3) Close the safety door, and turn ON the switch connecting to the latch release input.
Make sure that the “Safety” is dimmed on the status bar.
The information that the safety door is open can be latched by software based on the latch
release input condition. To cancel the condition, close the safety door, and then close the
safety door latch release input.
Open : The latch release switch latches the condition that the safety door is open.
Closed : The latch release switch does not latch the condition that the safety door is open.
The latch release input also functions to acknowledge the change of to TEACH mode.

on the Teach Pendant to “Auto”. Then, close the latch release input.
