Precautions for Axis Operation with Wireless Connection
Touch Panel Teaching Pendant TB-03 (V2.30 or later) can operate the option model code -WL2
ELECYLINDER with wireless connection. For operation with wireless connection, secure safety by
following the precautions below before use.
• The stop switch on Touch Panel Teaching Pendant TB-03 will not function during wireless
connection. Prepare a device / circuit to stop the operation when emergency stop is required.
• For axis operation with wireless connection, operation testing (movement to forward and
backward ends, jog operation, inching operation) is possible, but the control device is not
designed for purposes of automatic operation. Construct a mechanical system based on the risks
of the operating environment.
• Carry out risk assessment based on the standard/spec requirements of the machinery for
installation. Dangerous operation, such as that requiring an automatic stop when control signals
cannot be received (including disabled communication) is not acceptable.
• Stopping axis operation by wireless network cannot be used as a safety feature as defined in EN
ISO 13849-1: 2015. It is also not compliant with Safety Category B or Categories 1 to 4 stated in
EN ISO 13849-1: 2015.
