When the robot is in Emergency stop, the status lights of the robot turn red, and you are not
able to move the robot or send it on missions until you bring the robot out of the Emergency
stop. To do this, you must release the Emergency stop button and then press the Resume
button.The Resume button begins flashing blue after you have released the Emergency stop
button. If the robot is in Emergency stop, it will immediately resume an operating state after
you press the flashing Resume button.
Figure 10.1. MiR250 has one Emergency stop button that must be connected through the electrical interface.
You can also connect the interface to a series of additional Emergency stop buttons.
CAUTION
Emergency stop buttons are not designed for frequent use. If a button has
been used too many times, it may fail to stop the robot in an emergency
situation, and nearby personnel may be injured by electrical hazards or
collision with moving parts.
• Only press Emergency stop buttons in emergencies.
• Regularly check that all Emergency stop buttons are fully functional—see
Maintenance on page184.
• Use the robot interface to stop the robot in non-emergency situations.
Manual stop
The robot enters Manual stop when the red Stop button in the control panel is pressed.
Manual stop brings the robot into the same state as a Protective stop where it can only be
brought to an operational state by pressing the Resume button.
