20.1. Operational Modes
Operational Modes are enabled when you configure a Three-Position Enabling Device, set a
password, define an Operational Mode Configurable I/O, or via the Dasboard Server (seeUsing the
Dashboard Serveron page117).
Automatic Mode Once activated, the robot can only perform pre-defined tasks. The Move Tab and
Freedrive Mode are unavailable if a Three-Position Enabling Device is configured. You cannot
modify or save programs and installations.
WARNING
Automatic Mode Safeguard Stop can only be activated in Automatic Mode, so the
safeguard’s protective function is only active in Automatic Mode.
Manual Mode Once activated, you can program the robot using the Move Tab, Freedrive Mode and
Speed Slider. You can modify and save programs and installations.

attached before the robot is used.
