13.3. Modes
Description You access and activate different modes using Teach Pendant or the Dashboard Server.
If an external mode selector is integrated, it control the modes - not PolyScope or the
Dashboard Server.
Automatic Mode Once activated, the robot can only execute a program of pre-defined
tasks. You cannot modify or save programs and installations.
Manual Mode Once activated, you can program the robot. You can modify and save
programs and installations.
The speeds used in Manual Mode must be limited to prevent injury. When the robot is
operating in Manual Mode, a person could be positioned within reach of the robot. The
speed must be limited to the value that is appropriate for the application risk assessment.
WARNING
Injury can occur if the speed used, while the robot is operating in
Manual Mode, is too high.
High Speed Manual Mode can be used. It allows both tool speed and elbow speed to
temporarily exceed 250 mm/s, while a hold-to-run is used.
Hold-to-run is performed by continuous contact with the Speed Slider.
The robot performs a Safeguard Stop in Manual mode, if a Three-Position Enabling
Device is configured, and either released (not pressed) or it is fully compressed.
Switching between Automatic mode to Manual mode requires the Three-Position
Enabling Device to be fully released and pressed again to allow the robot to move.
When using High Speed Manual Mode, use safety joint limits or safety planes to restrict
the robot’s moving space.
