Sharing the
Emergency
Stop with other
machines
You can set up a shared emergency stop function between the robot and other machines
by configuring the following I/O functions via the GUI. The Robot Emergency Stop Input
cannot be used for sharing purposes. If more than two UR robots or other machines need
to be connected, a safety PLC must be used to control the emergency stop signals.
•
Configurable input pair: External Emergency Stop.
•
Configurable output pair: System Stop.
The illustration below shows how two UR robots share their emergency stop functions. In
this example the configured I/Os used are CI0-CI1 and CO0-CO1.

Safeguard

resume
This configuration is only intended for applications where the operator cannot go through
the door and close it behind him. The configurable I/O is used to setup a reset button
outside the door to reactivate robot motion. The robot resumes movement automatically
when the signal is re-established.
WARNING
Do not use this configuration if signal can be re-established from the
inside of the safety perimeter.

In this example a door switch is a basic
safeguard device where the robot is
stopped when the door is opened.
In this example a safety mat is a safety device
where automatic resume is appropriate. This
example is also valid for a safety laser scanner.
