It is often desirable to wire a hardware Emergency Stop Button to the controller. This button may be wired in series with other emergency stop contacts. The E-stop signals are available in the Remote Front Panel 25-pin DSub connector that is mounted on the X-axis Facilities Panel. See the Hardware Reference section for detailed information on the Remote Front Panel signals.
PreciseFlex sells an emergency stop button in a plastic enclosure. This E-Stop Box comes with a cable and connector that directly plugs into the Remote Front Panel connector. Alternately, users can purchase a PreciseFlex Manual Control Pendant. The Pendant has an integrated E-Stop button and provides a convenient means for manually jogging the robot via a portable hand-held device.
