Data Entry Buttons
The data entry buttons are used to input data, normally in response to prompts that
appear on the pendant display. The data entry buttons include, +/YES, –/NO, DEL, the
numeric buttons (0-9), the decimal point, and the REC/DONE button. These buttons are
similar to the numeric keypad on a standard keyboard.
REC/DONE Button – behaves like the Return or Enter key on a standard keyboard. When
data entry is complete, pressing REC/DONE sends the entry to the controller. In many
cases, applications programs have users press the REC/DONE button to signal that they
have completed a task.
DEL Button – acts like the backspace key on a standard keyboard. When data is being
entered, it will appear on the pendant display. DEL will delete any characters that appear
on the pendant display, but have not been entered using the REC/DONE button.
Applications programs may also assign special functions to the DEL button.

Mode Control and Joint/Axis Control Buttons
The mode control and joint/axis control buttons are used to control the robot from the
pendant. The use of these buttons is covered in section D.3.
Speed Bars and Slow Button
The speed bars and slow button are used primarily to move the robot when it is in manual
mode. These options are described in section D.3.
In some cases, application programs will make special use of the speed bars. See the
documentation for the application program for details on how it uses these buttons.
Emergency Stop From the MCP
To immediately halt program execution and turn off High Power, press the emergency
stop button on the MCP. This switch has the same effect as pressing the emergency stop
button on the controller.
If you are using the operator’s pendant, you may also release the Hold-to-Run switch to
halt program execution and turn off High Power.
