The emergency stop button is intended for halting robot movement
in an emergency only. Over use of the emergency stop - particularly
when the robot is moving - is likely to significantly reduce the life of
the robot actuators leading to premature failure. Follow the shut
down procedures in the Technical Reference Manual for further
guidance.
Connector and pinout information for the emergency stop port can
be found in the Technical Reference Manual.
Protective Stop
Eva is also supplied with a Stop Category 0 protective interface and
loopback connector. This operates in the same way as the
emergency stop function, but is intended for everyday use, rather
than only for emergency situations. The loopback connector must be
connected whenever the port is not in use, in order to complete both
channels of the protective stop safety circuits.
