robot operation sets the
robot to emergency stop.
These are B contact type
switches.

converter cable (See P.475.)
RPB-E Rear side
This switch is usable as part of an external (remote)
safety circuit.
Pressing this switch inwards or releasing it cuts off the
(RPB/robot) circuit. However that circuit is operable
when this switch is in middle position.
This enable switch is usually operable in service
mode. It functions as part of an external safety
circuit so that releasing the enable switch or
pressing it inwards set the robot to emergency stop.
3-position enable switch (only on RPB-E)
