Remote ON/OFF control

Description

Use remote ON/OFF control to turn the Control Box on and off without using the Teach Pendant. Remote control is typically used:

When the Teach Pendant is inaccessible.
When a PLC system must have full control.
When several robots must be turned on or off at the same time.

Maintaining a press and hold on the power button switches the Control Box off without saving.

Do not press and hold the ON input or the POWER button without saving.
Use the OFF input for remote OFF control to allow the Control Box to save open files and shut down correctly.

Remote Control

The remote ON/OFF control provides an auxiliary 24 V supply, which remains active when the Control Box is turned off. The ON input is intended for short-time activation only and works the same way as the POWER button. The OFF input can be held down as desired. Use a software feature to load and start programs automatically.

The electrical specifications are shown below.
