Remote ON/OFF Control

Description

Use remote ON/OFF control to turn the Control Box on and off without using the Teach Pendant. It 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.

Remote Control

The remote ON/OFF control provides a auxiliary 12V supply, kept active when the Control Box is turned off. The ON input is intended only for short time activation and works in 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 (see part Part II Software Manual).

The electrical specifications are shown below.

Terminals	Parameter	Min	Typ	Max	Unit
`[12V - GND]`	Voltage	10	12	13	V
`[12V - GND]`	Current	-	-	100	mA
`[ON / OFF]`	Inactive voltage	0	-	0.5	V
`[ON / OFF]`	Active voltage	5	-	12	V
`[ON / OFF]`	Input current	-	1	-	mA
`[ON]`	Activation time	200	-	600	ms

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.
