Remote Brake Release
The brake can be released with a signal connected to the XIO connector. This is typically used for re-
mote or automated control of the brake.
Use the ACE software to configure the robot by selecting Enable Brake Release Input. This setting will
change the XIO input 6.2 (pin 18) for use as a brake release signal from another device such as a
remote pushbutton or an output from another control device.
Additional Information
Refer to the Automation Control Environment (ACE) Version 4 User's Manual (Cat. No. I633) for
more information about the Enable Brake Release Input robot configuration item.
Precautions for Safe Use
To comply with ISO 10218-1 when using a remote brake release button, ensure the brake re-
lease button displays a warning label to indicate that the z-axis of the robot may fall due to grav-
ity if the brake is released.
