Safety Setting Function Description
Configure Teach Restrict The objective of the Teach Restrict feature is to comply with safety regulations
which require that the speed to be limited while the robot is in Manual mode.
This is hardware-based safety functionality to prevent rapid robot motion in
Manual mode even in the unexpected event of software error attempting to
drive a robot faster than allowed. While jogging the robot in Manual mode, if
any joint exceeds its configured speed limit, the system will disable High Pow-
er.
Configuration will set predetermined speed limits for each robot motor.
Verification will verify that Teach Restrict operations are functioning properly in
