    The platform’s emergency stop system was integrated into the arm’s safety system as external machine. Technical details on this connection can be found in the electrical circuit diagram of the MMO-500 and in the operating manual of the robot arm. In case the arm is to be operated separately this connection has to be bridged with the Harting connector that was included in delivery.
