Remote On/Off Control - Universal Robots UR3/CB3 User Manual

5.3.7 Remote ON/OFF control

Remote ON/OFF control can be used to turn the control box on and off without using
the teach pendant. It is typically used in the following applications:
The remote ON/OFF control provides a small auxiliary 12V supply, which is kept
active when the controller box is turned off. The "on" and "off" inputs are intended
for short time activation only. The "on" input works in the same way as the power
button. Always use the "off" input for remote "off" control as this signal allows the
control box to save open files and shut down correctly.
The electrical specifications are shown below.
The following examples show how to use remote ON/OFF.
