workcell whenever equipment power is present.
Adept Technology highly recommends the use of workcell safety features
such as light curtains, safety gates, or safety floor mats to prevent access
to the workcell while power is present. Adept Controller systems have
various control features which may aid the user in constructing system
safeguards, including:
• Emergency stop circuitry
• Binary input and output lines
The emergency power-off circuitry in the controller is capable of
switching external power systems, as well as detecting intrusion signals
from safety barriers.
