Stopping The System - ABB FlexLoader Vision Product Manual

6.3 Stopping the system

To stop the system, click Stop in FlexLoader Vision. If the robot is in Auto mode,
it will also be stopped. Note that clicking Stop does not make the robot stop
immediately. Instead it will stop at the end of its cycle or after a certain time. To
stop the robot immediately, you must use the stop button on the robot or, if an
emergency situation has arisen, use the emergency stop.
If FlexLoader Vision is configured so that the robot should control the stop situation,
the stop button behaves differently. In this case FlexLoader Vision does not actively
stop the robot when the operator clicks Stop. Instead, only DOF_EndCycle is sent
to the robot, whereupon FlexLoader Vision awaits the robot to call the procedure
StopFlexLoader Vision which in turn will stop everything as usual (as described
above).
In case the user clicks Stop in FlexLoader Vision again, while FlexLoader Vision
is awaiting the call to StopFlexLoader Vision, FlexLoader Vision will enforce a
stop. This means that FlexLoader Vision will no longer be waiting for the robot, but
will instead stop as usual (as in the case where FlexLoader Vision is configured
to control the robot stop).
Letting the robot control the stop situation is, for example, useful when running
special cycles that cannot be stopped in the middle of operation. In this case, the
robot normally knows when a stop is appropriate.
If FlexLoader Vision is used with a FlexLoader FP 400, the FP 400 will also stop.
If FlexLoader Vision is used with a user-defined PLC, a stop signal can be defined
that will be sent to the user-defined PLC.
