Setting Up The Flextrack Limit Switch For Additional Safety - ABB FlexTrack IRT501 Series Product Manual

2.11 Setting up the FlexTrack limit switch for additional safety

Option 1 - Wiring the limit switch into the safety link of the IRC5
Operating principle
When the limit switch is triggered, it will open a circuit that is constantly monitored
by the robot controller. As soon as this open circuit is detected, the IRC safety
chain is opened and the drive module turns off the motors immediately stopping
all motion. At the same time Error 20209 - External Contactor Open is generated
on the FlexPendant.
