WARNING
• For information about the status of the network system and robot controller in the event that a communication
problem occurs in the network system, refer to the manual of the host control device as well as to this
document. Configure an interlock circuit in the sequence program so that the system, including the robot
controller, will work safely WITH using the communication status information.
