rate, scan rate, number of tasks, communication error, etc. EPSON RC+ does not
guarantee the real-time response for the fieldbus I/O and message inputs. When the
fastest and most consistent response times are required, please use EPSON Standard
digital I/O, which incorporates interrupt driven inputs and outputs.

3.2 Outputs Off by Emergency Stop and Reset Instruction

You can configure the system so that all outputs including the fieldbus outputs will be
turned OFF when the emergency stop occurs and when a Reset instruction is executed.
For details of the configuration, refer to the EPSON RC+ User's Guide.
NOTE
A command that was issued just before an emergency stop can be executed after the

emergency stop condition is cleared. If the outputs from the fieldbus involve risk, the
"Outputs off during Emergency Stop" option should be enabled to remove all power to
output devices when an emergency stop occurs.
