Lock and change of operating mode
To prevent hazard, it is the responsibility of the integrator to make sure that keys
used to lock or change the operating mode are handled only by authorized
personnel.
An IRC5 controller with a physical key for the mode selector, is designed so that
the key fits on all IRC5 controllers, unless unique keys are ordered.
Safety actuators not in use
Devices with safety actuators that are not connected to the robot or robot system
must be stored out of reach and sight so that they cannot be mistaken for being
connected.
Unexpected movement of robot arm
A robot may perform unexpected limited movement.
