How are brakes manually released on the FS100 controlled robot?

The correct method for manually releasing the brakes on the FS100 controlled robot involves connecting the CN210 connector and utilizing the programming pendant. This approach is designed to ensure safety and functionality, as the programming pendant provides the necessary interface for operators to manage robot settings and commands in a controlled environment.

Using the CN210 connector allows for a direct communication line between the robot's control system and the operator's interface. This connection is critical, as it ensures that commands are sent accurately and that the operations can be monitored. The programming pendant typically includes various functionalities, including safety features, programming capabilities, and manual control, making it an effective tool for releasing the brakes safely and efficiently.

Other methods, while they may seem plausible, do not offer the same level of safe operation or control. For instance, removing the power supply might stop the robot but does not provide a systematic way to engage or disengage brakes. Pressing a physical release button could lead to accidental activation or disengagement if not properly monitored. Software commands may seem convenient but are not designed for direct manual intervention in situations requiring quick action or physical checks.

By utilizing the programming pendant in conjunction with the CN210 connector, operators are ensured a reliable method that aligns with safe operational protocols established for robotics,
