Overview of this manual
About this manual
This manual contains information for emergency situations in the robot.
Note
Before any work on or with the robot is performed, the safety information in the
product manual for the controller and manipulator must be read.
Note
This manual must always be stored together with the robot!
This manual must always be easy to access for an operator, service engineer,
or anyone using or working with the robot.
Note
It is the responsibility of the integrator to provide safety and user guides for the
robot system.
Prerequisites
Maintenance/repair/installation personnel working with an ABB Robot must:
• be trained by ABB and have the required knowledge of mechanical and
electrical installation/repair/maintenance work.
• read the user documentation before performing any installation or service
work on the robot.

1 Emergency safety information
1.1 Stopping the robot and switching off the power
Emergency stop buttons
Press any of the emergency stop buttons immediately if a person is at risk in the
working area of the robot, or if the robot causes harm to equipment.
There can be more than one emergency stop button depending on the cell design.
Main switch
The controller has one main power switch, usually located on the front.
Note
Your plant or cell may have additional equipment that may also need to be
disconnected from the power. See your plant or cell documentation where these
switches are placed.
Each connected drive module, or other connected modules such as a spotwelding
cabinet, has its own main power switch. On other types of cabinets, the power
switch is often placed top left on the front of the cabinet.
WARNING
It is only the main switch on the drive module that will switch off the power to
the entire system in a MultiMove system (control module and drive module) if
the power supply to the control module comes from the drive module.
Recovering from emergency stop
Make sure the hazardous situation that resulted in the emergency stop condition
no longer exists before resetting the emergency stop button.
All push-button style emergency stop buttons have a latching feature that must be
released in order to remove the emergency stop condition.
All automatic emergency stop devices also have some kind of latching feature that
must be released. See your plant or cell documentation.

1.1 Stopping the robot and switching off the power

1.2 Releasing a person trapped by the robot axes
Overview
Make sure that any attempt to release a person trapped by the robot axes does
not further increase the risk of injury.
Releasing the robot holding brakes will make it possible to move the robot manually,
but only small robots are light enough to be moved by human force. Moving larger
robots may require using an overhead crane or similar. Make sure that the right
equipment is available before releasing the brakes.
WARNING
Before releasing the brakes, make sure that the weight of the arms does not
increase the pressure on the trapped person, further increasing any injury.
Releasing a person trapped by the robot axes
Use this procedure to release a person trapped by the robot arm.
Info/illustrationAction
Press any of the emergency stop buttons.1
DANGER
When releasing the holding brakes, the
robot axes may move very quickly and
sometimes in unexpected ways.
Make sure that the weight of the arm does
not increase the pressure on the trapped
person, further increasing any injury.
2
The brake release unit is placed in the ro-
bot frame or base, or on the robot control-
ler. Depending on the robot model, the
placing can vary slightly. The brake release
unit is protected with a plate or clamp.
Locate the brake release unit.3
Release the holding brake on a particular
robot axis by pressing and holding the
corresponding button on the internal brake
release panel.
4
The brake will function again as soon as
the button is released.
Move the robot so that the trapped person
is released.
5
Help the trapped person and make sure
he/she gets medical attention.
6
Make sure the robot cell is cleared so that
no one else runs the risks of being injured.

The IRB 120 robot has no brake release button, instead use the brake release
button on the IRC5 Compact controller. For other controller variants, the placing
depends on the design of the cell.
