DeviceNet Gateway
(5) Wiring the emergency stop (EMG) circuit
When designing an emergency stop circuit that incorporates the emergency stop switch on the teaching
pendant connected to the Gateway Unit, emergency stop signals output from the “S1” and “S2” terminals
of the Gateway Unit can be used.
This way, all connected ROBO Cylinder controllers can be stopped instantly in case of emergency by
operating the emergency stop switch on the teaching pendant connected to the Gateway Unit.
Caution
1. For details on the emergency stop processing implemented by ROBO Cylinder controllers, refer to
the operation manual for your PCON, ACON, SCON or ERC2 controller.
