Fanuc eStop status

  • Hello,


    how can I check eStop status of robot? I want to use it in bg logic to turn off pneumatic valve.


    Is there a place this information can be found normally? I have access to Fanuc manuals, but have no idea in which to look for this. I also need the same information for fence open and running in auto mode, dead man switch and stuff like that.


    I can't use just "Alarm" status on UOP since I need it working to solve some of the problems

    If my posts are dumb please tell me so I can post better ones :smiling_face:

  • Depending on what you are doing, a safety relay might be warranted, but if it is something like a glue gun, I don't think one would be needed.


    Regarding the deadman, fence status, and other robot safety statuses, you can interconnect those to DOs via the interconnect menu under IO->F1 |TYPE|-> 9 Interconnect-> F3 [SELECT]-> 5 ES->DO
