Hi, I have a set up that controls an ABB IRB 120 (with IRC5 controller) from a PC through PC SDK. I am curious does the ABB robot have any safety mechanism to detect that the Ethernet connection with PC is lost, and immediately stops the robot movement on that event? Thanks!
Emergency stop when Ethernet connection with PC is lost?

So is the connection set up like an IO unit? Probably not, I am guessing. But with IO units, you can set a trust level for what to do when comms are lost, like SYSHALT, for example.
