Operating modes
A distinction is made between automatic and manual operating modes.
Automatic operating mode is the intended production mode of the plant or machine. The
safeguards (e.g. closed safety gate) are activated in automatic mode. Operation in auto-
matic operating mode is also called normal mode or productive mode.
All set up and verification work must be performed in one of the manual operating modes.
After a cold start (switch on supply voltage) the industrial robot always starts in automatic
operating mode (see

ted, the industrial robot works exclusively in automatic operating mode.
The manual operating modes must be triggered via the key switch on the teach pendant
