Thank you very much for the information, but I seriously don’t see the hazard.

Because:

1. there isn’t a Teach Pendant connected
2. if the user would connect a Teach Pendant while a program is active, the robot would go into Fault and stay that way, because the Safety configuration doesn’t correspond with the hardware configuration. For the robot to work without Teach Pendant, the safety installation has to configured previously (Hardware \> Teach Pendant → None).

I think this is a feature that should be included in future releases, at least when working with a Teach Pendant Free setup.
