If a robot is not at Home, what will occur if the AT HOME check is enabled?

• A. The robot will continue to run
• B. It will issue an alarm
• C. The production program will not run
• D. The controller will automatically adjust

Answer: (C)

When the AT HOME check is enabled, it serves to ensure that the robot's current position is the defined home position before the production program can proceed. If the robot is not at home, the system will recognize that the robot is in an incorrect state for executing the tasks associated with the production program. Consequently, the robot will not engage in any operations, thereby preventing potential errors or malfunctions that could arise from executing programs while the robot is not in its designated home position. This safety feature helps maintain operational integrity and workflow efficiency by ensuring that all required preconditions are met before the program starts.
