      EPSON: Recovering from an unresponsive robot after loading the ForgeOS driver

      If a port fails to configure when you load the Forge/OS driver, you may lose all connection to the robot when you reboot.

      To shut down an unresponsive driver, set IO23 (pin 27) to HIGH by making these connections:

      • 0V to Pin 14 (Input common)

      • 24V to Pin 27 (Input No. 23)

        To check if IO23 is set to HIGH, open the I/O Monitor from the Tools menu. In the pop-up, select All Inputs. Check if there's a red dot next to input 23.

      While IO23 is set to HIGH, restart the robot. This setting prevents the driver from launching when the robot powers up, allowing you to reconfigure the robot. The Runtime Controls window reads "Kill switch enabled, disable to start driver" until you set IO23 back to LOW (turning the red dot off).

      For more information on pin assignments, refer to EPSON documentation.
