Robot controls usually have 3 groupes of operating modes:

• Set up operation
  The set up operation is used for programming and to move the robot by manual commands, e.g. operating the robot after a malfunction.

• Test operation
  In the test operation it is possible to check the programs or program parts in single steps or in a mode similar to the automatic drive.

• Automatic operation
  The automatic operation is only used for production process applications. In this mode all programs run with original speed and all the functions.
