The Teach Pendant is a hand-held robot control terminal that provides a
convenient means to move the robot, teach locations, and run robot
programs. It features a four-line 20-character LCD display, a 45-key keypad,
a live-man switch, and an emergency stop (e-stop) button.
The teach pendant is a useful tool, allowing you to move away from the host
computer terminal and control the robot locally. Typically a robot application
is programmed with teachable variables using the RAPL programming
language. Once the application is setup, it is convenient to use the teach
pendant to teach the locations for the application.
