What happens when you press the ABORT (ALL) key?

• A. It aborts all operations and resets to a safe state.
• B. It saves the current program and continues
• C. It loads the last program
• D. It disables safety limits

Answer: (A)

When you press ABORT ALL, you trigger a safety-focused emergency-like stop that immediately halts all robot motion and the active program, and leaves the controller in a safe state. This means any ongoing actions stop, the current task ends, and alarms or fault states are cleared so the system isn’t in motion or executing code. It’s designed for immediate protection, not for normal workflow.

After using ABORT ALL, you typically need to perform a RESET to re-enable the system and proceed with another task (such as loading a program or re-homing). This is why the option described as aborting everything and resetting to a safe state is the correct description. The other options describe actions that don’t align with the safety-focused stop behavior: saving a program and continuing, loading the last program, or disabling safety limits are not what ABORT ALL does.
