Abstract

Operator pendant (150) for an industrial robot (100) with a robot manipulator (110) and a robot controller (120), comprising a base unit (160) and a movable unit (170). The base unit comprises: a cable interface (161) for connecting a communication cable (180) towards the robot controller; an emergency stop switch (162) operable to transmit an emergency stop instruction to the robot controller; a robot-motion enabling device (163); a wireless interface (164); and a ranging device (165). The movable unit comprises: a wireless interface (171) configured to maintain a wireless communication link (191) with the base unit during operation; and an operator interface (173), which is operable to enable a set of safety-relevant input elements (174). The ranging device of the base unit is configured to determine whether the movable unit is in proximity of the base unit, and the operator interface enables the set of safety-relevant input elements only while the movable unit is in proximity.
