What does the SERVO enable switch do?

• A. It enables automatic jogging
• B. It allows the user to control SERVO power while in teach mode
• C. Turns off servo power completely
• D. Locks the teach-mode interface

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is how you manage power to the servo motors while you’re teaching the robot positions. The SERVO enable switch serves as a hands-on control that gates the servo power, allowing you to enable or disable the servo drives while you’re in teach mode. This is important for safety and control: you can have power available when you want to manually jog or adjust the arm’s pose, and you can cut power when you don’t want any movement or when you’re setting up the teach steps. It’s specifically about giving the operator the ability to control servo power during teach, rather than automatically jogging or entirely cutting power without the option to re-enable. The other options either describe jogging, turning off power completely, or locking the teach interface, which aren’t what this switch does.
