Which statement about jogging the robot is correct?

• A. Jogging can be performed without SERVO power
• B. AREA key must be pressed to jog
• C. Jogging is allowed only after ENTER
• D. SERVO power must be applied to jog

Answer: (D)

Jogging a robot means manually moving the joints using the control interface to position the arm. This requires energizing the servo drives so they can produce torque and control the motion. If servo power is not applied, the motor amplifiers are not energized, the joints won’t move (or are held by brakes), and jog motion isn’t possible. That’s why the statement that servo power must be applied to jog is the correct one.

Other gate steps like pressing AREA or entering a command before jogging aren’t universal prerequisites across all systems; the essential requirement is having servo power on, after which the controller will allow jog commands in a safe, enabled state.
