A safety-rated monitored stop is a safety function that instantly stops all robot motion when a safety device is triggered and keeps the robot in a safe, non-moving state until a deliberate, safety-approved restart is performed after the area has been checked and cleared. This guarantees that no unexpected movement occurs while someone verifies that the workspace is safe, and it requires a restart through safety-rated logic so the system cannot resume automatically. In a robot cell, this is used during hazardous events (like a gate opening or a light curtain being interrupted) to pause operations and preserve safety until the area is confirmed safe and a proper restart sequence is carried out. The other options describe behaviors that either continue motion, reset automatically, or allow easy override, which do not provide the verified stop-and-wait safety this function ensures.
