- power-on lights
- lighted power switch, covered or lockout-capable in off position
- beepers and lights on axis movement

- bumper stops on moving vehicles
- object detection in movement direction, auto slowdown
- switches/fuses/circuit breakers for circuit isolation and disabling motion control while leaving CPU and human machine interface (HMI) active
- ring terminals and hot wires on female side of connectors.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What role do power-on lights play in safety?
- What are cover pinch points?
- Why should motion control be disabled when CPU and HMI are active?
