    Abstract: A method of controlling an industrial robot, including a robot controller, a programming interface, which is separate from the robot controller, and a robot manipulator with a plurality of actuators. The method includes: receiving a first release signal via a first safe input means; receiving actuator-selection data, which indicates one or more of the actuators, via an arbitrary input means at the programming interface; receiving a second release signal via a second safe input means at the programming interface after having received the actuator-selection data; and, in response to determining that the first and second release signals are still received, causing the actuators indicated by the actuator-selection data to enter a movement-without-drive-power mode.
