Connecting Controllers and Manipulators
A power cable and signal cable are used to connect the Controller to the Manipulator.
WARNING
- Before connecting or disconnecting cables, be sure to turn off the Controller and unplug the power cable. Connecting or disconnecting cables while the power is on may result in an electric shock or malfunction.
- Be sure to connect the cables properly. Also, protect cables by using strong cable covers, and do not place heavy objects on the cables, bend them to extreme angles, pull them forcibly, or allow them to get pinched. Damaged cables, broken wires, or contact failure is extremely hazardous and may result in electric shock and/or malfunction of the robot system.
CAUTION
- The serial number of the supported Manipulator is labeled on the Controller. Check that the serial number matches for each device. Improper connection between the Manipulator and the Controller may not only lead to malfunction of the robot system but also safety problems.
- When connecting the Manipulator and the Controller, check that the serial numbers match for each device. Improper connection between the Manipulator and the Controller may not only lead to malfunction of the robot system but also serious safety problems. The connection method between the Manipulator and the Controller varies depending on the Controller.
The Manipulator model and various setting values are stored in the Controller. For this reason, connection must be performed to the Manipulator with the serial number indicated on the serial number label on the front face of the Controller.
KEY POINTS
The serial number of the Manipulator is shown on the Manipulator's face plate. For details, refer to the following manual.
