Robot Cable Connection
The robot cable is pre-connected to the XC series robot. For details on
connections to the robot controller, refer to Fig. 3-8 and the "OMRON Robot
Controller User's Manual". After making connections, check the operation
while referring to "6 Trial operation" in Chapter 1.
WARNING
• BEFORE CONNECTING THE CABLES, CHECK THAT THERE ARE NO
BENDS OR BREAKS IN THE CONNECTOR PINS OF THE ROBOT CABLE
AND THAT THE CABLES ARE NOT DAMAGED. BENT OR BROKEN PINS
OR CABLE DAMAGE MAY CAUSE MALFUNCTION OF THE ROBOT.
• ENSURE THAT THE CONTROLLER IS OFF BEFORE CONNECTING THE
ROBOT CABLE TO THE CONTROLLER.
WARNING
IN THE YRC CONTROLLER, THE MOTOR CONNECTORS XM AND ZM,
AND YM AND RM EACH HAVE IDENTICAL SHAPES. IN ADDITION, THE
PI CONNECTORS XY AND ZR HAVE IDENTICAL SHAPES. DO NOT
CONFUSE THESE CONNECTORS WHEN MAKING CONNECTIONS.
WRONG CONNECTIONS MAY RESULT IN MALFUNCTION AND
HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS.
WARNING
• IF THE CONNECTOR INSTALLATION IS INADEQUATE OR IF THERE
ARE CONTACT FAILURES IN THE PINS, THE ROBOT MAY
MALFUNCTION CAUSING A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. RECONFIRM
THAT EACH CONNECTOR IS SECURELY INSTALLED BEFORE TURNING
ON THE CONTROLLER.
• TO ATTACH THE PI CONNECTOR SECURELY, TIGHTEN THE SCREWS
SUPPLIED WITH THE ROBOT.
• TAKE CAUTION NOT TO APPLY AN EXCESSIVE LOAD TO THE
CONNECTORS DUE TO STRESS OR TENSION ON THE CABLES.
WARNING
LAY OUT THE CABLES SO THAT THEY DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE
MOVEMENT OF THE MANIPULATOR. DETERMINE THE ROBOT WORK
AREA IN WHICH THE ROBOT CABLES WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH
THE LOAD OR WORKPIECE PICKED UP BY THE MANIPULATOR. IF THE
ROBOT CABLES INTERFERE WITH THE MOVABLE PARTS OF THE
ROBOT, THE CABLES MAY BE DAMAGED CAUSING MALFUNCTION
AND HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS. FOR THE EXTERNAL VIEW AND
DIMENSIONS OF EACH ROBOT, REFER TO THE DIMENSIONAL
OUTLINES LISTED IN OUR ROBOT CATALOG.
