The machine cable connectors are dedicated for the controller side and robot arm
side, so take special care when connecting.
If connected incorrectly, the connector pins could bend or break. Thus, even if
connected correctly, the robot will not operate correctly, creating a dangerous
situation.
Take special care to the leading of the connection cable. If the cable is pulled with
force or bent excessively, wires could break or the connector could be damaged. In
order to prevent a breaking of cables and a damage of connectors, always use the
controller after installing the attachment cable fixation plate.
Connect the machine cable at the place without the effect of the dust or oil mist.
Please keep the dust and oil mist from being applied to of the robot-arm connector
section, in the condition that the machine cable is removed. Since it becomes the
cause of failure.
Please be careful not to catch the hand at installation and removal.
Please do not disconnect the battery cable connector. If the connector is discon -
nected, the robot origin data will be lost.
It is necessary to set the origin data again by ABS origin method. Refer to
