Connecting The Controller - IAI IX Series Operation Manual

10. Connecting the Controller

The controller connection cables are attached on the robot (standard cable: 5 m, to air-tube joint: 150 mm).
Pay attention to the following items when connecting the controller:
• Connect to the robot of the serial number specified on the robot designation label provided on the front panel
of the controller.
• Connect the cables securely after confirming that they are free from damage or bent connector pins.
• Connect each cable by aligning the indication on the marking tube on the cable with the indication on the
controller panel.
• When installing the PG connector (D-sub connector), ensure correct orientation of the connector.
• Please prepare the dedicated 24V DC power source for the brake power circuit of Horizontal Articulated
Robot since it is on the primary (high pressure) side.
Do not attempt to share the secondary circuit power sources such as I/O power source.
The brake power to be supplied to Horizontal Articulated Robot should be 24V DC ±10% and the voltage
source capacity 20W.
The brake power to be supplied to the controller should be 24V DC ±10% and the voltage source capacity 9W.
(Note) It is necessary to increase the voltage source capacity of the brake power source if brake actuators are
to be connected to the 5th and 6th axes of the controller. [Refer to the section of the voltage source
capacity and heat generation in the controller operation manual.]
Refer to the operation manuals for the controller and PC software for the procedures to connect the I/O cable,
controller power cable, PC connection cable, etc.
Warning
• Be sure to connect to the robot of the serial number specified on the front panel of the controller.
The controller will not operate properly if any other robot is connected. Failure to observe this warning may
cause the robot to malfunction, resulting in a serious accident.
• Before connecting or disconnecting a cable, always turn off the power to the controller.
Connecting/disconnecting a cable with the power supplied to the controller may cause the robot to
malfunction, resulting in a serious accident.
• Installing the connectors into the wrong sockets may cause the robot to malfunction. Be sure to check the
designation on the cable with that on the controller panel before plugging in any connector.
• If the connectors are not inserted securely, the robot may malfunction and generate the risk of danger.
Be sure to affix each connector with the supplied screws.
