Connecting the Robot to the Power Chassis
The 8-meter cable between the robot and power chassis is called the Motor Power cable. It
is permanently attached at the robot, and has two square connectors on the power chassis
end. This cable carries high-voltage DC power to the motors. This independent DC circuit
can only be isolated using the circuit breaker on the front of the Adept PA-4 power chassis.
See Figure 2-10.
WARNING: Turn off the power to the power chassis before installing or
removing any cables. Failure to observe this warning could cause injury
or damage to your equipment.
Do not turn on the power chassis without installing the motor power
cables. Dangerous AC and DC voltages may be present at the "Motor
Power Output" connectors on the amplifier modules.
