7. CIRCUITS FOR MINOR AUTOMATION
ROUTINES: MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
FOR INTEGRATION
This chapter deals with the following topics:
– Precautions before starting
– Equipment and tools required
– Selecting the 24 Vdc power supply source
– Digital I/O on SDM module
– RS232 / RS422 serial communication
7.1 Precautions before starting
The robot system (consisting of Robot and Control Unit) shall be operated in an
industrial environment by a qualified staff member that is acquainted with the
requirements related to the integration of a Robot in a complete machine, in compliance
with the basic safety prescriptions listed in the machine Directive.
For the sake of convenience, the qualified staff member that will carry out the activities
described here will be referred to as the “integrator”.
This chapter describes the minimum activities that the integrator shall perform to
implement minor automation routines using the Control Unit.
7.2 Equipment and tools required
– Ordinary electromechanical equipment
– In case of Digital I/O on SDM module, movable connectors for the SDM module
(purchase option C5G-UCK: user connector kit, for SDM module)
– In case of RS232 / RS422 serial communication, female 9-pin tray-type movable
connector, supplied with cap (to be purchased independently)
For other applications (arc welding, spot welding, handling, etc.), please refer to
the specific instruction manuals.
