Cautions in handling and using the SMT7 controller
NOTES (1) If joint allocations are different between the SMT7 controller and
WINCAPSIII, transferring the arm data from WINCAPSIII to the controller
may cause an error. If it happens, clear the error and transfer the data again.
(2) The SMT7 controller is customized for motors specified by each customer
in both hardware and software at the factory. The allowable combination of
the controller's axes and motor types is printed in (2) SUBASSEMBLY on the
"THE SETPRM LIST" labeled on the top of the controller.
According to the allowable combination, connect motors to the controller
correctly. Incorrect connection will result in a motor malfunction, controller
overheat, motor overheat, and other problems.
(3) This product is not evaluated for EMC directive. When you export this
product to Europe, it needs to be compliant with EMC directive as a facility.
