Machine concept The robot interfaces ROB 4000/5000 and ROB 5000 OC, hereafter referred to as robot
interfaces, are designed for automatic welders and have analog and digital inputs and
outputs. The robot interfaces are to be installed in an automatic welder and robot control
cubicle (can also be surface-mounted).
Advantages
- connection to power source via a standard LocalNet interface
- no modification to power source necessary
- in addition to the digital inputs and outputs:
analog inputs and outputs for the transfer of process variables
Therefore independent of the bit width employed in the existing robot control
- simple replacement of power source
- simple plug-in connections
- very little wiring required
- installed on DIN rail
- housing dimensions (l x w x h) = 160 x 90 x 58 mm
- high degree of interference immunity during data transmission
The robot interface is connected using a 10-pin cable (43,0004,0459 / 0460 / 0509: 10-
pin remote control cable 5/10/20 m) to a 10-pin LocalNet interface on the digital power
source. If no LocalNet interface ports are available, the LocalNet passive distributor
(4,100,261) can be used (e.g. between the power source and interconnecting hosepack).
NOTE!
The LocalNet passive distributor cannot be used with a JobMaster TIG welding
torch.
A 1 m long LocalNet cable harness, including a 10-pin socket, is supplied with the robot
interface. The 10-pin socket is used as a bushing through the side of the control cubicle.
The „ROB 5000 LocalNet installation set“ option (4,100,270: 10-pin connection socket
with cable harness for the robot interface) is available if an additional LocalNet node (e.g.
remote control) needs to be connected to the robot control.
A made-up, 1.5m long cable harness is available for connecting the robot control to the
robot interface (4,100,260: cable harness ROB 5000; 4,100,274: cable harness ROB
4000).
The cable harness on the interface side is terminated with Molex plugs and is already
made-up. The cable harness on the control side can be modified to match the termina-
tion system used on the robot control. The comprehensive labelling of the cable harness,
