Chapter 5 Maintenance
Routine maintenance and inspection are necessary so that the system will operate properly at all times. Be
sure to turn off the power before performing maintenance or inspection.
The standard inspection interval is six months to one year. If the environment warrants, however, the interval
should be shortened.
1. Inspection Points
Check to see if the supply voltage to the controller is inside the specified range.
Inspect the ventilation holes in the controller and remove dirt, dust and other foreign attachments, if any.
Inspect the controller cables (controller actuator) and check for any loose screws or cable
disconnection.
Check the controller mounting screws, etc., for looseness.
Inspect each cable (axis link cable, general-purpose I/O cable, system I/O cable, power cable) for loose
connection, disconnection, play, etc.
2. Spare Consumable Parts
Without spare parts, a failed controller cannot be repaired even when the problem is identified quickly. We
recommend that you keep the following consumable parts as spares:
Consumable parts
Cables
System-memory backup battery (optional): AB-5 by IAI -- Must be replaced after approx. 5 years
Absolute-data backup battery (optional): AB-5 by IAI -- Must be replaced after approx. 2 years*
(Absolute specification)
*: The actual replacement timing will vary depending on the use condition. For details, refer to “
Battery Backup Function” in Appendix.
When the battery voltage drops, an applicable error code will be displayed on the panel window.
