Wrist power supply
The maximum current is shared among all power outputs of the wrist, including the A and B
connectors and the pogo pad.
The wrist can handle a maximum of 5 A among all connection points. If one M8 connector is
using 1 A, there is only 4 A left for the other interfaces.
Important: The maximum current that can be used by any one M8 connector is 1.4 A.
General-purpose inputs and outputs for the wrist
Unless otherwise specified, all general-purpose digital and analog inputs and outputs have the
same specifications as the Industrial I/Os.
