6.3 Connecting cables and interfaces
Connecting
cables
The connecting cables comprise all the cables for transferring energy and sig-
nals between the robot, the robot controller and the linear unit. The set of con-
necting cables comprises:
Motor cable XM7
Control cable XP7
Ground conductor, only for connecting cables > 25 m
A connector plate serving as an interface is located on the linear unit. The con-
nector plate serves as a common interface for all the cables.
The motor cable and control cable, as well as the ground conductor of axis 7,
are connected to the robot controller via the connector plate and the connect-
ing cable (robot). A connection panel is provided on the robot controller for the
external axis A 7. For motor cables, control cables and ground conductors,
standard lengths are available in 7 m, 15 m, 25 m and 35 m.
For connecting cables of length > 25 m an additional ground conductor is re-
quired to provide a low-resistance connection between the linear unit and the
control cabinet in accordance with DIN EN 60204. The ground conductors are
connected via ring cable lugs. These ground conductors and the threaded
bolts are included in the scope of supply for connecting cable sets > 25 m.
Wiring diagrams, connector pin allocations and connector designations for the
energy supply chain can be found in the section “Electrical installations”
(>>> 12 "Electrical installations" page 95).
The following points must be observed when planning and routing the con-
necting cables:
The bending radius for fixed routing – 150 mm for motor cables and
60 mm for control cables – must not be exceeded.
Protect cables against exposure to mechanical stress
Route the cables without mechanical stress – no tensile forces on the con-
nectors
Cables are only to be installed indoors
Observe permissible temperature range (fixed installation) of 263 K (-
10 °C) to 343 K (+70 °C).
Route the motor cables and the control cables separately in metal ducts;
if necessary, additional measures must be taken to ensure electromagnet-
ic compatibility (EMC).
2 Thickness of concrete, without
screed
5 Weld seams
3 Concrete foundation, free from
cracks
The motor cable A 1 - A 6 and data cable are described in the robot operating
manual.
Caution!
Permissible cable lengths:
The length of the connecting cables between the robot controller and the ro-
bot must not exceed 50 m.
If Safe robots are used, the cable length must not exceed 35 m.
