For the connecting cables, a ground conductor is always required to
provide a low-resistance connection between the robot and the con-
trol cabinet in accordance with DIN EN 60204. The ground conductor
is not part of the scope of supply and can be ordered as an option. The con-
nection must be made by the customer. The tapped holes for connecting the
ground conductor are located on the base frame of the robot.
