INSTALLING THE ROBOT SYSTEM
Do not install any end-effector yet. We will cover this topic in Section 8.
Next, you must solidly attach the smart power supply using four M6 screws (Figure12), at a location
sufficiently close to the robot's base to allow connection with the 2-meter DC cable provided, but outside
the robot's safety enclosure. Unless you are using an external emergency stop wired via the D-Sub
connector, you must fix the power supply at a location that makes the integrated E-STOP button readily
accessible by an operator.

Next, attach the circular connector of the Ethernet cable to the ETHERNET1 port on the robot's base and
connect the RJ-45 jack to your computer or router (Figure11). The two Ethernet ports on the robot base
act as a bridge, so you can daisy-chain several Meca500 robots, or connect an Ethernet I/O module on
the ETHERNET2 port.
Finally, use the DC power cable provided to connect the unpowered power supply to the robot's DC
power connector (Figure11). Make sure the connectors are completely screwed, or else you may
damage the robot. Then, connect the power supply to your country-specific AC power cord (not
provided).
!
Always connect the DC power cable before connecting the power supply to an AC outlet. Always
disconnect the power supply from the AC outlet before disconnecting the DC power cable.
