Chapter 3: Robot Installation
3.9 Connectors on Robot Interface Panel (eAIB)
24 VDC—for connecting user-supplied 24 VDC power to the robot. The mating connector is
provided.
Ground Point—for connecting cable shield from user-supplied 24 VDC cable.
200/240 VAC — for connecting 200-240 VAC, single-phase, input power to the robot. The mat-
ing connector is provided. The cable is user-supplied.
XIO (DB26, high density, female) — for user I/O signals for peripheral devices. This connector
provides 8 outputs and 12 inputs. For connector pin allocations for inputs and outputs, see
eAIB XIO Connector Signals on page 86. That section also contains signal numbers to access
these I/O signals via eV+.
XBELTIO — (this is not supported on eCobra Lite robots) adds two belt encoders (Pro only),
an RS-232 interface, and either Intelligent Force Sensing or IO Blox support. This requires the
eAIB XBELT IO Adapter cable.
SmartServo x2 (IEEE1394) — for connecting the IEEE 1394 cable from an optional controller to
the robot. The servo connectors can also be used to connect to a second robot or another 1394-
based motion axis.
XSYSTEM — The Front Panel, optional T20 pendant, and XUSR cable connect here. This uses
the eAIB XSYSTEM cable. See System Cables, without SmartController EX on page 35.
If you are using an optional SmartController EX, it uses the eAIB XSYS cable, instead of this
cable, and the Front Panel and T20 pendant connect to the SmartController EX.
ENET — Two Ethernet ports are available. One will be needed to connect to a PC running
ACE software or a user-supplied PLC.
