NOTE: The 24 VDC cable is not supplied with the system, but is available in
the optional Power Cable kit. See List of Cables and Parts on page 41.
Creating 24 VDC Cable
1.
Locate the connector and pins shown in Table 4-8.
2.
Use 14-16 AWG wire to create the 24 VDC cable. Select the wire length to safely reach
from the user-supplied 24 VDC power supply to the robot base.
3.
Crimp the pins onto the wires using the crimping tool.
4.
Insert the pins into the connector. Confirm that the 24 V and 24 V return wires are in
the correct terminals in the plug.
5.
Prepare the opposite end of the cable for connection to the user-supplied 24 VDC power
supply.
NOTE: If you are using the optional SmartController EX motion controller, you
also must create a separate 24 VDC cable for it. That cable uses a different style
of connector. See the SmartController EX User's Guide.
Connecting 24 VDC Cable
1.
Connect one end of the shielded 24 VDC cable to your user-supplied 24 VDC power sup-
ply. The cable shield should be connected to frame ground on the power supply. Do not
turn on the 24 VDC power until instructed to do so in Turning on Power on page 96.
See the following figure.
2.
Plug the mating connector end of the 24 VDC cable into the 24 VDC connector on the
interface panel on the back of the robot. The cable shield should be connected to the
ground point on the interface panel.
