To prevent malfunctions due to noise, take into account the following points.
1. Place a noise filter and ferrite core at a point near the robot controller.
Do not bundle the primary wiring and secondary wiring of the noise filter together.

2. Always attach a surge absorber to the coil of inductive loads (induction motor, solenoid valve, brake
solenoid, relay and so on) located near the robot controller.
