When using this function, use of exclusive cables (option) is recommended. For
details, contact our after-sale service agent in your territory.

a. The CN0 connector on the robot side should be either the attached connector
or equivalent connectors. The equivalent of other makers (D-sub connector)
can also be used.
XM3A–2521 (plug type connector)
XM2S–2511 (connector cover)
b. Select the cables which meet the following specifications.
• Core wires : 0.18 mm
2
to 0.32 mm
2
twisted wires
• Cable outer diameter : Max. 10 mm
• Shield : Batch braided shield
• Cable length : 30 m or less
NEVER use cables which do not conform to the specifications. Otherwise,
short-circuit or cable melting due to overheated cable core may be caused.
Additionally, the robot may work improperly due to noise.
c. The CN0 connectors are of a solder cup type which joins cables by soldering.
For how to join cables to connectors and how to shield cables, see Appendix 2.
