4.10  Fabricating External I/O Signal Cable 
  When fabricating an external I/O signal cable, observe the following matters. 
  a.)  Connectors INPUT and OUTPUT for the TSL3000E/TSL3100E robot controller 
should be either the connectors attached to the controller or equivalent 
connectors. 
The equivalent of other makers (D-sub connectors) can also be used. 
 
XM3A–3721 (plug type connector) 
XM2S–3711 (connector cover) 
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. 13 mm (INPUT), 11 mm (OUTPUT) 
    •  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 INPUT and OUTPUT 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. 
  *  Cables with their single side soldered to the connector (TSL3000E/TSL3100E: 
INPUT/OUTPUT cables) are provided optionally.    (We can advise of the cable 
length.)    Contact our after-sale service agent in your territory.
