CAUTION
Disturbing signals with levels higher than those defined in the specific IEC standards
can cause unexpected behaviors from the robot. Be aware of the following:
•
The robot has been tested according to international IEC standards for
ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC). Very high signal levels or excessive
exposure can damage the robot permanently. EMC problems are found to
happen usually in welding processes and are normally prompted by error
messages in the log. Universal Robots cannot be held responsible for any
damages caused by EMC problems.
•
I/O cables going from the Control Box to other machinery and factory
equipment may not be longer than 30m, unless additional tests are performed.
GROUND
Negative connections are referred to as Ground (GND) and are connected to the
casing of the robot and the Control Box. All mentioned GND connections are only for
powering and signalling. For PE (Protective Earth) use the M6-size screw
connections marked with earth symbols inside the Control Box. The grounding
conductor shall have at least the current rating of the highest current in the system.
READ MANUAL
Some I/Os inside the Control Box can be configured for either normal or safety-
related I/O. Read and understand the complete Electrical Interface chapter.
2.4.3. Controller I/O
You can use the I/O inside the Control Box for a wide range of equipment including pneumatic
relays, PLCs and emergency stop buttons.
The illustration below shows the layout of electrical interface groups inside the Control Box.
