4.1 Notes on Cable Junctions
• The cables that connect the controller to peripheral device are low
voltage circuits. Keep controller signal cables away from the primary
power circuit. Do not run high voltage power lines in parallel to the
controller signal cables. If running parallel cables is unavoidable, use
metal ducts or conduit to isolate electrical signal interference. Run
the power cables perpendicular across the signal cables if cables
require crossing.
• Confirm the connector and cable numbers to prevent mis-connection
and equipment damage. One connects the manipulator and the
controller. Another connects the controller and peripheral device. A
wrong connection can cause damage to electronic equipment.
• Clear the area of all unauthorized personnel while making cable
connections. Place all cables in a covered cable channel in the floor.

• When installing the power cable and encoder cable of the
manipulator cable are in the same cable duct, separate the two
cables from each other or install a separator between the two cables.
