CHAPTER 3 Installation

4 Robot Cable Connection

The robot cable is pre-connected to each robot. Correctly install the other end of the robot cable to the robot controller. For details on connections to the robot controller, refer to Fig. 3-7 and the "YAMAHA RCX142 robot controller owner's manual". After making connections, check the operation while referring to "6 Trial operation" in Chapter 1.

WARNING

Before connecting the cables, check that there are no bends or breaks in the connector pins of the robot cable and that the cables are not damaged. Bent or broken pins or cable damage may cause malfunction of the robot.

Ensure that the controller is off before connecting the robot cable to the controller.

WARNING

The MOTOR connectors XM and ZM, and YM and RM each have identical shapes. In addition, the PI connectors XY and ZR have identical shapes. Do not confuse these connectors when making connections. Wrong connections may result in malfunction and hazardous situations.

WARNING

If the connector installation is inadequate or if there are contact failures in the pins, the robot may malfunction causing a hazardous situation. Recon- firm that each connector is securely installed before turning on the control- ler.

To attach the PI connector securely, tighten the screws supplied with the robot.

Take caution not to apply an excessive load to the connectors due to stress or tension on the cables.

WARNING

Lay out the cables so that they do not obstruct the movement of the manipula- tor. Determine the robot work area in which the robot cables will not interfere with the load or workpiece picked up by the manipulator. (See "1-2 External view and dimensions" in Chapter 7.) If the robot cables interfere with the mov- able parts of the robot, the cables may be damaged causing malfunction and hazardous situations.

WARNING

Lay out the robot cables so as to keep the operator or any other person from tripping on them. Bodily injury may result if someone trips on the cables.
