7. Connecting with Controller

21

When fixing the cable, provide a moderate slack and do not tension it too tight.

Separate the I/O and communication lines from the power and drive lines. Do not wire them together in the

same duct.

If a cable track is used, use a robot cable and prevent the cable from getting tangled or kinked in the cable

track or flexible tube. Also make sure the cable retains a certain degree of flexibility (so that the cable will not

become too taut when bent).

[For the bending radius, refer to “9. Motor • Encoder Cable”.]

Do not cause the cables to occupy more than 60% of the space in the cable track.

Warning:

Always turn off the controller power before connecting/disconnecting cables. If cables are connected/

disconnected while the power is still supplied, the actuator may malfunction and serious injury or equipment

damage may occur.

Loose connectors may cause the actuator to malfunction and create a dangerous situation.

Be sure to confirm that all connectors are securely connected.

Do not use spiral tube in any

position where cables are bent

frequently.
