Part 1 Installation
[9] Teaching
connector The teaching interface connects IAI’s teaching pendant or a PC to enable
operation and setting of your equipment from the teaching pendant/PC. The
physical interface consists of a RS232C system based on a 25 pin D-sub
connector. The signal level conforms to RS232C, and a desired baud rate
(up to 115.2 kbps) can be selected depending on the program. RS232C
communication is possible only when the mode switch (12) is set to the
MANU position.
You can also use an ANSI teaching pendant equipped with an ANSI-
compliant double-action enable switch. Whether the controller supports an
ANSI teaching pendant or IAI’s standard teaching pendant can be set using
the selector switch (8) provided above the teaching pendant connector. (P
type only)
* With Q-type controllers, connect the supplied dummy plug to the teaching
connector during the AUTO mode.

Dedicated cable
Power supply
5 VDC or 24 VDC
A multi-fuse (MF-R090) is installed to
protect each line against short
current (the fuse will trip with currents
of between 1.1 A and 2.2 A).
Protocol X-SEL
teaching
protocol
The connector supports the X-SEL-
J/K teaching pendant interface
protocol.
Emergency-stop
control
Series emergency-
stop relay drive (24 V)
An emergency-stop relay drive line is
provided in the interface connector.
This line is connected in series with
other emergency-stop contact.
Two independent emergency stop
input circuits are provided as a
redundant safety design.
Enabling control
Enable switch line (24
V)
A line for connecting an enable
switch is provided as an operator
interlock. Two independent enable
input circuits are provided as a
redundant safety design.
[12] Mode switch
AUTO/MANU switch
Whether or not the teaching pendant
can be used is set by the
AUTO/MANU mode switch. The
controller establishes a handshake
with the teaching pendant only when
this switch is set to the MANU mode.
Note, however, that the teaching
pendant displays the monitor screen
regardless of the AUTO/MANU
setting.
