KEYENCE XG-8700T - Manual (Page 4)

4
Install the controller unit to DIN rail, or use the holes on the bottom of the
controller to secure it with screws.
• Do not install the XG in a location with lots of dust or water vapor. The XG does
not have a mechanism to protect the XG from dust or water. Dust or water
entering the controller can cause damage to the XG.
• Turn off the power to the controller when connecting or removing an expansion
unit, a cable, or a terminal block. Connecting or removing the camera expansion
unit, the cable, or the terminal block while the power is being supplied may
damage the controller or peripheral devices.
• When an expansion unit is not connected, place the connector protection cover
back on the controller. Using the controller with the connector exposed may cause
damage to the controller.
Caution on Direction of Controller Mounting
• Install the controller in the direction indicated by the circle as shown
below. Do not install the controller in any other direction.
• For ventilation, keep the space free of objects for 50 mm or more above
the controller and 50 mm or more for both sides. Keep the space free of
objects for 90 mm or more in the front of the connector panel to connect
the cables safely.
• When two or more controllers are installed side by side, keep the space
free of objects for 50 mm or more between controllers, and 50 mm or
more on top of both controllers.
• Do not block the ventilation openings on the top and bottom of the controller. If the
vents are blocked, heat is accumulated inside the machine and can cause system
failure.
• If the temperature inside the control panel (temperature at the upper part of the front
surface of the controller) exceeds the rating, use forced air-cooling or increase the free
space around the system to improve ventilation until the operating ambient temperature
drops below the rating.
Installing the Expansion Unit
Installing the Camera Expansion Unit
When connecting three or more cameras,
after connecting the optional Camera
Input Unit to the optional Camera
Expansion Unit CA-E800/XG-E800,
install to the controller.
After detaching the protection sticker of
connector 1 to the right side of the main
controller, install the Camera Expansion
Unit.
Installing the Communication Expansion Unit
The optional CC-Link expansion unit
CA-NCL10E is used when
communicating with CC-Link devices.
Remove the protective cover of
connector 2 from the left side of the
controller and install the CC-Link
expansion unit.
Installing the Illumination Expansion Unit
A combination of up to 4 CA-DC21E and CA-DC30E illumination
expansion units (sold separately) may be connected for control of up to 8
individual lighting units. However, a maximum of 2 CA-DC30E units may
be connected for control of up to 4 individual lighting units.
When using the illumination expansion unit and CC-Link unit
simultaneously
Mount the CC-Link unit CA-NCL10E directly to the controller, then mount
the illumination expansion unit to the left side of the CC-Link unit.
• Turn off the power to the controller when connecting or removing each expansion
unit. Connecting or removing the each expansion unit while the power is being
supplied may damage the controller or peripheral devices.
• When an expansion unit is not connected, place the connector protection cover
back on the controller. Using the controller with the connector exposed may cause
damage to the controller.
• It is necessary to mount the supplied attachments before mounting the illumination
expansion unit.
