Procedure for Creating 24 VDC Cable
1. Locate the connector and pins from Table 4-6 on page 54.
2. Use 14-16 AWG wire to create the 24 VDC cable. Select the wire length to safely
reach from the user-supplied 24 VDC power supply to the robot base.
NOTE: You also must create a separate 24 VDC cable for the PLC Server.
That cable uses a different style of connector. See Section 4.8 on page 59
for details.
3. Crimp the pins onto the wires using the crimping tool recommended in Tab le 4 -6
on page 54.
4. Insert the pins into the connector. Confirm that the 24V and ground wires are in
the correct terminals in the plug.
5. Prepare the opposite end of the cable for connection to your user-supplied 24
VDC power supply.
Installing 24 VDC Robot Cable
1. Connect one end of the 24 VDC cable to your user-supplied 24 VDC power
supply. The cable shield should be connected to frame ground on the power
supply. Do not turn on the 24 VDC power until instructed to do so in Chapter 5.
2. Plug the mating connector end of the 24 VDC cable into the 24 VDC connector on
the interface panel on the back of the robot. The cable shield should be connected
to the ground point on the interface panel.
