24 VDC Mating Connector
The 24 VDC mating connector and two pins are supplied with each system. They are
shipped in the Accessory Kit.
Creating 24 VDC Cable
1. Locate the connector and pins from the preceding table.

reach from the user-supplied 24 VDC power supply to the robot base.
3. Crimp the pins onto the wires using the crimping tool recommended in the
preceding table.
4. Insert the pins into the connector. Confirm that the 24 V 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 shielded 24 VDC cable to your user-supplied 24 VDC
power supply. See Figure 4-7 . 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 6 .
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.
