controller to a power supply, and the robot to the vacuum system. Your robotic sys-
tem might include a pre-aligner or track. For information specific to these units, see
the manual for that unit.
Overcurrent Protection
Because the robotic system is not a stand-alone unit, SEMI S2 requires overcurrent
protection of the end-user system. The minimum overcurrent ratings are 10,000 AIC
for all 208/120-volt circuit protection devices and 14,000 AIC for all 480/277-volt cir-
cuit protection devices. These minimums are not required if the overcurrent protec-
tion device is located on the load side of another overcurrent protection device with
the proper AIC rating mounted close to the equipment.
1.
Connect the 50-pin and 8-pin cables between the robot and controller. Power
up and observe the LEDs on the connector panel:
•
If the green LED lights up, the signal cables are correctly connected.
•
If the red LED lights up, power down and exchange the two signal
cables.
2.
Confirm the AC power setting on the voltage selector setting. Unless other-
wise requested, the controller voltage is set to 120 V
AC
when shipped.
CAUTION
Setting voltage incorrectly can damage the robotic system.
3.
Ensure that the power source is properly grounded. Adherence to National
Electrical Code is required.
4.
With system power OFF, connect the controller AC power cable to an AC out-
let connected to the host system EMO circuit.
5.
Access a user interface, following instructions in the next section to connect the
RS-232 cable between the host computer and controller or connect the Teach
Pendant to the controller.
6.
Verify that all cables are plugged into the appropriate connectors with the cor-
rect orientation and that they are all securely fastened.
7.
Connect Interlock or I/O cables to the DB37 connector. Ensure that the signals
are in normal running states. For more information on I/O, refer to the
Smart
Controller Hardware and Software User’s Manual
