Standard robot + wire externally (external wiring)
There are three methods for connecting the force sense interface unit and force sensor.
For other two connection methods, refer to “
Appendix 1 Connecting the Force Sensor Appendix 1.1
Connecting the Force Sensor and the Force Sense Interface Unit ”
3.3 Power ON/OFF
Turn ON the power only after checking that the force sense interface unit, robot controller, and force
sensor have been properly connected. Turn the power ON and OFF in the following order.
(1) When turning the power ON
Turn ON the power to the force sense interface unit followed by the robot controller.
(2) When turning the power OFF
Turn OFF the power to the robot controller followed by the force sense interface unit.
(There is no need to turn OFF the force sense interface unit power if only the controller is ON.)
Caution
Do not disconnect the SSCNET III cable after turning ON the power.
Furthermore, do not look directly at the light from the end of the SSCNET III
