. Remove the No.2 arm cover U, and install the
solenoid valve on the No.2 arm. Turn the controller’s power OFF before this installing operation. Refer to
"5.3.2 Installing/removing the cover"
for removing/ installing the cover.
It is necessary to set the parameters (HIOTYPE, HANDYPE) in accordance with solenoid valve type (sink type/
source type) and output signal before using the solenoid valve set.
Refer to the separate volume, "Instruction Manual/Detailed Explanations of Functions and Operations" for how to
set parameters.
Fig.3-1 ： Solenoid valve installation procedures
The installation procedure is detailed below.
1) Remove the screws fixing the No. 2 arm cover U, and remove the No. 2 arm cover U.
2) Fix the solenoid valve to the plate in the position indicated in
. Place it so that the solenoid valve's
primary piping connection joints (P, R ports) are located on the right hand side, and fix it securely using the
M4 screws included (tightening torque: 1.39 to 1.89N ・ m).
3) Connect the connector (GR1, GR2) of solenoid valve with connector of robot arm side (GR1, GR2). Connect
with the same names. The hand output signal cables of the robot arm side are located close to where the
