2.2.4 Grounding procedures
(
1
) Grounding methods
1
) There are three grounding methods as shown in
, but the dedicated grounding (
Fig. 2-4 (a)
)
should be used for the robot arm and controller
when possible. (Refer to the separate " Controller
Setup, Basic Operation and Maintenance" for
details on the controller grounding.)
2) Use Class D grounding (grounding resistance
1
00
Ω
or less).
Dedicated grounding separated from the other
devices should be used.
3) Use a AWG#
1
4(2mm
2
) or more stranded wire for
the grounding wire. The grounding point should be
as close to the robot arm and controller as possi
-
ble, and the length of the grounding wire should
be short.
