Replacing the J3 axis Slave Controller 

 

DANGER: 

 Before replacing any Controller, the AC power should be 

removed. 

 

Tools Required: 

1.

    

 2.5mm hex driver 

Spare Part Required:  G6X0-EA-00202 

To replace the J3 axis Slave Controller the user must: 

1.

    

 Turn off the robot power and remove the AC power cord. 

2.

    

 Remove the LED light tower cover by pulling up on the light section to release magnets. 

3.

    

 Remove the LED light tower body by removing 4 M3 X 40 SHCS. Unplug LED pigtail. 

4.

    

 Replace the Slave Controller and re-attach the harness. 

5.

    

 Set the jumpers correctly for the address and termination. 

6.

    

 Replace the LED light tower parts. 

7.

    

 It is not necessary to recalibrate the robot if only this controller is replaced.
