2.1 Installation
2.1.1 Important Information and Items to Note
To enhance the reliability of your ROBONET and allow it to demonstrate its functions fully, consider the following items before
installing the ROBONET.
(1) Installation location
Do not install the ROBONET in any of the following locations:
[1] Where the ambient temperature drops below 0qC or rises above 40qC
[2] Where the relative humidity exceeds 95%RH
[3] Where condensation may occur due to sudden temperature shift
[4] Exposed to corrosive or flammable gases
[5] Exposed to a large amount of dust, salt or iron powder
[6] Exposed to splashes or mist of water, oil or chemicals
[7] Where the ROBONET may receive direct vibration or impact
[8] Exposed to direct sunlight, or radiant heat from a large heat source such as a heat treatment furnace
If the ROBONET is to be used in any of the following locations, provide sufficient shielding measures:
[1] Where noise generates due to electrostatic, etc.
[2] Where a strong electric or magnetic field generates
[3] Where power or drive lines are running nearby
(2) Installation location in a panel
Consider factors that affect the environmental resistance of the ROBONET when installing it in a control panel.
[1] Considerations to the ambient temperature
The ambient temperature of the ROBONET is 0qC to 40qC. Accordingly, give consideration to the following items:
x Provide a sufficient ventilation space. (Refer to 2.1.4.)
x Avoid installing the ROBONET directly above any equipment that generates a large amount of heat (such as a
heater, large-capacity resistor or transformer).
x If the ambient temperature exceeds 40qC, install a forced fan or cooler.
[2] Consideration to improvement of noise resistance
x Avoid installing the ROBONET in a panel that also houses high-voltage equipment.
x Install the ROBONET as far away as possible from drive lines
x Properly ground any intermediate plate used for mounting.
x Implement noise elimination measures appropriate for each noise source.
There are many sources that generate noise. When building a system, the noise sources you should pay
particular attention to are solenoid valves, magnet switches and relays. Noise from these devices can be
prevented using the measures described on the following page.
