24-V power supply
2.2.9 How to Connect Teaching Tool When Grounding Positive Terminal of 24-V Power
Supply
If the positive terminal of the 24-V power supply is grounded (= the +24-V side is grounded), use a SIO converter as shown
below to connect a teaching pendant or PC to the Gateway R unit. At this time, do not connect the FG of the SIO converter.
With the ROBONET, basically the negative terminal of the 24-V power supply is grounded (= the 0-V side is grounded).
Since most teaching pendants and PCs have their communication ground line and FG (frame ground) shorted internally,
grounding the 24-V power supply at the positive terminal (= grounding the +24-V side) will cause the 24-V power supply to
short when a teaching pendant or PC is connected to the Gateway R unit, resulting in damage to the teaching pendant or PC.
Caution
Do not connect the FG of the SIO converter.
