Connecting the Controller

The controller connection cables are attached on the robot (standard cable: 5 m, to air-tube joint: 150
mm).

Pay attention to the following items when connecting the controller:

Connect to the robot of the serial number specified on the robot designation label provided on the
front panel of the controller.

Be sure to connect to the robot of the serial number specified on the front panel of the controller.
The controller will not operate properly if any other robot is connected. Failure to observe this
warning may cause the robot to malfunction, resulting in a serious accident.
Before connecting or disconnecting a cable, always turn off the power to the controller.
Connecting/disconnecting a cable with the power supplied to the controller may cause the robot to
malfunction, resulting in a serious accident.
Installing the connectors into the wrong sockets may cause the robot to malfunction. Be sure to
check the designation on the cable with that on the controller panel before plugging in any
connector.
If the connectors are not inserted securely, the robot may malfunction and generate the risk of
danger. Be sure to affix each connector with the supplied screws.

Connect the cables securely after confirming that they are free from damage or bent connector pins.
Connect each cable by aligning the indication on the marking tube on the cable with the indication
on the controller panel.
When installing the PG connector (D-sub connector), ensure correct orientation of the connector.
The brake power circuit is provided on the primary side (high-voltage side). Therefore, provide a
dedicated 24 VDC power supply for the brake.

Do not attempt to share the secondary circuit power

sources such as I/O power source.
The brake power to be supplied to Horizontal Articulated Robot should be 24V DC ±10% and the
voltage source capacity 10W.
The brake power to be supplied to the XSEL-PX/QX controller should be 24V DC ±10% and the
voltage source capacity 4.5W.
(Note) It is necessary to increase the voltage source capacity of the brake power source if brake

actuators are to be connected to the 5th and 6th axes of the XSEL-PX/QX controller.
[Refer to the section of the voltage source capacity and heat generation in the controller
operation manual.]

Refer to the operation manuals for the controller and PC software for the procedures to connect the I/O
cable, controller power cable, PC connection cable, etc.
