Mains Connections

Description

The mains cable from the Control Box has a standard IEC plug at the end. Connect a country specific mains plug, or cable, to the IEC plug.

  • IEC 61000-6-4:Chapter 1 scope: “This part of IEC 61000 for emission requirement applies to electrical and electronic equipment intended for use within the environment of existing at industrial (see 3.1.12) locations.”

  • IEC 61000-6-4:Chapter 3.1.12 industrial location: “Locations characterized by a separate power network, supplied from a high- or medium-voltage transformer, dedicated for the supply of the installation”

 
Mains connections

 

To power the robot, the Control Box shall be connected to the mains via the supplied power cord. The IEC C13 connecter on the power cord connects to the IEC C14 appliance inlet at the bottom of the Control Box.

Failure to correctly place the mains connection can result in injury.

  • The power plug for the mains connection shall be placed outside the reach of the robot, such that power can be removed without exposing personnel to potential hazards.

  • If additional safeguarding is implemented, the power plug for the mains connection shall also be placed outside the safeguarded space such that power can be removed without exposure to any potential hazards.

Always use a power cord with a country specific wall plug when connecting to the Control Box.

For <200 Vac countries, use power cord with 15A ampacity.

For >200 Vac countries, use power cord with 10A ampacity.

Do not use an adapter.

 

As a part of the electrical installation, provide the following:

  • Connection to ground

  • Main fuse

  • Residual current device

  • A lockable (in the OFF position) switch

A main switch shall be installed to power off all equipment in the robot application as an easy means for lockout. The electrical specifications are shown in the table below.

Failure to follow any of the below can result in serious injury or death due to electrical hazards.

  • Ensure the robot is grounded correctly (electrical connection to ground). Use the unused bolts associated with grounding symbols inside the Control Box to create common grounding of all equipment in the system. The grounding conductor shall have at least the current rating of the highest current in the system.

  • Ensure the input power to the Control Box is protected with a Residual Current Device (RCD) and a correct fuse.

  • Lockout all power for the complete robot installation during service.

  • Ensure other equipment shall not supply power to the robot I/O when the robot is locked out.

  • Ensure all cables are connected correctly before the Control Box is powered. Always use the original power cord.
