Connecting Control Box (CB7) to Mains

Description

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

 

A main switch shall be installed to power off all equipment in the robot application as an easy means of lockout. For electrical specifications of the mains, see Electrical Installation of the Mains.

 
 

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.

  • 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.

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 a power cord with 15 A ampacity.

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

Do not use an adapter.
