Control Box Connection Ports

The Control Box provides the primary interfaces for communication and data handling within the robot system.

The integrated Ethernet interface enables connection to networked systems, such as PLCs and other control devices, supporting data exchange, remote access, and seamless integration into automated production environments.

In addition, the Control Box includes USB ports for local data operations, allowing easy transfer of programs, backups, and software updates to support commissioning, maintenance, and service activities.

The Control Box (CB7) has 5 Ethernet ports (3 on the connector plate, 1 end-of-arm, and 1 Teach Pendant), 2 USB-A ports, 2 USB-C ports with DisplayPort on both USB-C ports, and an I/O terminal block with 16 configurable digital I/O, analog I/O, and encoder inputs.

The ports for external connections are as follows:

• Teach Pendant port to use the Teach Pendant to control or program the robot arm.

• ETH Ports to allow Ethernet network connections.

• USB-C Ports support external storage devices. DisplayPort output is supported on both USB-C ports.

• USB-A Ports support storage and pointing devices. Standard keyboard and mouse could be connected to these ports.

• I/O Terminal Block connects digital, analog, encoder and safety devices through a unified interface.
