External connection ports

The ports for external connections are as follows:

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

  • SD card port to insert an SD card.

  • Ethernet port to allow ethernet type connections.

  • Mini DisplayPort to support monitors using DisplayPort. This requires an active Mini Display to a DVI or HDMI converter. Passive converters do not work with DVI/HDMI ports.

  • The Mini Blade Fuse is used when an external power supply is connected.

Connecting or disconnecting a Teach Pendant while the Control Box is powered on can cause equipment damage .

  • Do not connect a Teach Pendant while the Control Box is on.

  • Power off the Control Box before you connect a Teach Pendant.

Failure to plug in the active adapter before powering on the Control Box can hinder the display output.

  • Plug in the active adapter before powering on the Control Box.

  • In some cases the external monitor must be powered on before the Control Box.

  • Use an active adapter that supports revision 1.2 as not all adapters function out-of-the-box.
