Robot Cable Connection

The robot cable is pre-connected to the YK-XG series robot. For details on con-
nections to the robot controller, refer to Fig. 3-7 and the "YAMAHA Robot Con-
troller User's Manual". After making connections, check the operation while re-
ferring to "6 Trial operation" in Chapter 1.
WARNING
• Before connecting the cables, check that there are no bends or breaks in the
connector pins of the robot cable and that the cables are not damaged. Bent
or broken pins or cable damage may cause malfunction of the robot.
• Ensure that the controller is off before connecting the robot cable to the con-
troller.
• In the RCX142 controller, the MOTOR connectors XM and ZM, and YM and
RM each have identical shapes. In addition, the PI connectors XY and ZR
have identical shapes. Do not confuse these connectors when making con-
nections. Wrong connections may result in malfunction and hazardous situa-
tions.
• If the connector installation is inadequate or if there are contact failures in the
pins, the robot may malfunction causing a hazardous situation. Reconfirm
that each connector is securely installed before turning on the controller.
• To attach the PI connector securely, tighten the screws supplied with the
robot.
• Take caution not to apply an excessive load to the connectors due to stress
or tension on the cables.
• Lay out the cables so that they do not obstruct the movement of the manipu-
lator. Determine the robot work area in which the robot cables will not inter-
fere with the load or workpiece picked up by the manipulator. If the robot
cables interfere with the movable parts of the robot, the cables may be dam-
aged causing malfunction and hazardous situations. Refer to the external
view and dimensions shown in the catalog or website (www.yamaha-
motor.co.jp/global/industrial/robot).
• Lay out the robot cables so as to keep the operator or any other person from
tripping on them. Bodily injury may result if someone trips on the cables.
