5.1 Introduction

This chapter describes electrical interface groups for the Robot Arm in the Control Box. Exam-
ples are given for most types of I/O. The term I/O refers to both digital and analog control signals
to or from the electrical interface groups listed below.
• Mains connection
• Robot connection
• Controller I/O
• Tool I/O

• Ethernet

5.1.1 Control Box Bracket

On the underside of the I/O interface groups, there is a bracket with ports that allows for addi-
tional connections (illustrated below). The base of the Control Box has a capped opening for
easy connection (see 5.2).
Note: The Fuse must be UL marked, Mini Blade type with maximum current rating: 10A and
minimum voltage rating: 32V
5.2 Ethernet
The Ethernet interface can be used for:
• MODBUS, EtherNet/IP and PROFINET (see part II).
• Remote access and control.
To connect the Ethernet cable by passing it through the hole at the base of the Control Box, and
plugging it into the Ethernet port on the underside of the bracket.
Replace the cap at the base of the Control Box with an appropriate cable gland to connect the
cable to the Ethernet port.
