WARNING
Do not connect the external power until connections between the Robot Arm
and Robot Controller are completed.
Accidents may occur, such as electric shock, etc.

CAUTION
1. Be careful when connecting the harness. Be sure to use the correct harness
cable and check that the connector fittings match between the harness and
robot/controller before attempting connection. Using an incorrect harness,
or forcing or misconnecting the harness may damage connectors or cause a
break in the electrical system.
2. Use conduits, ducts, etc. to prevent people or equipment (forklift, objects, etc.)
from stepping on or riding over the signal and motor harness lines. An
unprotected harness may become damaged causing breaks in the electrical
system.
3. Separate the harness from any nearby high voltage lines (min. 1 m apart).
Do not bundle or run the harnesses in parallel with other power lines. The
noise generated from power lines will cause malfunctions.

D7x Series Controller 1. Safety
Kawasaki Robot Installation and Connection Manual

1.4 WHEN CONNECTING THE EXTERNAL POWER

Strictly observe the following precautions when connecting the external power.

DANGER
Before beginning the connection work, confirm that the external power supply
for the controller is cut off at the source. To prevent external power from
being turned ON accidentally, tag the breaker and indicate clearly that work
is in progress. Or, assign a supervisor in front of the breaker until all the
connections are complete. Connecting components while power is supplied is
extremely dangerous and may cause electric shock.

WARNING
1. Connect with earth wires to prevent against electrical noise and shock.
2. Use dedicated earth wire (100 or less), which is equal to or larger than the
recommended power cable size (3.5 ~ 8.0 mm2).
3. Never use a minus pole (base metal) or a common earth wire for both
controller and another machine (weld machine, etc.).
4. In arc welding applications, connect the minus pole of the weld power supply
to a jig or directly to base metal. Insulate the robot body and controller so
that they do not share a common earth line.
5. Without fail, before turning ON the external power to controller, make sure
the power supply is connected and all the covers reattached properly.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock.

CAUTION
1. Prepare external power that meets the specifications of the controller in
terms of momentary power interruption, voltage fluctuation, power
capacity, etc.
If the power is interrupted or the voltage goes out of the controllers
specified range (above/below ratings), then the power monitoring circuit
activates cutting off the power, and an error is returned.
2. If the external power emits a lot electrical noise, set up a noise filter to
reduce the interference.
3. Install a separate external power switch (breaker) for the robot,
independent and unconnected to the weld machine.
4. To prevent shorting or accidental leakage on the external power switch,
install a breaker with anti-leak specification. (Use a Time Delay Relay and
sensitivity of 100 mA or more.)

6.0 CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

6.1 CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS BETWEEN CONTROLLER AND ROBOT

WARNING
Do not connect the external power until connections between controller and robot
are completed. Accidents may occur, such as electric shock, etc.

CAUTION
1. Be careful when connecting the harness. Be sure to use the correct harness
cable and check that the connector fittings match between the harness and
robot/controller before attempting connection. Using an incorrect harness, or
forcing or misconnecting the harness may damage connectors or cause a break
in the electrical system.
2. Use conduits, ducts, etc. to prevent people or equipment (forklift, objects, etc.)
from stepping on or riding over the signal and motor harness lines. An
unprotected harness may become damaged causing breaks in the electrical
system.
3. Separate the harness from any nearby high voltage lines (min. 1 m apart). Do
not bundle or run the harnesses in parallel with other power lines. The noise
generated from power lines will cause malfunctions.
4. Separate the motor harness from the communication and sensor cables, and
distribute the lines so they are neither bundled nor running in parallel.
Moreover, connect the communication and sensor cables using shield mesh wire
that includes twisted pair lines and an adequate FG terminal. (See Appendix
4.) These measures stop PWM noise from the robots motor control from
radiating through the various cables and causing communication errors.
5. Separate the welder secondary cable from the robots signal harness. Do not
wire them in the same duct.
6. The motor harness (power line) between the robot and controller will generate
switch noise due to the PWM control driving the motors. This noise may
cause interference with signal lines. Prevent interference using these
countermeasures:
(1) Separate the power and signal lines as much as possible.
(2) Use the shortest possible length for the power line.
(3) Avoid bundling, wiring in parallel the power and signal lines as much as
possible.
(4) Ground the shield of the power line securely with the FG terminal.
(5) Do not wire the power and signal line within the same duct/conduit.
(6) Set and secure a firm earth line connection for the controller.

Kawasaki Robot Installation and Connection Manual

7.0 CONNECTION OF EXTERNAL POWER

DANGER

Confirm that external power supply for the controller is cut off before
starting connection process. It is extremely dangerous to connect
power terminals with the power supply turned ON and accidents may
occur, electric shock, etc. To prevent external power from being
turned ON, tag the breaker to indicate clearly that work is in progress.
Or, assign a supervisor in front of the breaker until all connections are
complete.

WARNING

1. Make sure the power supply meets the specifications listed on the
name plate on the controllers front panel. Connecting to a power
source outside specifications may damage internal components.
2. Install a dedicated earth wire (100 or less). Also, install a
separate earth wire for the weld machine, do not use a common
earth wire.

CAUTION

1. Check for fluctuations in the power supply before making any power
connections to the robot. Ensure a stable power supply, fluctuations
of +/-10 % or more will degrade the robots efficiency.
2. If there is danger of electrical noise coming through the power line
from other equipment, then be sure to place noise filters. (Noise
level: 2kv/1s or more)
3. Likewise, PWM noise coming through the power line from the robot
motors may also affect machines with low noise tolerance, resulting
in malfunction. Plan and arrange the system so that all the
peripheral equipment* can withstand the PWM noise.

Note* Beware that some devices/configurations are easily exposed to


PWM noise, e.g.: proximity switch coupled directly to power
supply, etc. (See also App. 4.)

Kawasaki Robot Installation and Connection Manual

8.1 INSTRUCTIONS AT THE CONNECTION

WARNING

Turn OFF the power supply to the controller and peripheral equipment when
connecting external I/O. Prevent accidental turn ON of the power until all
connections are complete by tagging the breaker to indicate that work is in
progress or by assigning a supervisor to stand in front of the breaker. Failure
to do so is extremely dangerous and may result in electric shock or damage to
the electrical system.

CAUTION

1. Take the necessary noise countermeasures on equipment with external


I/O connections to the controller. Electrical noise that interferes with
the I/O may cause malfunction or damage to the electrical system.
2. Do not mistake pin Nos. on the connectors when connecting external I/O.
Misconnecting pins may cause breakdown of the electrical system.
3. Prevent people or equipment (forklift, objects, etc.) from stepping on or
riding over the external I/O cables. An unprotected cable may become
damaged causing breaks in the electrical system.
4. Avoid wiring the external I/O cable and the power line close together or
in parallel as much as possible. Separate the cables and lines by at least
20 cm. Electromagnetic induction from the robot motor cable, the
power lines for peripheral equipment, welding cable, etc. (either in or
outside the controller) may cause noise interference in the I/O cable and
lead to malfunction.
5. When connecting with a light load such as sequencers, we recommend
using a shield harness.
6. Fix the external I/O cable with tying bands in the harness support set on
top the Controller Unit. This protects the connector on the terminal
block from excessive force. (pulling, snagging of cable, etc.)
7. Install the protector so that external I/O cable never causes insulation
failure or disconnection at the intake port.
