Connecting the Hexapod to the Controller
A cable set with a length of 3 m is included in the scope of delivery of the hexapod (p. 9).
Additional cable sets are available as optional accessory (p. 10).
Cable sets with a length >20 m include line driver boxes (e.g., C-887.5A50 cable set with a
length of 50 m).
Vacuum feedthroughs and cables for the vacuum side are also in the scope of delivery of a
vacuum-compatible hexapod (p. 9).
NOTICE
Incorrect wiring!
When a cable set with line driver boxes is used:
Interchanging the cables between the channels of the line drive boxes causes the hexapod not
to move or move uncontrollably. Uncontrolled motion of the hexapod can cause collision that
can damage the hexapod, the load to be moved or the surroundings.
When connecting the line driver boxes, observe the channel assignment that is specified
on the labeling of the sockets and connectors.
INFORMATION
When a cable set with line driver boxes is used:
The
24 V Out 7 A
connection on the controller is not available for the hexapod because this
connection is required for the power supply of the hexapod-side line driver box. A C-887.5PS
power supply for the hexapod and a snap-on ferrite (000012097) are therefore included in the
scope of delivery of the cable set.
Attach the snap-on ferrite to the hexapod-side cable of the power supply (p. 25) before
connecting the hexapod to the power supply for the first time.
Requirements
The controller is
switched off
, i.e., the on/off switch is in the position .
