Safety
WARNING!
Danger from incorrect operation and work that is not carried out properly.
This can result in serious personal injury and damage to property.
All the work and functions described in this document must only be carried
▶
out by technically trained and qualified personnel.
Read and understand this document in full.
▶
Read and understand all safety rules and user documentation for this equip-
▶
ment and all system components.
WARNING!
Danger from electrical current.
This can result in serious personal injury and damage to property.
Before starting work, switch off all the devices and components involved and
▶
disconnect them from the grid.
Secure all devices and components involved so they cannot be switched back
▶
on.
WARNING!
Danger from unplanned signal transmission.
This can result in serious personal injury and damage to property.
Do not transfer safety signals via the interface.

Connection Sockets and Indicators on the Robot
Interface
General As a result of customer-specific requirements, you may find that your device has
certain connection sockets that are not described in these Operating Instructions, or vice versa.
However, this does not affect the basic functions of the device.
Connection
Sockets for the
Power Source
and System
Components
(1) SpeedNet connection socket
To connect to the first power
source.
Connection using SpeedNet
connection cable.
(2) SpeedNet connection socket
To connect to other system
components, such as the first
wirefeeder.
Connection using SpeedNet
cable from interconnecting
hosepack.
(3) SpeedNet connection socket
To connect to the second power source.
Connection using SpeedNet connection cable.
(4) SpeedNet connection socket
To connect to other system components, such as the second wirefeeder.
Connection using SpeedNet cable from interconnecting hosepack.

sockets for the
robot control
The robot interface is supplied with one of the following connection configurations depending on the requirement.
Basic configuration example:
(1) Strain-relief device
The robot control cable harness
must be guided through the
strain-relief device inside the
robot interface and connected
directly to the bus module.
ProfiNet IO, Ethernet/IP 2P, etc. configuration example:
EN-US
(2) Connection sockets for the rel-
evant bus module
The connection sockets for the
bus module are routed to the
outside of the robot interface at
the factory. The robot control
cable harness can be connected
directly to the outside of the robot interface.

WARNING!
Before starting work, switch off all the devices and components involved and
disconnect them from the grid.
Secure all the devices and components involved to prevent unintentional restarting.
After opening the device, use a suitable measuring instrument to check that
electrically charged components (such as capacitors) have been discharged.
WARNING!
Always use the original housing screws in the original quantity.

Dip Switch
General Depending on the bus module being
used, the DIP switch inside the robot
interface can be used to set the node
address/IP address.
Example: Setting
the node address/IP address
Dip switch
8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Node address
- - OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF ON 1
- - OFF OFF OFF OFF ON OFF 2
- - OFF OFF OFF OFF ON ON 3
- - ON ON ON ON ON OFF 62
- - ON ON ON ON ON ON 63
The node address/IP address is set using dip switch positions 1 to 6.
The setting is in binary format. This results in a configuration range of 1 to 63 in
decimal format.

Notes on the Robot Interface Power Supply

(3)
Notes on the Interface Power
Supply
By default the interface is supplied with +24 V DC via connector X19 (1)
-
If the interface has connection sockets for an external power supply, these
-
sockets must be connected to connector X20 (2) or X27 (3), through which
the interface is supplied with +24 V DC
The interface can be supplied with power though connectors X19, X20, and
-
X27 in parallel. If this is the case, the interface will continue to function even
if one of the power supply lines is disconnected
If the interface is to be switched on and off via an external power supply, the
-
connection between the interface and connector X19 must be broken
