Usage Requirements#

When users use the robot and DC00 control cabinet, they must operate in accordance with the recommended electrical parameters. Reaching or exceeding the limit parameters may cause damage to the controller hardware.

Power Supply Requirements#

The DC00 control cabinet requires two sets of external power supplies: DC24V and DC48V. These two sets of power supplies are isolated from each other and do not share a common ground.

DC24V provides power for the control circuit, supplying power to the teach pendant, RC controller, fan, EIO function expansion IO, and the control circuit of the five-in-one unit itself. The GND of DC24V is short-circuited with PE (shell) on the RC control board. DC48V supplies power to the robotic arm after control. Additionally, DC48V is converted to 24V to provide internal IO power, as well as power for DIO (Digital IO) and CIO (Configurable IO) interfaces. The IO power further supplies SIO (Safety IO). The grounds of DC48V and 24V IO are not connected to PE (shell) and are defined as 0V in this manual.

The electrical logic of power management is as follows: black represents the 0V of DC48V and 24V, and blue represents the GND of DC24V connected to the shell PE.

../../_images/08.jpg

Notes: The ground or negative pole of the devices connected to SIO (Safety IO), DIO (Digital IO), and CIO (Configurable IO) must be isolated from the conductive parts of the shell; if they are connected to the conductive parts of the main body’s shell, they must not be connected to the main body system’s shell (PE).

Installation Requirements#

The DC00 controller sealing component_ angle iron can be optionally equipped as needed (it is recommended to select 4 pieces). Remove the M3 screws from the controller shell as shown in the diagram to assemble the angle irons, and then use M3 screws (provided by the customer) to fix the controller through the reserved holes of the angle irons according to the required length. For the reference dimensions of the bottom assembly, see Figure 23:

../../_images/05.jpg

Figure 23  Installation Dimension Diagram of DC00 Controller

The DC00 control cabinet should be installed in a well-ventilated and dry place, and natural convection should be used to cool the DC00 control cabinet. When the application scenario generates a large amount of heat, such as when the robot body runs at a high speed, has a large load, or brakes frequently, an external fan is required to cool the DC00 control cabinet. To ensure effective cooling through fans and natural convection, install it in the manner shown in the following figure. Ensure that a spacing of more than 100mm is reserved between each DC00 control cabinet (for heat dissipation needs), and a spacing of more than 50mm is reserved on both longitudinal sides, as shown in Figure 24.

../../_images/06.jpg

Figure 24  Installation Spacing of DC00 Control Cabinet

Power On/Off#

The DC00 control cabinet supports multiple ways of power on and off, and the usage methods are as follows:

Power On/Off Button on Teach Pendant#

The power on/off button on the teach pendant control cabinet is a micro-motion illuminated (blue) self-resetting button. When the system switch is in the ON state and the system is not started, gently press and hold the power-on button for more than 1 second, then release it; the button light will turn on, and the system will start normally and be ready for operation. When the system needs to be shut down, use the teach pendant interface to perform a normal power-off and shutdown operation. In case of system problems, you can press and hold this button for more than 3 seconds to force the system to power off (the main control cabinet data will be saved normally).

Remote Power-On and Power-Off Buttons#

Using the remote switch, the system can be turned on or off without using the power-on button on the teach pendant panel. Gently press and hold the power-on button for more than 1 second, then release it, and the system will be powered on.

The “PowerON” input works on the same principle as the power-on button. It is essential to use the “PowerOFF” input for remote shutdown. When powering off, press and hold this button for more than 3 seconds to force the system to power off. This signal allows the control cabinet to save open files and shut down normally (similar to a system soft shutdown).

For specific wiring requirements, please refer to Section 5.12.3 Remote Switch Interface.

Emergency Stop#

The emergency stop button is connected to the safety IO interface. For detailed wiring, please refer to section (b) of the 5.9.1 SIO Interface Wiring Diagram.

Note: According to the power of the IO load, two power supply modes can be selected: internal power supply and external power supply.

For internal power supply, short-circuit pin 1 with pin 2, and pin 3 with pin 4; at this time, the internal will provide 24V DC with a maximum current of 2A (as shown in the figure).

../../_images/1517.jpg

For external power supply, remove the shorting wire, connect pin 2 to an external DC24V power supply, and connect pin 4 to the 0V of the external power supply. In addition, short-circuit pin 3 with pin 4 for common grounding. After power supply is applied, the 0V of the external power supply will be connected to the 48V power supply ground of the system. Note that if the 0V of the external power supply used is short-circuited with the shell of the external power supply, the shell must not be connected to the system shell (PE) during installation. For external power supply, it can carry a maximum of 8A of 24V DC power (as shown in the figure). .. image:: ./image/16.jpg

SIO Interface#

The SIO (Safety IO) interface is an external emergency stop and safety input/output interface provided by the controller, including 1 channel of user emergency stop signal input, 1 channel of system emergency stop feedback output, 1 channel of protective stop input, 2 channels of configurable safety inputs, and 2 channels of configurable safety outputs (all safety inputs and outputs are active signals).

Among them, the emergency stop signal input, protective stop input, and configurable safety inputs are dry contact interfaces;

When using the configurable safety outputs and system emergency stop feedback output, it is recommended to use solid-state relays for transfer. It is strongly recommended to use diode protection for inductive small relays.

Note: The system emergency stop feedback output is defaulted to a high-level active output. Please note to operate after shutdown when wiring! Do not work with live electricity!

  1. Sharing Emergency Stop with Other Machines

When robots are used in conjunction with other machines, it is often necessary to set up a common emergency stop circuit. By setting up a common line, operators do not have to think about which emergency stop button to use.

Since both machines need to wait for each other to exit the emergency stop condition, the standard robot emergency stop input cannot be used for sharing. To share the emergency stop function with other machines, it must be configured through the safety inputs and safety outputs of the controller’s safety IO.

In addition, the safety output is an active signal and must be used after being transferred through a solid-state relay, as shown in Figure 13:

INC Interface Description#

Before wiring the INC, it is necessary to first check the form of the output circuit of the INC encoder. The following are examples of wiring methods for several common output forms:

Remote Switch Interface#

Using the remote switch, the system can be turned on or off without using the power-on button on the teach pendant or controller panel.

The “PowerON” input works on the same principle as the power-on button. It is essential to use the “PowerOFF” input for remote shutdown. This signal allows the controller to save open files and shut down normally (similar to a system soft shutdown).

The definition of the remote switch interface is shown in Table 22:

EtherCAT2 Interface#

The EtherCAT2 interface supports EtherCAT communication; it is reserved for backup use. It is a standard network cable interface, and the interface definition is not listed here.

ON and OFF Buttons#

The power-on button of the DC00 controller is a micro-motion illuminated (green) reset button. When the system switch is in the ON state and the system is not started, press and hold the power-on button for more than 1 second, then release it. The button light will turn on, indicating that the system has started normally and can work properly. When the system needs to be shut down, use the teach pendant interface to perform normal power-off and shutdown operations. In case of system problems, you can press and hold this button for more than 3 seconds to force the system to power off (the main controller data will be saved normally).

24V_INPUT Interface#

The 24V_INPUT interface is a DC24V power supply provided by the 48V-to-24V isolation module. In addition to supplying power to the main controller at the MCU end of the DC00 controller, it also supplies power to the RC (internal interface), IO interface, TP teach pendant, and fan respectively after being controlled by the MCU. The interface definition is shown in Table 24:

TR Interface#

The TR interface is connected to the braking resistor; when the direction of the motor’s output torque is opposite to that of its rotational speed, it indicates that energy is transmitted back from the load end to the driver. This energy feedback causes the voltage to rise. When it rises to a certain value, the feedback energy can only be consumed by the braking resistor. The definition of this interface is shown in Table 28:

The standard braking resistor is 150W, 3Ω.
