Strictly observe the following precautions when connecting the robot arm with the robot
controller.
! WARNING
In order to prevent accidents caused by electric shock, do not connect the
external power until connections between the robot arm and robot control
equipment are complete.
! CAUTION
1. Be careful when connecting the harnesses. Be sure to use the correct
harnesses. Using an incorrect harness, or forcing or misconnecting the
harness may damage connectors or cause a break in the electrical system.
2. Prevent people or equipment (forklift etc.) from stepping on or riding
over the harnesses and connection cables between transformer unit and
controller. Otherwise, the harness may become damaged or the
electrical system may break.
3. Separate the harnesses from any nearby high voltage lines (min. 1 m
apart). Do not bundle or run the harnesses in parallel with other power
lines. Otherwise, the noise generated from power lines will cause
malfunctions.
4. Even when the harnesses are long, do not bundle them winded or bended.
Bundling the harness causes the heat to build up in the harness, resulting
in over-heat and furthermore may cause fire.

E0x Series Controller 1. Safety
Kawasaki Robot Installation and Connection Manual
Strictly observe the following precautions when connecting the external power.
! DANGER
Before beginning the connection work, confirm that the external power supply
for the control equipment 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. Confirm that the connected supplying power to the controller meets
specifications shown on the rating plate. In addition, when using the
transformer unit, confirm the connected supply power meets specifications
shown on the label attached on the side of the transformer unit and connect
the voltage switching connector (X601) in accordance with the voltage
specifications. Supplying out-of-specification power will damage electric
components in the controller.
2. Earth the controller to prevent against electrical noise and shock.
3. Use dedicated earth wire (100 or less), which is equal to or larger than the
recommended power cable size (3.5 - 8.0 mm2).
4. Never share an earth line with workpiece to be welded or another machine
(weld machine, etc.).
5. In arc welding applications, connect the minus pole of the weld power supply
to a jig or directly to workpiece to be welded. Insulate the robot body and
controller so that they do not share a common earth line.
6. Without fail, before turning ON the external power to control equipment,
make sure the power supply wiring is complete and all the covers reattached
properly. Otherwise, failure to do so may cause electric shock.

3. The clearance between the bottom of the control equipment and the
floor is small (18 mm). Accordingly, hold up one side of the
controller then the other side, and get your fingers placed on the
bottom of controller body sufficiently before holding up the
controller. Because the controller has mass (E01, E02, E04:40 kg,
E03:45 kg, Transformer unit: 45 kg), it is impossible to carry the
controller with fingertips.
4. It is impossible to carry the control equipment by two persons when
the controller is combined with the transformer unit, because the
total mass is 90 kg. Carry the control equipment by crane lifting or
carry the controller and the transformer unit separately after
disconnecting them.
33
E0x Series Controller 5. Arrangement of Robot Control Equipment
Kawasaki Robot Installation and Connection Manual
In order for the controller to maintain the proper internal temperature, the installation site must
conform to the four points below. Horizontal arrangement is the standard for E0x controllers.
When an object is placed on the top surface of the controller, the mass should be 45 kg or less.
It is possible to place a controller on another controller as far as the mass goes. However,
when an object is placed on the top surface of the controller, it is necessary to remove the
object once in maintenance.
1. Arrange the controller on a flat, horizontal stand and adjust its height so that the heights of
controller power switch and operation switches from the floor are between 0.6 to 1.9 m.
(Provide a clearance of rubber feet height in the vertical direction because there is an air
inlet on the bottom.)
2. Provide a clearance of 100 mm or more between the controller right/left side and the wall.
3. Provide a clearance of 20 mm or more between the controller top surface and the wall.

E0x Series Controller 6. Connection Instructions
Kawasaki Robot Installation and Connection Manual
! CAUTION
1. When connecting the harnesses, be sure to use the correct harnesses. Using an
incorrect harness, or forcing or misconnecting the harness may damage
connectors or cause a break in the electrical system.
2. Prevent people or equipment (forklift etc.) from stepping on or riding over the
signal and motor harness lines. Otherwise, the harness may become damaged or
the electrical system may break.
3. Even when the harnesses are long, do not bundle them winded or bended.
Bundling the harness causes the heat to build up in the harness, resulting in
over-heat and furthermore may cause fire.
4. Separate the harnesses from any nearby high voltage lines (min. 1 m apart). Do
not bundle or run the harnesses in parallel with other power lines. Otherwise,
the noise generated from power lines will cause malfunctions.
5. 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 connect the mesh wire to an adequate FG
terminal. Otherwise, PWM noise radiated from the robot’s motor drive lines
may penetrate into various cables, such as communication cable and cause
communication errors.
6. Separate the welder secondary cable from the robot’s signal harness. Do not
wire them in the same duct.
7. The motor harness (power line) between the robot and controller will generate
PWM 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) Do not wire the power and signal line within the same duct/conduit.
(5) Set and secure a firm earth line connection for the controller.

E0x Series Controller 7. Connection of External Power
Kawasaki Robot Installation and Connection Manual
Strictly observe the following precautions when connecting the external power.
! DANGER
Before beginning the connection work, confirm that the external power supply
for the control equipment 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. Confirm that the connected supplying power to the controller meets
specifications shown on the rating plate. In addition, when using the
transformer unit, confirm the connected supply power meets specifications
shown on the label attached on the side of the transformer unit and connect
the voltage switching connector (X601) in accordance with the voltage
specifications. Supplying out-of-specification power will damage electric
components in the controller.
2. Earth the controller to prevent against electrical noise and shock.
3. Use dedicated earth wire (100 or less), which is equal to or larger than the
recommended power cable size (3.5 - 8.0 mm2).
4. Never share an earth line with workpiece to be welded or another machine
(weld machine, etc.).
5. In arc welding applications, connect the minus pole of the weld power supply
to a jig or directly to workpiece to be welded. Insulate the robot body and
controller so that they do not share a common earth line.
6. Without fail, before turning ON the external power to control equipment,
make sure the power supply wiring is complete and all the covers reattached
properly. Otherwise, failure to do so may cause electric shock.
50
E0x Series Controller 7. Connection of External Power
Kawasaki Robot Installation and Connection Manual
! CAUTION
1. Prepare external power that meets the specifications of the control
equipment in terms of momentary power interruption, voltage fluctuation,
power capacity, etc. If the power is interrupted or the voltage goes out of
the control equipment’s 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 of electrical noise, set up a noise filter to
reduce the interference.
3. PWM noise from robot motor lines may cause malfunction of low noise-
resistant devices via external power line. Confirm that there are no such
devices in the vicinity.
4. Install a separate external power switch (breaker) for the robot,
independent and unconnected to the weld machine.
5. To prevent shorting or accidental leakage on the external power switch,
install an earth leakage breaker. (Use a time delay type with sensitivity of
100 mA or more.) Also, use a time-delay-type earth leakage breaker with
sensitivity of 100 mA or more when using a transformer unit.
6. If there is a possibility that surge voltage such as lightning surge might be
applied from external power line, decrease the surge voltage level by
mounting a surge absorber.
7. For the controller with electric power regeneration function (E03), the AC
line voltage of breaker on the secondary side may increase up to the peak
value in the table below if the power breaker supplying the AC power to the
controller (NFB in the figure below) is cut. Mind this when other
equipment shares the common power from the same breaker with the
controller.
NOTE* Proximity switch directly connected with power line etc. may suffer from the
influence.

! 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
signals 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 cables and the power lines close together or in
parallel as much as possible. Separate the cables and lines by at least 20 cm.
(either in or outside the controller) Electromagnetic induction noise from the
robot motor cable, the power lines for peripheral equipment, welding cable,
etc. may penetrate into the I/O cables and lead to malfunction.
5. Use a shield cable for the external I/O cable and connect the shield wire to the
controller cabinet.
6. When connecting I/O cables to connectors or terminals, fix them with tying
bands in the harness support set on the top of the controller, preventing them
from excessive force. (pulling, snagging of cable, etc.)
