Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Power Off: Always ensure the robot controller is completely powered down before installing or removing the communication module to prevent electrical damage.
• ESD Precautions: Use an anti-static wrist strap during handling to protect sensitive internal circuitry from electrostatic discharge.
• Seating: Ensure the module is firmly seated in the designated slot and properly secured to prevent intermittent connection failures due to vibration.
• Wiring: Route communication cables away from high-voltage power lines to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) on the fieldbus network.
• Verification: After installation, verify the node address and baud rate settings via the controller software to ensure proper network synchronization.
