  • System compatibility: Works with KSS robot software; parameters configurable via KCP teach pendant or WorkVisual

  • Diagnostics: LED status + detailed fault codes in KCP / WorkVisual


5. Safety Instructions

  • High voltage hazard: Intermediate circuit DC voltage up to 585 V.

    → After switching off the controller, wait at least 5 minutes for capacitors to discharge before wiring or maintenance.

  • Do not open, modify, or bypass internal components or safety circuits.

  • Keep ventilation slots free of dust and obstructions.

  • Connect all safety interlocks correctly; never bypass safety loops.

  • Ensure reliable protective earth (PE) connection for cabinet, drive, and motor.


6. Installation & Wiring

  1. Mount the drive vertically in a KRC2 cabinet slot.

  2. Connect X1 to DC intermediate circuit and 24 V control power (observe polarity).

  3. Wire X2 to motor power, brake, and encoder cables; use shielded cables with proper grounding.

  4. Servo bus: X13 IN ← controller / previous drive; X14 OUT → next drive.

  5. Connect X11 safety and I/O signals with twisted‑pair cables.

  6. Tighten all power terminals to the specified torque.


7. Operation

  • Power‑on: After controller start‑up, DC bus voltage rises automatically.

  • Standby: Green LED ON, red LED OFF → drive ready.

  • Manual mode (T1/T2): Enable permit switch; jog axes via KCP.

  • Automatic mode: Drive follows robot program (PTP / LIN / CIRC motions).

  • Fault reaction: Red LED ON, drive disables output. Read fault code via KCP / WorkVisual for troubleshooting.
