Replacing the Encoder Backup Batteries
The encoder built in the servomotor stores position data. To prevent the position data from being lost, the encoder backup batteries supply power to the encoder memory.
Periodically replace the encoder backup batteries that are loaded in the robot unit. In the event of using the external battery unit, replace the battery of the external battery unit. For detail, please refer to "External Battery Unit (1)".
1
Make two new backup batteries ready for use.
2
Turn the controller power OFF.
3
Remove the cover from the Encoder Backup Battery Box.
Refer to "Encoder Backup Battery Box".
Protected type robots (IP67) or Dust- & splash-proof type robots (IP54) have an O-ring on the inside of the cover. Take care not to break the O-ring.
4
Replace the backup batteries using the procedure below.
First join the connector of a new battery to an empty connector on the robot unit, disconnect and remove the old battery, then load the new one.
During replacement, at least one battery should be connected. Disconnecting all batteries loses position data.
Be sure to replace all batteries with new ones at one time. Using old and new batteries together shortens the service life.
5
Put the cover back to the Encoder Backup Battery Box.
