• Current stocks serve maintenance and retrofit needs for existing machines.

Installation Guide

• Confirm the cabinet supplies 24 VDC ±10% before you connect the unit.
• Mount the control unit so airflow keeps ambient temperature within 0 to 58 °C.
• Keep relative humidity at 75%RH or less and avoid condensation on the board.
• Connect JD36A (RS-232C), JD51A (I/O Link), and CD38A (Ethernet) to matching devices.
• Add backplane I/O modules when your application needs extra communication.
• Follow FANUC B-63945EN/02 and B-63943EN/02 wiring and outline drawings.
• Check all connections before you apply power to the control.
