Now, after a few months without any abb robots, we received a new “used” IRB1200 robot with this different irc5 compact m2004 controller (see the other photo).
The work cell has not been modified, so we were wanted to simply connect these connectors to the controller and start again our job, but we can’t figure how to do it because we can’t find the plugs.
Unfortunately the I/O connection plugs are different between the two versions.
you will need to use the XS7 I/O connector which has soldered connections, alternatively you could open the lid and connect directly to the I/O module which are spring cage or screw type connectors..
At the end I can’t disassemble the connectors, so I’m trying to contact ABB service to know if they can provide me any adaptors. I’ll update this thread if i find any solutions.
