6. Selection Recommendations
- Compatibility: Verify compatibility with your robot controller (e.g., ABB IRC5 or newer).
- I/O Requirements: Match channel counts (16 inputs/outputs) to your application’s needs.
- Environment: Opt for IP67-rated variants (if available) for wet or dusty environments.
7. Precautions
- Installation: Follow ABB’s ESD protection guidelines; use anti-static wrist straps during handling.
- Configuration: Calibrate I/O signals via RobotStudio to avoid miscommunication errors.
- Maintenance: Monitor module temperature (≤55°C); replace every 5–7 years (based on usage).
