Where did you locate this information from?

Page 3-22 of the D controller electrical maintenance manual. I found this tidbit earlier today while looking for the pinout.

Quick Update kwakisaki: Thanks to your tidbit about the FS originally being meant for the C controller(and some other posts on this forum) I was able to find the pinout for the C controller that matches the FS10E on page 3-33 in the C electrical maintenance manual. I will proceed with caution(using only the 60VAC specifically for teach mode), but I believe I have the required information to modify the cable to match the setup. I appreciate your input on my questions.

F Series Arms were first introduced for C Controllers.

From memory I think the umbilicals for Controller and Arm were Harting connectors.

When D Controller was released, the Controller side changed to ILME connectors instead and the arm remained the same.....(this is from memory).

I am pretty sure the pinout was identical though.

If you haven't got the correct umbilicals, I would suggest to obtain them, splicing an otherwise different cable together, carries some obvious risks.

What is the part no. of the incorrect cable you have?

In the electrical maintenance manual it describes the controller end as ILME(which I know to be the Harting brand at least for this controller) and the robot end as Molex connectors. Pg 3-33 and 3-34.

The cable I received with the robot seems to fit the description between a C controller and a FS robot with a Molex connector on either side(one male, one female). I have 52 available pins for the Signal Harness and 40 pins available for the Motor Harness from the robot. Perhaps if I find documentation on the C controller I can put a name to each pin at least.

Seeing as the FS10E was paired with the D30 I hoped I could determine which pins were used and rewire this cable, avoiding any pins not required by the FS10E on the D30 side.

I'm afraid these cables are not labeled with a part number. If I had to guess based on the spare parts list it would be:

50979-2068L05 HARNESS-ASSY-SEPARATE,MTR 1 MOTOR C(ILME/HART-MOLEX) L=5M

and

50979-2028L05 HARNESS-ASSY-SEPARATE,SIG 1 SIGNAL(ILME/HART-MOLEX) L=5M

Please take the time to read the manuals I have posted, you will find the relevant information you require located in one those.

*** Hint, Troubleshooting Manual.

Though I still feel I am missing something, I appreciate your input. I see on page 5-2 and 5-3 the pinout for the controller side of the cable, but the opposite side that connects to the robot is a different connector for both cables with differing pins. I'll keep looking though, I'm sure I will be able to patch together enough information to match up the pins.

Thanks for the response. I have figured out how to power it, but I'll need a way to fix the cable ends to match the controller.. Any chance anyone has the pinout diagram for the FS10E power and I/O cables? The cable I got with the robot is incorrect on one end and will need to be rewired for the plug.

I realize this is an old thread, but I hope someone is listening still. I recently got a FS10E and D30 controller from auction. I would be delighted to find any documentation regarding it, especially an electrical maintenance manual. Thank you in advance!
