Hi It is a Robot port.

If the machine is being supplied to the USA a QM plug will be fitted.

Test Procedure for Robot Port:


1. Fit link between A and B on the QM plug
2. Run the QM test program “QM TEST”
3. When the M62 is active Measure on Ohms across C and D for continuity. Check also that LED2 and RL3 are operated.
4. Once M64 is active the circuit should be broken and RL3 and LED 2 deactivate.
5. Check the test program cycles round until you remove the link between A and B. Once the M66 is active after 10 seconds the program will stop as the M code times out.

Test Program

M62 Output 1 on
G04 X5 Delay 5 Seconds
M64 Out 1 off
G04 X5 Delay 5 Seconds
M66 Wait for Input (link between A and B)
G04 X5 Delay 5 Seconds
M99 Rewind program and restart
