Please read this manual before you startup the rho4.
Store this manual in a place to which all users have access at any time.
1.1 Intended use
This instruction manual presents a comprehensive set of instructions
and information required for the standard operation of the described
products. The described products are used for the purpose of operating
with a robot control rho4.
The products described
Dhave been developed, manufactured, tested and documented in
compliance with the safety standards. These products normally pose
no danger to persons or property if they are used in accordance with
the handling stipulations and safety notes prescribed for their con-
figuration, mounting, and proper operation.
Dcomply with the requirements of
Dthe EMC Directives (89/336/EEC, 93/68/EEC and 93/44/EEC)
Dthe Low-Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC)
Dthe harmonized standards EN 50081-2 and EN 50082-2
Dare designed for operation in industrial environments, i.e.
Dno direct connection to public low-voltage power supply,
Dconnection to the medium- or high-voltage system via a trans-
former.
The following applies for application within a personal residence, in
business areas, on retail premises or in a small-industry setting:
DInstallation in a control cabinet or housing with high shield attenu-
ation.
DCables that exit the screened area must be provided with filtering
or screening measures.
DThe user will be required to obtain a single operating license is-
sued by the appropriate national authority or approval body. In
Germany, this is the Federal Institute for Posts and Telecommuni-
cations, and/or its local branch offices.
.This is a Class A device. In a residential area, this device may cause
radio interference. In such case, the user may be required to intro-
duce suitable countermeasures, and to bear the cost of the same.
The faultless, safe functioning of the product requires proper transport,
storage, erection and installation as well as careful operation.

The present manual is designed for RC technicans. They need special
knowledge on handling and programming robots.
Interventions in the hardware and software of our products, unless de-
scribed otherwise in this manual, are reserved to specialized Rexroth
personnel.
Tampering with the hardware or software, ignoring warning signs at-
tached to the components, or non-compliance with the warning notes
given in this manual may result in serious bodily injury or damage to pro-
perty.
Only electrotechnicians as recognized under IEV 826-09-01 (modified)
who are familiar with the contents of this manual may install and service
the products described.
Such personnel are
Dthose who, being well trained and experienced in their field and famil-
iar with the relevant norms, are able to analyze the jobs being carried
out and recognize any hazards which may have arisen.
Dthose who have acquired the same amount of expert knowledge
through years of experience that would normally be acquired through
formal technical training.

Danger of life through inadequate EMERGENCY-STOP devices!
EMERGENCY-STOP devices must be active and within reach in all
system modes. Releasing an EMERGENCY-STOP device must not
result in an uncontrolled restart of the system!
First check the EMERGENCY-STOP circuit, then switch the sys-
tem on!
DANGER
Danger for persons and equipment!
Test every new program before starting up a system!
DANGER
Retrofits or modifications may adversely affect the safety of the
products described!
The consequences may include severe injury, damage to equip-
ment, or environmental hazards. Possible retrofits or modifica-
tions to the system using third-party equipment therefore have to
be approved by Rexroth.
DANGER
Do not look directly into the LEDs in the optical fiber connection.
Due to their high output, this may result in eye injuries.
When the inverter is switched on, do not look into the LED or the
open end of a short connected lead.
DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL VOLTAGE
Unless described otherwise, maintenance works must be per-
formed on inactive systems! The system must be protected
against unauthorized or accidental reclosing.
Measuring or test activities on the live system are reserved to
qualified electrical personnel!

Safety Instructions
CAUTION
Danger to the module!
Do not insert or remove the module while the controller is
switched ON! This may destroy the module. Prior to inserting or
removing the module, switch OFF or remove the power supply mo-
dule of the controller, external power supply and signal voltage!
CAUTION
use only spare parts approved by Rexroth!
CAUTION
Danger to the module!
All ESD protection measures must be observed when using the
module! Prevent electrostatic discharges!
The following protective measures must be observed for modules and
components sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD)!
DPersonnel responsible for storage, transport, and handling must have
training in ESD protection.
DESD-sensitive components must be stored and transported in the
prescribed protective packaging.
DESD-sensitive components may only be handled at special ESD-
workplaces.
DPersonnel, working surfaces, as well as all equipment and tools
which may come into contact with ESD-sensitive components must
have the same potential (e.g. by grounding).
DWear an approved grounding bracelet. The grounding bracelet must
be connected with the working surface through a cable with an inte-
grated 1 MWresistor.
DESD-sensitive components may by no means come into contact with
chargeable objects, including most plastic materials.
DWhen ESD-sensitive components are installed in or removed from
equipment, the equipment must be de-energized.
