7.8 External Front Panel (VFP-1)
The optional external VME front panel (VFP) is connected to the FP/MCP connector on
the SIO module. There are two types of VFP: the VFP-1 and the VFP-3. The VFP-1 is used
with all Adept systems that do not include the Manual Mode Safety Package (MMSP)
option. The VFP-1 is described in this section. The label on the back of the VFP identifies
the type – VFP-1 or VFP-3.
The VFP-3 is used with systems that have the MMSP option installed. The VFP-3 is
described in the AdeptOne-MV/AdeptThree-MV Robot Instruction Handbook.
