7.10 User-Supplied External Front Panel
We recommend using an Adept-supplied external front panel (VFP). However, the
following details are supplied in case you decide to make your own front panel. If a
user-supplied external front panel is connected to the Adept MV controller, it must be
designed to meet, and all equipment used must be compliant with, EN 60204 and all other
applicable international and local regulations.
Construction of Cable from SIO to VFP
Pinout: as shown in Table 7-9. Wire gauge: 28 AWG (0.089 mm
2
).
Use twisted pair (13 pairs) cable with overall shield. Twist pairs as follows: 1-2, 3-4, 5-8,
9-10, 11-13, 12-23, 14-16, 15-17, 18-24, 19-20, 21-22, 25-26. Connect shield to shell of
connector at both ends.
The Auxiliary Enable input (pin 25) is reserved for future use. It should be connected to
pin 26 whenever the system power is enabled (that is, whenever pin 19 is connected to
pin 7).
MCP Connector
If you are building your own front panel, you will need a mating receptacle to mate for the
MCP connector. The following table gives details on the MCP connector.
Table 7-8. MCP Connector: Manufacturer’s Information
Manufacturer: AMP Inc. “CPC” connector, Series 1, size 17, 16-pin. Pin and socket inserts sold
separately (Size 16, type III+). See page 91 for AMP phone numbers.
