Chapter 10 - AdeptMotion Interface Module (MI6/MI3)
126 Adept MV Controller User’s Guide, Rev C
10.1 Introduction
The AdeptMotion Interface (MI6/MI3) module is a 6U single-slot VME module designed
to control motion axes for use with the AdeptMotion VME product. The MI6 module
controls 6 axes of motion, the MI3 controls 3 axes of motion. Each module has servo drive
outputs, incremental encoder inputs, and digital I/O for machine and amplifier control.
See the AdeptMotion VME Developer’s Guide for complete information on installation,
configuration, and operation of the AdeptMotion VME product.
10.2 Connections and Indicators
➊
Red Status LED’s. When lit:
ES – indicates a latched E-Stop signal on the backplane has
been asserted from the MI6 module or somewhere else in the
system.
F1 – indicates a fault condition exists on Axis 1. The cause
could be an Overtravel or a Drive Fault, same for axes 2
through 6.
F2 – indicates a fault condition exists on Axis 2.
F3 – indicates a fault condition exists on Axis 3.
F4 – indicates a fault condition exists on Axis 4.
F5 – indicates a fault condition exists on Axis 5.
F6 – indicates a fault condition exists on Axis 6.
➋
Yellow Status LED’s. When lit:
HPE – indicates the High Power Enable signal is asserted.
DE1 – indicates the Drive Enable signal is asserted for Axis 1.
DE2 – indicates the Drive Enable signal is asserted for Axis 2.
DE3 – indicates the Drive Enable signal is asserted for Axis 3.
DE4 – indicates the Drive Enable signal is asserted for Axis 4.
DE5 – indicates the Drive Enable signal is asserted for Axis 5.
DE6 – indicates the Drive Enable signal is asserted for Axis 6.
➌
Encoder connector – a 44 pin D-Sub female connector for the
encoder cable to interface to encoder signals in the
installation.
➍
Machine connector – a 44 pin D-Sub female connector for the
machine cable to interface to the machine signals in the
installation.
➎
Servo connector – a 44 pin D-Sub female connector for the
servo cable to interface to the servo signals in the installation.
