132 Adept MV Controller User’s Guide, Rev C
11.1 Introduction
The Adept VME Joint Interface (VJI) module is a 6U single-slot VME module designed to
control the motion axes on an Adept robot. The VJI module has connectors for the power
chassis cable and the arm (robot) signal cable. There is another connector for external
encoders, typically used for belt tracking.
See the user’s guide for your Adept robot for complete information on installation,
configuration, and operation of the VJI module and your robot.
