12 Adept MV Controller User’s Guide, Rev C
2.1 Introduction
The Adept MV series controllers are based on the VMEbus specification, and the slide-in
modules are designed to the 6U VME size. There are four models of controllers, the Adept
MV-5, MV-8, MV-10, and the Adept MV-19.
2.2 Controller Models
Adept MV-5 Controller
The Adept MV-5 controller is a 5-slot chassis that is available in either a stand-alone or
robot configuration; see Figure 2-1. The stand-alone version stands horizontally and can
be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. The robot version stands vertically and
can be joined to an Adept PA-4 power chassis, and the joined units can be mounted in a
standard 19-inch equipment rack.
The Adept MV-5 requires two modules: the System Processor module (030 or 040) and the
System Input/Output (SIO) module. The System Processor module occupies backplane
slot 1 and the System Input/Output module occupies slots 2 and 3. The remaining two
slots can be populated with various combinations of optional Adept modules; see
Figure 2-2.
The Adept MV-5 chassis has an auto-ranging 100-120/200-240 VAC single-phase, 250-watt
power supply. The chassis is cooled by a fan located in the lower front section. Incoming
air is cleaned by a reusable filter.
Adept MV-10 Controller
The Adept MV-10 controller is a 10-slot chassis that is available in either a stand-alone or
robot configuration; see Figure 2-1. The stand-alone version stands horizontally and can
be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. The robot version stands vertically and
can be joined to an Adept PA-4 power chassis, and the joined units can be mounted in a
standard 19-inch equipment rack.
The Adept MV-10 requires two modules: the System Processor module (030 or 040) and
the System Input/Output (SIO) module. The System Processor module occupies
backplane slot 1 and the System Input/Output module typically occupies slots 2 and 3.
The remaining seven slots can be populated with various combinations of optional Adept
modules; see Figure 2-2.
The Adept MV-10 chassis has an auto-ranging 100-120/200-240 VAC single-phase,
350-watt power supply. The chassis is cooled by a fan located in the lower front section.
Incoming air is cleaned by a reusable filter.
