Adept MV-8 Controller
The Adept MV-8 controller is an 8-slot chassis. It requires two modules: the System
Processor module (030 or 040) and the System Input/Output (SIO) module. The System
Processor module takes one slot and the System Input/Output module takes two slots.
The remaining five slots can be populated with various combinations of optional Adept
modules; see Figure 2-2.
The Adept MV-8 chassis has a user-configurable 115/230 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-19 Controller
The Adept MV-19 controller is a 19-slot chassis. The required system processor (030 or
040) and SIO modules occupy 3 slots, as in the Adept MV-8, leaving 16 slots open for
optional modules. The Adept MV-19 is designed to fit in a standard 19-inch rack-mount
equipment cabinet.
The Adept MV-19 chassis has a user-configurable 115/230 VAC single-phase, 500-watt
power supply. Forced air cooling is provided by two fans in the lower section of the
chassis. Incoming air is cleaned by a reusable filter.
