Adept MV Controller User’s Guide, Rev C 15
Adept S-Series Option
The standard configuration for the Adept MV controller is the Adept S-Series option
consisting of a character-based user interface for the V
+
language and a
customer-supplied terminal. The system programmer uses the terminal to write, edit, test,
and store application programs. The terminal can also be used as an operator interface.
The Adept S-Series configuration is often used in applications not requiring AdeptVision
VME, AIM software, or any other advanced A-Series features.
2.4 Standard Modules
This section gives a brief description of the standard modules. Each module is covered in
more detail in a separate chapter in this user’s guide.
System Processor (030 or 040)
A System Processor module is required for all Adept MV controllers, and it can be either
an 030 or an 040 module. Either of these modules can also be used as an auxiliary system
processor in Adept systems; see “Auxiliary Processor” on page 18.
030 Module
The 030 is a single-slot 6U VME module that can serve as the main system processor for an
Adept MV controller. The CPU for this module is a Motorola 68030 microprocessor
running at 40 MHz. The module can be configured with 2, 4, or 8 MB of DRAM (Dynamic
Random Access Memory), and this memory can be upgraded in the field. This module
also includes a Motorola 68882 math coprocessor.
The 030 module has two serial I/O ports on the front of the module: one is an RS-232 port,
and the other is an RS-422/485 port.
040 Module
The 040 module is a single-slot 6U VME module that can serve as the main system
processor for an Adept MV controller. The CPU for this module is a Motorola 68040
microprocessor running at a minimum of 25 MHz. The module can be ordered with 4 or 8
MB of DRAM. It is not possible to upgrade a 4 MB module to an 8 MB module.
The 040 module has two serial I/O ports on the front of the module: one is an RS-232 port,
and the other is an RS-422 port.
System Input/Output Module (SIO)
The System Input/Output module (SIO) is also required for all Adept MV controllers. The
SIO is a two-slot 6U VME module that handles the basic I/O for an Adept MV controller.
The SIO module features include:
• 3.5" high-density 1.44 MB floppy drive
• Internal hard drive (Š 80 MB)
• Digital I/O connector for 20 channels (12 input, 8 output)
• Three general-purpose RS-232 serial I/O ports
