Installing Non-Adept Peripherals in an A-Series System
You can use third-party monitors, keyboards, and pointing devices with an Adept MV
controller system. The equipment must be compatible with certain standards to work
successfully with the Adept MV controller; see the following sections for details. Note that
the Adept-supplied monitor and keyboard are certified to meet the requirements of
EN 60204-1 and other international standards. Installation of a non-Adept peripheral may
not meet these standards.
Third-Party Monitor Compatibility
If you choose to use a color monitor other than the one supplied by Adept, you must make
sure the monitor meets the specifications shown in Table 3-5. Also, see Table 8-2 for the
pin assignments for the monitor connector on the VGB module.
Third-Party Keyboard Compatibility
The Adept MV controller can interface to keyboards that are “AT” compatible and use a
standard DIN 5 connector. See Chapter 8 for the pin assignments on the connector.
Third-Party Pointing Device Compatibility
The Adept MV controller can interface to any mouse, trackball, or other pointing device
that uses the Microsoft mouse serial protocol (1200 bps). The connector must be a 9-pin
D-sub; the pin assignments are given in Chapter 8.
This port can alternatively be used for a touchscreen using ELO TouchSystems protocol.
See Chapter 8 for configuration and compatibility. If you install a touchscreen, you must
disconnect the trackball (or mouse), you cannot use more than one pointing device.
