Installing a Robot Controller in a Rack or Panel
Adept MV Controller User’s Guide, Rev C 39
3.11 Installing a Robot Controller in a Rack or Panel
An MV-5 or MV-10 Robot controller can be mounted in a rack or panel by using the
mounting brackets that are shipped in the accessories kit. The brackets can be attached at
the rear of the controller for panel mounting or they can be attached to the front of the
controller for rack mounting.
NOTE:
To maintain compliance with EN 60204, the mounting of the
controller and all terminations at the controller must be performed in
accordance with this standard.
Space Around the Chassis
When the Robot controller is installed, you must allow 25 mm (inch) at the top and bottom
of the chassis for proper air cooling. You must also allow 75 mm (3 inches) at the front of
the chassis for power and signal cable clearance.
CAUTION:
The air filter must be kept clean so the forced air cooling
system can work efficiently. See Chapter 14 for details on cleaning the
filter.
Rack Mounting
To rack mount the Adept MV-5 or MV-10 Robot controller in a standard 19-inch
equipment rack, you must first install the mounting brackets (see Figure 3-10), then build
an extender panel and attach it to the bracket on one side of the controller.
The controller can be joined to an Adept PA-4 power chassis and mounted in a rack. Refer
to the documentation that comes with the robot for information.
Panel Mounting
To panel mount the Adept MV-5 or MV-10 Robot controller, install one bracket on each
side near the back of the controller. Use the screws and washers from the accessories kit.
See Figure 3-10.
