Adept MV Controller User’s Guide, Rev C 45
4.3 Facility Requirements
The Adept MV controller is intended for use with other equipment and is considered a
sub-assembly rather than a complete piece of equipment on its own. The Adept MV
controller meets the requirements of EN 60204, IEC 1131-2, IEC 73, and IEC 447 safety
standards. To maintain compliance with these standards, the controller must be installed
and used properly with any additional equipment in strict accordance with all regulations
of the standards. For more information about safety and standards compliance, see section
1.3 on page 4, section 1.4 on page 7, and Appendix C.
The controller must be installed in a suitable enclosure, and you must provide a method of
locking the enclosure power-disconnect in the OFF position (such as padlocks). Refer to
section 5.3.3 of EN 60204.
The Adept MV controller installation must meet the environmental and electrical
requirements shown in Table 4-1 and Table 4-2.
NOTE:
Refer to Appendix A for dimension drawings on the Adept MV-8
and MV-19 controllers.
Voltage Interruptions
During a power failure, the contents of memory are not saved, and you will later have to
reload V
+
and your programs from disk. In some situations, you may find it convenient to
provide an external uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to avoid or reduce power
interruptions.
