Chapter 5 - 030 Processor Module
60 Adept MV Controller User’s Guide, Rev C
5.1 Introduction
All Adept MV controllers require at least one system processor module; the module can
be an 030 or an 040. You can have both 030 and 040 modules installed, up to a maximum
of 4 modules. 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 68EC030
microprocessor running at 40 MHz. The module can be configured with 2, 4, or 8 MB of
DRAM. This module also includes a Motorola 68882 math coprocessor. See the next
chapter for information on the 040 module.
The 030 has two serial I/O connectors on the front of the module: one is an RS-232 port
and the other is an RS-422/485 port. In an S-Series Adept MV controller, the
programmer’s terminal connects through the RS-232 port on the 030 module. (In an
A-Series controller, the monitor and keyboard connect to the Adept VGB module.)
The 030 can be used either as the main system processor, or as an auxiliary processor in
Adept MV controller systems; see section 5.7.
5.2 Connections and Indicators
➊
Status LED’s. When lit:
OK indicates this module has passed V
+
start-up test.
1 - 4 are for Adept Service use only.
➋
DIP Switch (4 position) –
1, 2, 3 are not used and should be set to OFF.
4 is for Adept internal use only and should be set to OFF.
➌
RS-422/485 connector – for general serial communication.
➍
RS-232/Term connector – terminal connection with an
S-Series controller; can be used for serial communication
with an A-Series model. See page 62 for more information on
this connector when used with an A-Series model.
