5.7 Use as an Auxiliary Processor
Additional 030 System processor modules can be installed in an Adept MV controller and
used as auxiliary processors to handle specific functions in an Adept automation system.
For example, you can have an auxiliary 030 dedicated to handling processing for the
motion or vision portion of a system, while the main 030 handles the V
+
system
processing. The
CONFIG_C
utility program is used to specify which portions of the system
software are handled by each processor. See the V
+
Release Notes for more information on
multiple processor systems. See Table 5-8 and Table 5-9 for switch and jumper settings
required for auxiliary processors.
The serial ports on an auxiliary processor cannot be accessed by V
+
programs running on
the main processor (processor #1).
