Chapter 3: Operation
A muted safety gate that causes an E-Stop only in Automatic mode is included. Also
included are contacts to report the status of E-Stop push-buttons and the Manu-
al/Automatic switch.
NOTE:The Adept SmartController EX motion controller ships with a ter-
minator plug attached to the XUSR connector. The terminator plug must be
installed in the absence of any user-supplied safety equipment used to close
the E-Stop circuit. Save the terminator plug, in case it is needed in the future
for troubleshooting.
For more information about the XUSR connector, see Connecting User-Sup-
plied Safety and Power-Control Equipment on page 34.

XSYS connector
Connects to the XSLV connector on an Adept robot or servo controller.
15.
XFP connector
Connects to the optional Front Panel. See Connecting User-Supplied Safety and Power-
Control Equipment on page 34 for information.
16.
XMCP connector
The optional Adept T20 pendant plugs into this connector, via the T20 adapter cable,
which has the mating connector for the XMCP connector. The controller ships with a ter-
minator plug in the XMCP connector. The plug must be installed in the absence of a
pendant or the E-Stop circuit will remain open, and you will not be able to start the sys-
tem.
17.
24 VDC connectors/switch
Connect power from a user-supplied 24 VDC power supply to the XDC1 or XDC2 con-
nector (see Connecting Power on page 21). If using an sDIO expansion module or an
sMI6 module, connect a separate cable from the unused XDC connector on the con-
troller to the XDC1 connector on the sDIO module or sMI6 module.
An On/Off switch turns the controller on or off. Any daisy-chained devices will retain
power, as the two connectors (XDC1 and XDC2) are connected to each other.
A ground screw is located immediately below the 24 VDC power jacks.
18.
Belt Encoder connector
This is a 26-pin D-Sub connector for up to four belt encoders in a conveyor-tracking
installation. See Belt Encoder Interface on page 49 for more information.
