Appendix C - Using the Manual Control Pendant (MCP)
152 Adept SmartController User’s Guide, Rev. H
Robots with More Than Six Joints
In JOINT mode, each of the six buttons is used to control a specific joint of the robot. If the
robot has more than six joints, the F2/J7-J12 key can be used to access the 7th to 12th
joints. Only the robot currently selected by the MCP is affected. The currently selected
joint is shown by the state of the LED on the joint/axis key as described below. If you
press the key for joint 1, and the LED is steady, you are controlling joint 1. If you press
F2/J7-J12, then press the key for joint 1, the LED will flash, indicating that you are
controlling joint 7.
The MCP cycles from one range to the other each time the F2/J7-J12 key is pressed.
