Chapter 3 - SmartController Operation
38 Adept SmartController User’s Guide, Rev. H
2. Bottom Three Status LEDs
The bottom three LEDs on the front of the SmartController give the following
information about the status of the main controller.
O = Off G = Green R = Red
If the SmartController displays an error, cycle the power off, then on again. If the
problem persists, contact Adept Customer Service.
3. SW1 DIP switches
The DIP switches define certain configuration settings (including auto boot and
user interface). See “Configuring the Controller” on page 42 for information.
4. SmartServo 1.1 and 1.2
These ports connect any Adept SmartServo-compatible product to the controller
via the IEEE-1394 cable. The 1.1 and 1.2 ports are interchangeable - either one can
be used.
5. DeviceNet connector
DeviceNet is a field bus for industrial devices. This standard supports a variety of
products, including sensors, digital I/O, analog I/O, RS-232, and PLCs. Adept
directly supports digital I/O devices and has currently qualified DeviceNet
products from Wago and Beckhoff. Other DeviceNet product types, such as
keypads and displays, can be controlled using the V
+
FCMD program instruction
(see the V+ Language Reference Guide for details).
