SmartController CS Connectors and Indicators
Adept SmartController User’s Guide, Rev. H 39
6. Ethernet (Eth 10/100) connector
The shielded RJ-45 receptacle supports 10/100 BaseT Ethernet communications.
NOTE: The default IP address for the controller is located on a label on the
bottom side of the controller chassis.
7. RS-232 and RS-422/485 connectors
These ports support RS-232 and RS-422/485 devices, respectively. See
“SmartController Serial I/O Connectors” on page 44 for pin descriptions and
locations.
8. XDIO connector
This connector includes 20 signal pairs; 8 digital outputs (100 mA max) and 12
digital inputs, including four fast inputs (the first four input signals on this
connector are the only input signals that can be configured as fast inputs). The
digital outputs are short-circuit protected. This connector also supplies 24 VDC
power for customer equipment. See Section 3.8 on page 59 for more information.
9. XUSR connector
Provides switch functions for emergency stop (E-Stop) and Manual/Automatic
interfaces to external push-buttons and other equipment. For example, an
external E-Stop can be connected to the XUSR connector. A line E-Stop from other
equipment can be connected. 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 Manual/Automatic switch.
NOTE: The SmartController ships with a terminator plug attached to the
XUSR connector. The terminator plug must be installed in the absence of
any customer-supplied safety equipment used to close the E-Stop circuit.
For more information about the XUSR connector, see Section 3.7 on
page 49.
10. XSYS connector
Connects to the XSLV connector on an Adept robot or servo controller.
11. XFP connector
Connects to the Front Panel. See Section 3.7 on page 49 for information.
12. XMCP connector
The optional Adept T1/T2 Pendant plugs into this connector, via the T1/T2
Pendant Adapter cable, which has the mating connector for the XMPC. The
SmartController ships with a terminator plug attached to the XMCP connector.
The terminator plug must be installed in the absence of a pendant. If nothing is
connected to the XMCP, then the E-Stop circuit is open, and you will not be able
to start the system.
If you are using an MCP:
The Manual Control Pendant (MCP) plugs into this connector. The
SmartController works with the MCP-III or MCP-4. Older Adept MCP units will
not work because they do not incorporate the dual E-Stop channels.
The MCP-4 (P/N 90332-12506) requires a special 6' MCP-4 adapter cable
