Perform the steps below to unpack the Adept SmartController, and optional Adept sDIO
Expansion Module, optional Front Panel, and optional Manual Control Pendant (MCP).
Then, see the later sections for information on mounting the equipment.
1. Remove the Adept SmartController and any optional sDIO from their boxes.
Place them near the robot, or mount them in a rack. See “Mounting the
SmartController” on page 24.
2. Remove the optional Front Panel from its box and set it on a flat surface near the
Adept SmartController.
3. Remove the optional MCP from its box and place it on a flat surface near the Front
Panel.
Repacking for Relocation
If the controller needs to be relocated, reverse the steps in the installation procedure.
Reuse all original packing containers and materials and follow all safety notes used for
installation. Improper packaging for shipment will void your warranty.
Space Around the Chassis
When the SmartController and/or sDIO is installed, you must allow 10 mm at the back of
the unit and 13 mm on the sides of the unit for proper air cooling. To facilitate installation,
make sure that the factory installed CompactFlash Memory Card is in place within the
SmartController prior to mounting it. This is crucial if you plan to mount it in a way that
restricts access to the side of the unit, and thus to the CompactFlash Memory
compartment (see the “CompactFlash Memory Card” section on page 28 for
information).
Mounting the SmartController
The following mounting options are available for the SmartController:
• Rack
•Panel
•Table
In addition, the SmartController and sDIO can be stack mounted (one unit placed on top
of another). See the sections below for information on mounting the SmartController;
page 93 for information on mounting the sDIO.
NOTE: To maintain compliance with EN 60204 in European installations,
the mounting of the controller and all terminations at the controller must
be performed in accordance with this standard.
