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 any of the above errors, cycle the power off, then on again. If
the problem persists, then 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 SmartServo-compatible product to the controller; including
SmartModules, Servo Kits, AdeptSix robots, Adept Cobra s600 or s800 robots, sMI6, sDIO, and
FireBlox amplifiers. The 1.1 and 1.2 ports are interchangeable, either one can be used. (Note: on
early SmartController CS models, these ports were labeled IEEE-1394.)
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).
