The maximum current rating of a thick cable trunk line is 8A.Verify that this complies with your national and international standards. It might be necessary to limit the maximum current to a lower value if standards in the U.S. or Canada apply. The maximum current value is a theoretical value.
When a CAT-3 SmartController system is operating in Auto Mode, the Enable Switch on the MCP has no effect on the operation. This means in the Auto mode, the Enable switch does not have to be pressed to enable High Power, and releasing the Enable switch while running will not turn off High Power.
The 3-position enable switch on the MCP-4 works as follows (see Position 1 - switch is not pressed, high power cannot be enabled. (Switch is open.) Position 2 - switch is pressed in to the middle position, high power can be enabled. (Switch is closed.) Position 3 - switch is pressed in past the middle position, high power is removed.
The MCP-4 has a dual-channel (four-wire) E-Stop circuit where the switch contacts are in parallel. This is different from the MCP III where the switch contacts are in series. This difference affects how the MCP-4 is used in various Adept systems.

• For an MCP-4, install the MCP adapter cable between the MCP and the controller. The dongle is not required for the MCP-4. The pendant emergency stop switch and the palm-activated enabling switch are wired into the emergency stop circuitry. Therefore, either the pendant or the optional pendant jumper plug must be attached to this connector.
Display (LCD) User LED EDIT Speed Bars MCP Enable Switch Programmable Function Buttons Soft Buttons The soft buttons have different functions depending on the application program being run, or the selection made from the predefined function buttons. Whenever a soft button is active, its function is shown on the bottom line of the pendant display.
Emergency Stop From the MCP To immediately halt program execution and turn off High Power, press the emergency stop switch on the MCP. This switch has the same effect as pressing the emergency stop switch on the Front Panel. Adept SmartController User’s Guide, Rev. E...
When the system is operating in Automatic Mode and you release the Enable switch (or go to position 3 in the 3-position switch), the system turns off the same as an E-stop condition. To re-enable high power you must follow the steps from the previous section.
Background Mode The pendant is in background mode when the USER LED is not lit and none of the predefined functions are being used. The USER LED is lit whenever an application program is making use of the MCP. The MCP will not return to background mode until the program completes execution or is aborted.

Appendix C - Using the Manual Control Pendant (MCP) AUTO START EDIT Figure C-10. Command (CMD) Function Button The AUTO START, CALIB, CMD1, and CMD2 functions require the MCP to be in Auto mode. If one of these function buttons is pressed while the MCP is in Manual mode, the MCP prompts you to place the keyswitch in the Auto position.
CMD1 and CMD2 When CMD1 is pressed, the system attempts to load the file CMD1.V2 from the default disk, and COMMAND the program CMD1. The program file CMD1.V2 must reside on the default disk, and it must contain a command program named “cmd1”.

Emergency Stop Switch The emergency stop switch will stop program execution and turn off High Power. If your robot is equipped with brakes, they will be activated. COMP/PWR Button If High Power is enabled, the COMP/PWR button selects computer mode. If the system is in AUTO mode and High Power is disabled, the COMP/PWR button enables High Power and selects computer mode.
The Disable Power button will shut down High Power to the robot or motion device when pressed. Unlike the emergency stop switch, the Disable Power Button initiates a controlled stop, where the robot is decelerated under software control. After the robot has stopped, power is turned off.
In Comp Mode See the description of the Step Button on Fast Slow Figure C-13. Speed Bars Slow Button The slow button selects between the two different speed ranges of the speed bars. When the slow button LED is lit, the slower speed range is selected. This slower speed is 25% of the normal MCP speed.
Appendix C - Using the Manual Control Pendant (MCP) Figure C-14. WORLD State (Four-Axis SCARA) The T button cycles the gripper solenoids. Press anywhere on the “+” side of the speed bar to open the gripper, on the “–” side to close the gripper. NOTE: This is the most common gripper setup.
NOTE: Figure C-15 Figure C-16 the TOOL transformation is set to NULL (all values are 0). If a TOOL transformation is in effect, the tool coordinate system will be offset and rotated by the value of the TOOL transformation. Any motion in tool state will now be relative to the offset coordinate system, and not the center of the tool flange.

Joint State When joint state is selected, movement is about the axis of the specified joint. shows an Adept SCARA robot with three rotational joints (Joints 1, 2, and 4) and one translational joint (Joint 3). Positive rotation of joints 1 and 2 is counterclockwise as viewed from above.
Appendix C - Using the Manual Control Pendant (MCP) Figure C-18 shows the joint assignments for a typical six-axis robot (as always, the first time you move a robot, carefully verify the joint assignments). Figure C-18. JOINT State (Six-Axis Robot) Free State When free state is selected, individual joints are freed from servo control, and the robot brakes (if any) are released.
WARNING: control buttons, the related joint is free to move (in some cases, multiple joints may be freed up). In many cases the weight on the joint will be sufficient to move the joint and cause damage or harm. For example, when joint 3 on a SCARA or Cartesian robot is freed, the joint is free to fall to the end of its travel.
Appendix C - Using the Manual Control Pendant (MCP) Table C-2. Controlling More Than One Robot DEV LED state FLASHING The MCP selection cycles from one robot to the next each time the DEV/F3 key is pressed. Be careful when recording positions with the MCP; the position recorded by HERE or TEACH commands depends on the robot that is currently selected by the monitor or program and not on the robot selected by the MCP.
