Chapter 5 - Power Chassis Installation
Connecting Robot to Adept MV Controller
The cable between the robot and the VJI module in the Adept MV controller is called the
arm signal cable. It has rectangular connectors on each end; one end has a separate
ground wire.
1. Connect the cable end with the ground wire to the matching Signal connector on
the back plate of the robot. Pull gently on the connector body to ensure it is
securely latched. See Figure 5-6. (If you need to remove this connector later, there
is a release button on the underside of the cable connector.)
2. Install the signal cable ground wire (comes out from the end of the cable next to
the rectangular connector) to the ground wire installation point at the bottom of
the back plate.
a. Remove the screw and the external-tooth lock washer from the ground wire
installation point.
b. Place the external-tooth lock washer against the back plate over the empty
hole, then place the ground wire lug over the washer. See Figure 5-6.
c. Install the screw and secure tightly.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the Arm Signal connector (lower) on the VJI
module. Tighten the screws. See Figure 5-8.
