Appendix C - Dual Adept 550 Robots
C.1 Introduction
All of the information in this user's guide is applicable to the Dual Adept 550 robot con-
figuration. This appendix describes some additional considerations when working with
this product.
Dual Adept 550 Robot System Description
A Dual Adept 550 robot system consists of the following components:
• two standard Adept 550 robots, no modifications required
• an Adept MV-8 or -19 controller with two VJI modules installed
• an Adept PA-4 power chassis with four Dual B amplifier modules installed, or two
PA-4 power chassis with two amplifier modules in each chassis.
• a Dual Adept SCARA Kinematics License and a V
C.2 Installation
The installation process for the system is the same as described in Chapter 4 and
Chapter 5, except that there are two VJI modules in the Adept MV controller, and four
amplifier modules in either one or two power chassis.
VMEbus Address for VJI Module
If you purchased both Adept 550 robots at the same time as part of a Dual Adept 550 robot
system, then the two VJI modules will be configured at the factory for the correct VMEbus
address.
If you are upgrading or installing a 2nd VJI as a replacement part, then you should check
the VJI address setting to make sure it is configured correctly; it should be set as Servo
Board 3. See the VJI chapter in the Adept MV Controller User's Guide for the correct switch
setting.
Adept PA-4 Power Chassis
Each Adept 550 robot requires two Dual B amplifier modules, resulting in a total of four
amplifier modules per Dual Adept 550 robot system. If you are using the Model 3303
power chassis, then you must use two separate power chassis, and install two amplifier
modules in each power chassis.
If you are using the Model 3306 power chassis, you can purchase one power chassis and
install all four amplifier modules in one chassis; or you can purchase two power chassis,
and install two amplifier modules in each power chassis.
