IO Blox
The Adept IO Blox device is designed for adding digital input and output capability to
Adept products, including Adept Python modules. The IO Blox offers 8 inputs and 8
outputs, all optically isolated. You can connect up to four IO Blox devices to the first and
last MB-10 amp in the system.
IO Blox modules can be mounted onto Adept Python Modules systems in the following
ways:
• Onto the MB-10 T-bracket cover (see
• Onto the end cap of an L18 module (see
• Onto a module T-slot (see
• Onto a Z-axis harness enclosure (see
IO Blox can also be mounted on a DIN rail. See the following illustrations for examples of
IO Blox devices mechanical mounting. See the
installation details.
The following IO Blox device configurations are available:
• One IO Blox mounted on the first MB-10 amp T-bracket cover
• Two IO Blox devices: one on the first MB-10 amp T-bracket cover, one on the
module body
• Three IO Blox devices: one on the first MB-10 amp T-bracket cover, two on the
module body
• Four IO Blox devices: one on the first MB-10 amp T-bracket cover, three on the
module body
• One IO Blox on the Y-axis module MB-10 amp T-bracket cover or the Z-axis
harness enclosure
• Two IO Blox devices: one on the Y-axis module MB-10 amp T-bracket cover and
one on the module body, or one on the Z-axis harness enclosure and one on the
module body
• Two IO Blox devices: one on the first MB-10 amp T-bracket cover, one on the
Z-axis harness enclosure
• Four IO Blox devices: two on the first and last MB-10 amps, on the T-bracket cover,
the Z-axis harness enclosure, and the module body
