Testing the PCIe I/O Card
NOTE: If you get no response from the I/O card, check the event log in Adept
ACE. If the line:
"Optional IO board not installed"
is shown, the Adept SmartVision EX or Adept ACE are not recognizing the I/O card.
Minimum Adept ACE Revision
The driver for the Adept SmartVision EX PCIe I/O card is shipped concurrent with Adept ACE
2.2 (image part number 28962-203) and later.
Test Procedure
You will need something connected to the inputs and outputs of the card to verify that it is
functioning correctly.
1. Connect the cable and terminal block to the I/O card.
2. Connect an appropriate device, such as an LED, to one or more of the card outputs.
This can be anything that will indicate that the card is, in fact, turning on the output line
that you select.
See the pinouts for the output channels. See
page 39
3. Open Adept ACE.
