Figure 1-1. Adept sMI6 Module System Overview Adept SmartMotion has been designed to function as an integral part of Adept’s control system. Typical components include an Adept SmartController (CS or CX model), one or more sMI6 modules, MP6 panels, a manual control pendant, a desktop or laptop PC, and a user-supplied mechanism with servomotors, encoders, and amplifiers.
The Adept sMI6 Motion Interface module is a six-channel unit that runs the Adept SmartMotion product. The sMI6 module is a stand-alone unit designed to control a total of six motion axes or external encoders. Each sMI6 module has six servo drive outputs, six incremental encoder inputs, and digital I/O for machine and amplifier control.
The program controlling these other devices may cause them to operate unexpectedly. Make sure that safeguards are in place to prevent personnel from entering the workcell when a program is running. Adept SmartMotion Installation Guide, Rev. B...
Chapter 1 - Introduction Adept Technology highly recommends the use of additional safety features such as light curtains, safety gates, or safety floor mats to prevent entry to the workcell while HIGH is enabled. These devices can be connected using the emergency stop circuitry.
This indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor injury or damage to the equipment. NOTE: This provides supplementary information, emphasizes a point or procedure, or gives a tip for easier operation. Adept SmartMotion Installation Guide, Rev. B...
Additionally, you can access information sources on Adept’s corporate Web site: http://www.adept.com Related Manuals This manual covers the installation of an Adept SmartMotion system. There are additional manuals that cover software configuration, programming the system, reconfiguring installed components, and adding other optional components. Refer to the following manuals for additional information your Adept system.
When the above process is complete, the next step is to use the CONFIG_C and SPEC utility programs to configure the software for your system. An overview for this process is located in Chapter Adept SmartMotion Installation Guide, Rev. B...

Proper Wiring and Electrical Design Practices Designing a high-performance servo system requires attention to electrical design. Adept SmartMotion is designed to respond to high-resolution encoder inputs, up to 32 MHz count rate. Most drive amplifiers, DC power supplies, and brush-type motors are potential sources of high-frequency electrical noise.
DIN mounting rails, wiring terminal strips, etc. Make sure to keep low-voltage control signal wiring away from high-voltage wiring to avoid interference and noise problems. Adept SmartMotion Installation Guide, Rev. B...
The ground wire must be less than 3 meters long. 4. Connect a 24VDC cable from the SmartController to the sMI6. The DC power cable must be less than 10 meters long. Adept SmartMotion Installation Guide, Rev. B...
A variety of other DIN-rail mountable hardware is available from the vendors listed above, including terminal blocks, end brackets, opto-isolation systems (for voltage-level shifting and additional current drive) and power supplies. Adept SmartMotion Installation Guide, Rev. B...
The mounting panels are supplied from Adept without I/O modules so you can choose the type of modules (AC, DC, voltage range) which best suit your particular application. Section 2.10 for more detailed information on the opto modules. Adept SmartMotion Installation Guide, Rev. B...

For example: 5V logic voltage Opto 22 requires a 5V logic user-supplied power supply. Use of shielded, twisted-pair cable is recommended. Allow 12mA per output channel (a total 0.1A for 7 modules) for each MP6-M. Adept SmartMotion Installation Guide, Rev. B...
The input polarity of the Home input is configurable using the SPEC program. You should design the home switch so that it remains active all the way through one of the overtravel limits, then Adept SmartMotion will always be able to calibrate the axis. Brake Release (Output) The Brake Release (BR) signals are provided to control external safety brakes.

The Adept SmartMotion control system is compatible with most industry-standard motor drives that accept a ±10 Volt analog input signal for current (torque) or velocity commands. In addition, Adept SmartMotion provides two discrete I/O signals that are dedicated to specific functions supported by most commercially available motor drives. In summary, each motion channel supports the following drive signals: •...

Separate + and – outputs are provided for each of the six CD (Command Drive) outputs. You should use a separate twisted-pair wire for each CD pair. Do not use a “common” wire to connect the negative outputs as this will seriously reduce the noise-immunity of the system. Adept SmartMotion Installation Guide, Rev. B...
If separate power is desired for any of the encoder channels (for example, if any of your encoders require different supply voltages), power connections must be made directly to that encoder. The encoder input circuitry on the MP6-E does not require power from an external supply. Adept SmartMotion Installation Guide, Rev. B...
