NOTE: The power requirements for the user-supplied power supply will vary depending on the
configuration of the Adept SmartController EX motion controller and connected devices. A mini-
mum configuration of the controller, front panel, and pendant will require 2 A at 24 VDC. How-
ever, a 24 V, 5 A power supply is recommended to allow for additional current draw from
connected devices, such as external IEEE 1394 devices and digital I/O loads.
24 VDC Power Cabling
In order to maintain compliance with many standards, DC power must be delivered over a
shielded cable, with the shield connected to the frame ground at both ends of the cable, as
shown in the following figure. Conductors should be 1.5 mm
size. The maximum length for the 24 VDC cable is 10 meters.

Note: Use connector
supplied by Adept at
this end of cable.
Daisy-Chaining Power
The Adept SmartController EX motion controller is equipped with two DC power connectors.
These connectors allow the daisy-chaining of power from one controller to another or to an
sDIO expansion module. When daisy-chaining power, the power supply circuit must be lim-
ited to the lesser of 8 Amps or the ampacity of the cabling. This can be done with a circuit
breaker or a fuse. The DC power can be applied to either the XDC1 or XDC2 connector.

CAUTION: Use only one 24 VDC power supply per circuit. Failure to do
this could result in damage to the equipment.
CAUTION: The SmartVision EX vision controller has a higher current
demand and should be wired independently. Do not daisy-chain its
power from a Adept SmartController EX motion controller.
