Digital I/O Connectors
The XDIO connector on the controller is a 50-pin, standard-density D sub-miniature female
socket. The user-supplied cable must terminate in a suitable 50-pin male D-sub plug. The plug
is not supplied by Adept.
Screw-Terminal Field-Wiring Adapter Blocks
Several manufacturers make screw-terminal field-wiring blocks, usually DIN-rail mountable.
These can be connected to the XDIO via a suitable shielded 50-pin cable (user-supplied).

3.7 Belt Encoder Interface

For use with conveyor tracking, the Adept SmartController EX motion controller supports four
independent external belt encoders through a 26-pin, female, D-sub connector. The pin assign-
ments for the Belt Encoder connector are shown in the following table. See the figure Belt
Encoder Typical Input Circuit on page 52 for a typical input circuit drawing.
NOTE: An adapter cable (Adept P/N: 09550-000) is available to split the 26-pin Adept Smart-
Controller EX motion controller connector into two 15-pin connections, compatible with the Smart-
Controller CX. The 15-pin adapter is Adept P/N: 09443-000. Each 15-pin adapter provides two M12
connections.
All encoder inputs for the Adept SmartController EX motion controller use a scheme similar to
an RS-422 differential receiver based on industry standard 75175 integrated circuits. The dif-
