4.1 Introduction
The Adept MotionBlox-40R (MB-40R/eMB-40R) is a distributed servo controller and amplifier.
It has a dedicated digital signal processor to communicate, coordinate, and execute servo
commands.
The MB-40R/eMB-40R consists of:
l
a distributed servo amplifier
l
a RISC processor for servo loop control
l
a node on the IEEE 1394 network
l
a power controller that uses single-phase AC power, 200-240 Volts
l
a status panel with a 2-digit alpha-numeric display to indicate operating status and
