3.6 Connecting 24 VDC Power to Robot
Specifications for 24 VDC Power
The power requirements for the user-supplied power supply will vary depending on the
configuration of the robot and connected devices. Adept recommends a 24 V, 6 A power
supply to allow for startup current draw and load from connected user devices, such as
solenoids and digital I/O loads. If multiple robots are to be sourced from a common 24 V
power supply, increase the supply capacity by 3 A for each additional robot.
