Connecting the PC to the SmartController
The Adept SmartController motion controller must be connected to a user-supplied PC or
the Adept SmartVision EX processor for setup, control, and programming.
• Connect an Ethernet crossover cable between the PC and the SmartController
motion controller
or
• Use two standard Ethernet cables with a network hub or switch in place of the
Ethernet crossover cable.
NOTE: Do not use an Ethernet crossover cable with a network hub or
switch.
For more details, refer to the Adept ACE User’s Guide.

option is available.
2. Locate these cables, shipped in the cable/accessories box.
• IEEE 1394 cable (length 4.5 M)
• XSYS cable (length 4.5 M)
• Power cable (length 7 M)
• Encoder cable (length 7 M)
NOTE: The IEEE 1394 and XSYS cables should be routed away from the
AC power and robot Power and Encoder cables.
3. Install one end of the IEEE 1394 cable into the SmartServo port 1.1 connector on
the SmartController, and install the other end into the SmartServo port 1
connector on the sDAI module in the PA-4. See
. Make sure the plug is oriented correctly to the connector.
4. Install the XSYS cable between the XSYS connector on the SmartController, and
the XSLV connector on the sDAI module, and tighten the latching screws.
5. Install the Power cable between the 2BC connector on the robot and the power
connector shown in
on the PA-4. Insert the connector and then push
down the lever until you hear a click.
6. Install the Encoder cable between the 1BC connector on the robot and the encoder
connector shown in
