connected to the XUSR connector. A line E-Stop from other equipment can be connected.
A muted safety gate that causes an E-Stop only in Automatic mode is included. Also
included are contacts to report the status of E-Stop push-buttons and the Man-
ual/Automatic switch.

NOTE: The Adept SmartController EX motion controller ships with a terminator plug attached to
the XUSR connector. The terminator plug must be installed in the absence of any user-supplied
safety equipment used to close the E-Stop circuit. For more information about the XUSR con-
nector, see Connecting User-Supplied Safety and Power-Control Equipment on page 36.

14. XSYS connector

Connects to the XSLV connector on an Adept robot or servo controller.

15. XFP connector

Connects to the optional Front Panel. See Connecting User-Supplied Safety and Power-
Control Equipment on page 36
for information.

16. XMCP connector

The optional Adept T20 pendant plugs into this connector, via the T20 adapter cable,
which has the mating connector for the XMCP connector. The controller ships with a ter-
minator plug in the XMCP connector. The plug must be installed in the absence of a
pendant or the E-Stop circuit will remain open, and you will not be able to start the sys-
tem.

17. 24 VDC connectors/switch

Connect power from a user-supplied 24 VDC power supply to the XDC1 connector (see
Connecting Power on page 21). If using an sDIO module or an sMI6 module, connect a
separate cable from the unused XDC connector on the controller to the XDC1 connector
on the sDIO module or sMI6 module.

An On/Off switch turns the controller and the second 24 VDC power jack on or off.

Any daisy-chained devices will be turned on or off with this switch.

A ground screw is located immediately below the 24 VDC power jacks.

18. Belt Encoder connector

This is a 26-pin D-Sub connector for up to four belt encoders in a conveyor-tracking
installation. See Belt Encoder Interface on page 50 for more information.
