Adept SmartController
The SmartController motion controller is the foundation of Adept’s family of high-performance
distributed motion controllers. The SmartController is designed for use with:
l
Adept Cobra s-Series robots
l Adept Quattro robots
l Adept Viper s-Series robots
l
Adept Python linear modules
l Adept MotionBlox-10
l Adept sMI6 (SmartMotion)
The SmartController supports a conveyor tracking option, as well as other options. There are
two models available: the SmartController CX, which uses the V+ Operating System, and the
SmartController EX, which uses the eV+ Operating System. Both models offer scalability and
support for IEEE 1394-based digital I/O and general motion expansion modules. The IEEE
1394 interface is the backbone of Adept SmartServo, Adept's distributed controls architecture
supporting Adept products. The SmartController also includes Fast Ethernet and DeviceNet.
