Chapter 2: Installation and Setup
2.4 Operating Environment
The Adept T20 pendant is designed to operate in the following environment:
l
Temperature: 0° to +45° C (32° to 113° F)
l
Humidity: 0 to 95%, non-condensing
The Adept T20 pendant is not intended for use in hazardous environments (explosive gas,
water, dust, oil, or mist). It has an IP rating of IP-65.
2.5 Installation
The Adept T20 pendant can be used with either a SmartController EX motion controller system
or an Adept Cobra ePLC robot. An Adept Front panel is required for both installations.
Note the following points:
l
The E-Stop buttons on the Front Panel and T20 pendant both function and are indi-
vidually detected.
l
The high-power-enable buttons on both devices function independently. The button on
either device can enable/disable power on the system.
About Jumper Plugs
There are two jumper, or bypass, plugs that can be used with a T20 pendant system. One is a
screw-to-lock plug (P/N 10048-000) for the pendant adapter cable, included with the T20
pendant. The other is an XMCP plug. There are two versions of the XMCP plug:
XMCP, SmartController EX version
This is P/N 10052-000, included with the controller, for the XMCP connector on
the controller.
XMCP, Cobra ePLC Robot version
This is P/N 04737-000, included with the robot, for the eAIB XSYSTEM cable.
The reason for the jumper plugs is that the pendant emergency stop switch and the enable
switch are wired into the system emergency stop circuitry. If neither cable is connected, the sys-
tem emergency stop circuitry will see this as an E-Stop having been activated, and you cannot
enable high power.
To prevent this, when either the pendant cable or the adapter cable will be unplugged, the cor-
responding jumper plug must be installed.
See the connection diagrams that follow.
