Chapter 1 - Introduction
Adept SmartController
The SmartController is the foundation of Adept’s family of high-performance,
distributed-motion and vision controllers. The SmartController is designed for use with:
• Adept Quattro robots
• Adept Cobra s-series robots
• Adept Viper s-series robots
• Adept Python linear modules
• Adept MotionBlox-10
•Adept sMI6 (SmartMotion)
The Adept SmartController CX supports an integrated vision option and a conveyor
tracking option, as well as other options. It offers scalability and support for IEEE
1394-based digital I/O and general motion expansion modules. The IEEE 1394 interface is
the backbone of the Adept SmartServo distributed-servo network, which supports Adept
products. The controller is commonly programmed through its Fast Ethernet port, which
can be on a distributed network or directly connected to a PC for programming.
