3.2 Front Panel

Figure 3-2. Front Panel

Before running programs, either the Adept Front Panel or customer-supplied switches for

High Power On/Off, MAN/AUTO, and E-Stop must be connected to the XFP connector

on the SmartController to enable power safely.

NOTE: Safety regulations dictate the sequence of events required for the

user to enable high power. For instance, a user may be required to press

the High Power On button on the Front Panel after pressing the

COMP/PWR button on the pendant or issuing the V

“enable power”

command. Users cannot jumper this button input and still enable power

(see your robot manual for further details).

Figure 3-2 shows an Adept Front Panel.

1: XFP connector

Connects to the XFP connector on the SmartController.

2: System 5 V Power-On LED

Indicates whether or not power is connected to the controller.

3: Manual/Automatic Mode Switch

Switches between Manual and Automatic mode. In Automatic mode, executing programs

control the mechanism, and the mechanism can run at full speed. In Manual mode, the

system limits mechanism speed and torque so that an operator can safely work in the cell.

Manual mode initiates software restrictions on robot speed, commanding no more than

250 mm/sec as required by RIA and ISO standards. Please refer to your robot manual for

further details.
