NOTE: This 6mm User Air connector and the 6mm User Air connector at
the top of Figure 7-2 on page 139 are not functional for other uses after
this modification.
14. Replace the Joint 1 cover, taking care to insure that all tubing is inside the cover

Replace four screws to secure the cover. Tighten the screws to 1.6 N•m (14 in-lb)
of torque.
15. Replace the outer link cover and tighten the screws to 1.6 N•m (14 in-lb) of

7.6 DeviceNet Pass-Through Cable
DeviceNet is a communications link that connects industrial I/O devices to a message
packeting network. All devices connect to the same backbone cable, eliminating the need
for individual wiring for each I/O point.
NOTE: The DeviceNet cable in the robot is strictly for pass-through. If
DeviceNet is used, it must be implemented from the user-supplied PLC.
The PLC Server does not support DeviceNet.
Adept incorporates the following DeviceNet ready hardware in the Adept Cobra PLC
robot:
• Female connector for the robot tower; Micro-style 12 mm thread DIN female
connector (see Figure 7-7 on page 145)
• Male Micro-style 12 mm thread DIN connector at the robot base.
WARNING: Disconnect robot air pressure until this test
has been done to prevent unsecured pneumatic lines from
accidentally injuring personnel.
