42 Adept Cobra PLC600/PLC800 Robot User’s Guide, Rev C
3.6 PLC Server Installation
This equipment must be shipped and stored in a temperature-controlled environment.
See Table 3-3. It should be shipped and stored in the Adept-supplied packaging, which is
designed to prevent damage from normal shock and vibration. You should protect the
package from shock and vibration.
Unpacking the PLC Server
Perform the steps below to unpack the PLC Server, optional Front Panel, and optional
Manual Control Pendant (MCP). Then, see the later sections for information on mounting
the equipment.
1. Remove the PLC Server from its shipping container and place it near the robot. If
rack mounting is required, refer to the section “Mounting the PLC Server” on
page 43 for details.
2. Remove the optional Front Panel from its shipping container and set it on a flat
surface near the PLC Server.
Repacking for Relocation
If the PLC Server needs to be relocated, reverse the steps in the installation procedure.
Reuse all original packing containers and materials and follow all safety notes used for
installation. Improper packaging for shipment will void your warranty.
Space Around the Chassis
When the PLC Server is installed, you must allow 10 mm at the back of the unit and 13
mm on the sides of the unit for proper air cooling. To facilitate installation, make sure that
the factory installed CompactFlash Memory Card is in place within the PLC Server prior
to mounting it. This is crucial if you plan to mount it in a way that restricts access to the
side of the unit, and thus to the CompactFlash Memory compartment (see the
“CompactFlash Memory Card” on page 45 for information).
