Signal Interconnection Installation
AdeptModules Instruction Handbook, Volume 1: Adept MV Controller Interface, Rev. A 55
Connecting the MCP to the VFP
The optional MCP is connected to the system at the Pendant connector on the VFP (see
Figure 2-16). See Chapter 4 for instructions on using the MCP.
Install the MCP to the connector that is marked PENDANT on the VFP.
WARNING: The VFP has two key switches, one to select the device that
controls program execution and one to select the operating mode. Before
using the MCP in the workcell, the operating key switch must be set to
MANUAL and the other one to LOCAL. This will prevent program
execution from being started from the keyboard or terminal.

MCP Cradle
The MCP is stored in the MCP cradle when it is not being held by an operator. The cradle
has a retaining clip that keeps the Hold-to-Run switch closed. The MCP cradle must be
installed outside of the AdeptModules workcell. See Figure 6-7 on page 117 for the
dimensions of the cradle.
