Introduction
AdeptModules Instruction Handbook, Volume 1: Adept MV Controller Interface, Rev. A 83
4.1 Introduction
This chapter covers commissioning, or putting into service, the AdeptModules system.
This includes verifying that the installation is complete, starting and stopping the
AdeptModules, and moving the AdeptModules with the MCP.
Physical Connections
Before turning on the controller and enabling High Power, ensure that the following
cables are installed correctly. See Chapter 3 for installation instructions.
• AdeptModules to power chassis
• AdeptModules to controller
• AdeptModules to Signal Interface Box
• controller to power chassis
• controller to Signal Interface Box
• VFP to controller and MCP
Make sure you have installed proper safeguards and E-Stop circuits as described in
Chapter 1 and Chapter 3.
CAUTION: Ensure that all screws holding the amp modules and blank
panels in the power chassis are securely fastened. If they are loose, power
to the AdeptModules cannot be enabled.
Make sure that the controller is connected to the correct AC power source. See Chapter 3
for the power requirements of the devices.
4.2 Operating Modes
AdeptModules have two different operating modes.The VFP has a two-position rotary
keyswitch marked MANUAL and AUTO that controls whether the AdeptModules are
operating in Manual or Automatic mode. For safety reasons, High Power is automatically
disabled when the operating mode is changed.
Manual Operating Mode
With the keyswitch in the MANUAL position, AdeptModules motion can be initiated only
from the Manual Control Pendant (MCP). When the system is in Manual mode, the user
cannot initiate a motion with the system keyboard. This protects the operator in the
workcell from unexpected motions of the AdeptModules.
In Manual mode the maximum speed of the Tool Center Point and the joints of the
AdeptModules is reduced to less than 250 mm per second (10 ips). Also, the motors run at
reduced torque.
