Adept MB-10 Amps 9
9.1 Overview
The Adept MotionBlox-10 (MB-10) is a distributed servo controller and amplifier that
mounts directly to each module axis. It is designed with a dedicated digital signal
processor to communicate, coordinate, and execute servo commands. When linked to
other MB-10 amps via IEEE 1394, it creates a Distributed Control Network for each
module mechanism.

The main features of the MB-10 are:
• a distributed servo amplifier for the Adept SmartController
• RISC microprocessor for high-performance servo control
• multi-axis coordinated motion via Adept SmartServo (IEEE-1394)
• mounts directly to a module
• compatibility with AC servo motors from 50-750 Watts
• single-phase, 200-240 VAC, input power
• integrated regenerative energy dump resistor
• dual-digit alpha-numeric status display
• manual brake release button
