SmartController EX (Option)
The SmartController EX motion controller is the foundation of our family of high-performance
distributed motion and vision controllers. The SmartController EX is designed for use with:
l
eCobra robots
l
Quattro robots
l
Viper robots
l
Hornet robots
The SmartController EX supports a conveyor tracking option, as well as other options. The
SmartController EX uses the eV+ Operating System (as does the eMB-40/60R). It offers scalab-
ility and support for IEEE 1394-based digital I/O and general motion expansion modules. The
IEEE 1394 interface is the backbone of SmartServo, the distributed controls architecture sup-
porting our products. The SmartController also includes Fast Ethernet and DeviceNet.
