Configuring SmartServo Nodes with DC_SETUP

Use the DC_SETUP utility to configure each robot as a unique node on the SmartServo 
network.

1. Load the DC_SETUP utility by typing the following command at the V+ monitor prompt:

load \util\dc_setup

2. Execute the DC_SETUP utility by typing the following command at the V+ monitor 

prompt:

exe 1 a.dc_setup 

The main DC_SETUP menu appears, as shown in the figure below.

Figure 11. DC_SETUP Main Menu

3. In DC_SETUP, select option 2 “Configure Adept robot/axis gadgets.” Follow the 

instructions on the screen. After several screens, you will see a screen similar to the 
figure below. 

NOTE: 

If the Adept Cobra s600/s800/s800 Inverted robots were shipped 

from the factory configured as single robot systems, both robots will be 
configured as Robot 1. As this stage, you must hit the SPACE bar to cycle 
through each robot to remove the Robot 1 configuration before you 
continue. If you do not visit each servo node, there will be no servo nodes 
presented to you later in the procedure when you will configure Robot 2.
