4.4 Cable Connections from Robot to SmartController
1. Locate the IEEE 1394 cable (length 4.5 M) and the XSYS cable (length 4.5 M). They
are typically shipped in the cable/accessories box.
2. Install one end of the IEEE 1394 cable into the SmartServo port 1.1 connector on
the SmartController, and install the other end into the SmartServo port 1
connector on the robot interface panel. See
Figure 4-1 on page 41 .
3. Install the XSYS cable between the robot interface panel XSLV safety interlock
connector and XSYS connector on the SmartController, and tighten the latching
screws.
4.5 Connecting 24 VDC Power to Robot
Specifications for 24 VDC Power
NOTE:
Fuse information is located on the AIB electronics.
The power requirements for the user-supplied power supply will vary depending on the
configuration of the robot and connected devices. Adept recommends a 24 V, 6 A power
supply to allow for startup current draw and load from connected user devices, such as
solenoids and digital I/O loads. If multiple robots are to be sourced from a common 24 V
power supply, increase the supply capacity by 3 A for each additional robot.

Power Cabling 1.5 – 1.85 mm² (16-14 AWG)
Shield Termination Braided shield connected to frame ground
terminal at both ends of cable. See
Figure

CAUTION:
Make sure you select a 24 VDC power supply
that meets the specifications in Table 4-2 . Using an
under-rated supply can cause system problems and
prevent your equipment from operating correctly. See
Table 4-3 for recommended power supplies.
