Overview
The Adept PA-4 CAT-3 power chassis, part number 01044-000, is an upgraded
replacement for the Adept PA-4. The PA-4 CAT-3 includes AC-DC power conversion
electronics that support a range of Adept power amplifiers and robot control modules. In
addition, the PA-4 CAT-3 includes dual (redundant) high-power AC contactors that, in
combination with the sMAI (smart Multi-Axis Interface) module, meet the Category-3
E-Stop requirements per EN-954. The PA-4 can be configured with E, F, and G amplifier
modules to support the AdeptSix robot systems. (See
Section 1.3 on page 11
for more
details on amp modules.)
The amplifiers in the AdeptSix robot systems are controlled by an sMAI
distributed-control module, part number 03200-000. The sMAI module resides in the PA-4
chassis and contains a RISC microprocessor and interface circuitry that close the servo
loops for high-performance robot motion.
