Figure 4-1. Adept PA-4 Power Chassis with sMAI Module
The sMAI, as with all of Adept's distributed-control products, is connected to a host
Adept SmartController via the SmartServo interface (based on IEEE 1394).
The PA-4 CAT-3 features:
• AC-DC power conversion for amplifier modules
• Multiple amplifier/module support (4 slots)
• EN-954 Category 3-compliant E-Stop contactors
The sMAI module features:
• RISC microprocessor for servo loop control
• Interfaces to 6 axes of Adept power amplifiers
• Interfaces to robust digital serial absolute encoders
• Interfaces to 6 axes of electromechanical brakes
• Redundant E-Stop and teach mode safety circuits
• Smartservo (IEEE-1394) interface for distributed control
See
