NOTE:The power requirements for the user-supplied power supply will vary depending on the
configuration of the Adept SmartController EX motion controller and connected devices. A minimum configuration of the controller, front panel, and pendant will require 2 A at 24 VDC. However, a 24 V, 5 A power supply is recommended to allow for additional current draw from
connected devices, such as external IEEE 1394 devices and digital I/O loads.
24 VDC Power Cabling
In order to maintain compliance with many standards, DC power must be delivered over a
shielded cable, with the shield connected to the frame ground at both ends of the cable, as
shown in the following figure. Conductors should be 1.5 mm2- 1.85 mm2(16 to 14 AWG) in
size. The maximum length for the 24 VDC cable is 10 meters.
Daisy-Chaining Power
Figure 2-7. User-Supplied Power Cable
The Adept SmartController EX motion controller is equipped with two DC power connectors.
These connectors allow the daisy-chaining of power from one controller to another or to an
sDIO module. When daisy-chaining power, the power supply circuit must be limited to the
lesser of 8 Amps or the ampacity of the cabling. This can be done with a circuit breaker or a
fuse. The DC power can be applied to either the XDC1 or XDC2 connector.
CAUTION: Use only one 24 VDC power supply per circuit. Failure to do
this could result in damage to the equipment.
CAUTION: The SmartVision EX vision controller has a higher current
demand and should be wired independently. Do not daisy-chain its
power from a Adept SmartController EX motion controller.
Adept SmartController EX User’s Guide, Rev. B
Page 22 of 96
Chapter 2: Installation
Grounding Point
NOTE:The power switch on the Adept SmartController EX motion controller will shut down both
the controller and the second 24 V port. If you want a secondary device to maintain power after
the controller is shut down, you will have to provide a separate power line to it.
Chassis Grounding
The Adept SmartController EX motion controller is equipped with a grounding point, as
shown in the following figure. Adept recommends connecting a ground wire from the ground
point on the controller to earth ground and that all other interconnected Adept components
share the same electrical ground potential. The ground wire must meet all local regulations.
Additional grounding information for other Adept products is provided in the documentation
for those products.
NOTE:The maximum length for the ground wire for the controller is 3 meters.
Figure 2-8. Chassis Grounding Point
The mounting of the controller and all terminations must be performed in accordance with
local and national regulations.
