1.1 Product Description
The Adept SmartVision MX™ is a Windows®7 Embedded industrial PC designed to run
Adept’s ACE software. It is compatible with Adept’s SmartController line of products, or can
be used with Adept robots that don’t use a SmartController.
For inspection applications, the Adept SmartVision MX industrial PC is designed to be a
“plug-and-play” vision system. Using a USB or GigE camera, along with Adept’s PC-based vision software, the unit is a complete industrial vision solution.
When used with a SmartController, the Adept SmartVision MX provides expanded vision processing power for vision-guided robotics or inspection.

What Comes with an Adept SmartVision MX?
Hardware
The Adept SmartVision MX includes:

Intel®Core i7

8 GB DDR3 memory

64 GB mSATASSDdrive
The drive is partitioned into a C: drive and a D: drive. By default, the C: drive uses a
file-based write filter, to protect the Windows operating system and Adept ACE software. Adept recommends that you leave this write filter enabled for C: in normal use.
Because the OS and Adept ACE software are on C:, you should be very cautious about
using C: for any other purpose, particularly for other applications.
l
Matching connector for VDC input power
l
A USB license dongle, which enables licenses for one of the following:
o
AdeptSight software, 2 camera support
o
ACE PackXpert, 1 controller support
o
ACE PackXpert with AdeptSight software, 2 camera and 1 controller support
