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

What Comes with a SmartVision MX?
Hardware
The SmartVision MX includes:

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 ACE software. We
recommend that you leave this write filter enabled for C: in normal use.
Because the OS and ACE software are on C:, you should be very cautious about using C:
for any other purpose, particularly for other applications.

Matching connector for VDC input power
