Introduction to the PDU3
The Power Distribution Unit (PDU3) performs these functions in an Adept Python
modules system:
• Supplies switched AC power to the MotionBlox-10 (MB-10) amps
• Provides AC power filtering and surge protection
• Supplies 24 VDC power to the MB-10 amps and optional IO Blox devices
• Provides CAT-3 E-Stop functionality
Figure 8-1. Adept PDU3
The PDU3 has been designed to power a typical Python modules system that contains up
to four MB-10 amps, 1 motor brake, and up to 4 IO Blox devices. Both the AC and DC
outputs of the PDU3 are fused to the limits specified in
. If your
application requires additional Python modules, MB-10 Servo Kits, multiple large motors
(>400 Watts), additional brakes, or other I/O requirements, please consult Adept Sales or
Service for help in planning the correct configuration and capacity for a safe and effective
system.
