shipment. This CD-ROM contains Adept’s user documentation in both
HTML and PDF format. Unless otherwise specified, check this CD-ROM

Graphical Interface Using AdeptWindows

The Adept SmartController system includes the AdeptWindows PC software, which is a
suite of application programs that provide new capabilities for the Adept SmartController
and a user interface for the PC. One of these capabilities is to operate the Adept
SmartController via a graphical user interface running over an Ethernet connection. The
procedure for installing AdeptWindows and setting up the user interface for the Adept
SmartController system is described in the

AdeptWindows Installation Guide

, which is

included in your shipment. Refer to this document for details on installing
AdeptWindows and establishing an Ethernet connection to the Adept SmartController.

NOTE: Connect the necessary Ethernet cabling between your PC and the
Adept SmartController prior to turning on the PC and controller. See

Section 2.2 on page 34.

NOTE: After installing the AdeptWindows software, refer to the
AdeptWindows online help for additional information on setting up the
user interface.

WARNING:

Make sure that all cables are installed correctly

and fully inserted and screwed down before applying
power to the system. Failure to do this could cause
unexpected robot motion. Also, a connector could be
pulled out or dislodged unexpectedly.
