Optional Solenoid Cable

An optional 4-meter solenoid cable is available that connects between the XDIO connector on
the SmartController and the CN20 connector on the robot. Note: this solenoid cable does not
work with the Cobra s350CR/ESD robots.

The solenoid cable brings a portion of the XDIO signals out to the CN21 connector at the top of
the robot. See the following table for the details on the signals available at CN21. See the

Adept

SmartController EX User’s Guide

or

Adept SmartController User’s Guide

for the electrical

specifications for the signals from the XDIO connector.

Mounting Options for User Connections

User air and electrical lines can be routed either through the hollow space in the Z-axis shaft
or by attaching them to the robot’s exterior by mounting stays on the robot.

CAUTION: Do not remove the mechanical end bolts on
the 1st and 2nd axes or the mechanical stoppers on the
3rd axis (see the following figure). Also, do not use these
bolts and stoppers to secure a stay to support user air or
electrical lines. If you remove these components, the
initial calibration position and softstops may become
invalid, the robot arm may fail to run as programmed,
and the robot arm may interfere with peripheral devices.

NOTE: Do not use the following for user connections:
