the other. Connect the XSYSTEM end to the eAIB, and the XSYS end to the
SmartController.

l

For a field upgrade from an old AIB, if you already have the old XSYS (DB9-DB9) cable
routed and all you want to do is adapt your new eAIB to plug into the old cable, use the
eAIB XSLV Adapter cable. This is a 1 ft (250 mm) long adapter that essentially turns the
XSYSTEM into the old XSLV connector. Connect the XSYSTEM end to the eAIB, and the
XSLV end to the old XSYS cable.

Quattro HS Cables

Note that, for a USDA-Accepted robot, you must install a tray under the cables, starting at the
AIB/eAIB on the robot, and continuing beyond the area in which food is processed. Any
washdown dripping from the cables must be contained by this tray, to a location beyond the
food-processing area.

User-supplied 24 VDC power supply must incorporate overload protection to limit

peak power to less than 300 W, or an 8 A in-line fuse protection must be added to the
24 VDC power source. (In case of multiple robots on a common 24 VDC supply, each
robot must be fused individually.)

NOTE: Fuse information is located on the AIB/eAIB electronics.

The requirements for the user-supplied power supply will vary depending on the
configuration of the robot and connected devices. Adept recommends a 24 VDC, 6 A power
supply to allow for startup current draw and load from connected user devices, such as
solenoids and digital I/O loads. If multiple robots are to be sourced from a common 24 VDC
power supply, increase the supply capacity by 3 A for each additional robot.

CAUTION: Make sure you select a 24 VDC power
supply that meets the specifications in Table 4-2. Using
an underrated supply can cause system problems and
prevent your equipment from operating correctly. See the
following table for recommended power supplies.
