3.4 Programming/Using the AnyFeeder with Adept ACE
You can use an AnyFeeder object (control panel) in Adept ACE to configure the
AnyFeeder for your application (in this case, you would likely use the Process Manager in
Adept ACE to create the application; the Process Manager allows you to include the
AnyFeeder object in your process). See the
Adept ACE User’s Guide for information. See
Appendix A on page 57 for information on V+ programming.
3.5 Serial Communications
This section describes how to set up serial communications with the Adept AnyFeeder.
NOTE: If you want to communicate with your Adept AnyFeeder using
digital I/O rather than serial communications, refer to
Chapter 4 for the
cable pin/wire assignments.

In order for the SmartController CX to communicate properly with the Adept AnyFeeder,
you must configure the serial port as follows:
NOTE: The Adept AnyFeeder will not receive or send any serial data if
the baud rate is not set correctly.
