Chapter 6: Options Configuring the Omron PLC Refer to the EtherNet/IP Connection Guide (P649-E1-01) for configuring the Omron PLC to work with Omron Adept robots. Refer to Resources on Omron Web Sites on page 3. Using your PLC software, set the IP address for the PLC to connect to on the robot. Enabling High Power The details of enabling high power to the robot are covered in the EtherNet/IP Connection Guide (P649-E1-01). Once high power is enabled, the Robot Status Panel displays ON, and the amber Robot Status LED is on. 6.3 SmartVision MX Industrial PC The SmartVision MX is a Windows ® 7 Embedded industrial PC designed to run the ACE soft- ware.
It is compatible with the Hornet 565, with or without the SmartController EX motion con- troller. For inspection applications, the SmartVision MX industrial PC is designed to be a “plug-and- play” vision system. Using a USB or GigE camera, along with the ACE Sight PC-based vision software, the unit is a complete industrial vision solution, providing expanded vision pro- cessing power for vision-guided robotics or inspection. Refer to SmartVision MX User's Guide . 6.4 SmartController EX Motion Controller The optional SmartController EX motion controller supports tracking more conveyors than an eAIB alone, as well as other options.
Like the eAIB, the SmartController EX uses the eV+ oper- ating system. It offers scalability and support for IEEE 1394-based digital I/O and general motion expansion modules. The SmartController EX also includes Fast Ethernet and DeviceNet. Refer to SmartController EX User’s Guide . 6.5 sDIO Module Adds 32 inputs and 32 outputs to the system. This requires the optional SmartController EX motion controller. Up to 4 sDIO modules can be added to a system. 6.6 IO Blox I/O Device Adds 8 inputs and 8 outputs per device. Up to 4 devices can be used. Requires the eAIB XBELT IO Adapter cable.
6.7 eAIB XBELT IO Adapter Cable Splits the EXPIO port into a belt encoder lead, one RS-232 lead, and one lead for either IO Blox or Intelligent Force Sense System. Hornet 565 Robot User's Guide, 14608-000 Rev C Page 88 of 156
