1.1 Product Description SmartController EX (Option) The SmartController EX motion controller is the foundation of our family of high-performance distributed motion and vision controllers. The SmartController EX is designed for use with: l eCobra robots l Quattro robots l Viper robots l Hornet robots The SmartController EX supports a conveyor tracking option, as well as other options. The SmartController EX uses the eV+ Operating System (as does the eMB-40/60R). It offers scalab- ility and support for IEEE 1394-based digital I/O and general motion expansion modules. The IEEE 1394 interface is the backbone of SmartServo, the distributed controls architecture sup- porting our products.
The SmartController also includes Fast Ethernet and DeviceNet. Figure 1-2. SmartController EX Motion Controller eMotionBlox-40/60R The eMotionBlox-40/60R (eMB-40/60R) distributed servo controller contains the amplifiers to power the high-power motors of the Viper 650/850 robots, and runs the eV+ operating system for motion control. The eMB-40/60R features:
