Chapter 3: Installation Connecting to a SmartController The 24 VDC can be obtained from a SmartController if you are connecting the SmartVision MX to one. The total current, used by both the SmartController and the SmartVision MX, as well as any peripherals attached to them, must stay within the limits of your 24 VDC power supply. The 24 VDC power cable is user-supplied. 1. Connect a 24 VDC cable from XDC1 or XDC2 on the controller (whichever is not used) to the 24 VDC connector on the SmartVision MX industrial PC. 2. Follow the instructions in the previous section for connecting VDC to the SmartVision MX industrial PC.
If your system has sDIO or sMI6, these need to be placed between the SmartController and the SmartVision MX industrial PC, so the power can be daisy-chained. The SmartVision MX industrial PC has only one 24 VDC plug. The other units have two. If you are connecting peripherals to the SmartVision MX industrial PC, you may need to run a dedicated 24 VDC cable to the SmartVision MX industrial PC, rather than tapping power from the controller or your power supply. Make sure you are not exceeding the current capa- city of the controller 24 VDC plug. 3.5 Connecting Display, Keyboard, and Mouse To connect a display to the SmartVision MX industrial PC, use either of the DVI- ports.
If you have a VGA display, you will need to use the DVI-I port with a VGA adapter. Connect your keyboard and mouse to USB ports. SmartVision MX User’s Guide, 14362-000 Rev. B Page 17 of 30
