Adept SmartController User’s Guide, Rev. E
Customers can build an extension cable to place the Front Panel in a remote location. The 
extension cable must conform to the following specifications:
• Wire Size: must be larger than 26 AWG.
• Connectors: must be 15-pin, standard D-sub male and female.
• maximum cable length is 10 meters.
NOTE: The XMCP and XFP connectors on the SmartController can be 
interchanged without electrical damage. However, neither the Front 
Panel nor the MCP will work properly unless they are plugged into the 
correct connector.
Remote MCP Usage
Customers can build an extension cable to place the MCP in a remote location. The 
extension cable must conform to the following specifications:
• Wire Size: must be larger than 26 AWG.
• Connectors: must be 15-pin, standard D-sub male and female.
• Maximum cable length is 10 meters.

Connecting Customer-Supplied Digital I/O Equipment
The SmartController contains two options for connecting Inputs and Outputs (IO). IO can 
be hard-wired to the XDIO Connector and /or CAN network using the DeviceNet 
connector.
The XDIO connector on the SmartController provides 12 hard-wired inputs and 8 
hard-wired outputs for Digital I/O connections. The signals are numbered 1001 through 
1012 for the inputs and 1 through 8 for the outputs. All the signals have independent 
source and ground connections. These inputs contain the four high speed inputs that are 
used by the system for interrupts and latching. The outputs, although independent, have 
a lower current rating of 100mA compared to 700mA for the extended outputs on the 
sDIO (described in 
). See the 
V+ Language User’s Guide
 for 
information on digital I/O programming.
The DeviceNet connector on the SmartController is used to interface to a Controller Area 
Network (CAN) using the DeviceNet protocol. See 
more details.
CAUTION: 
Do not modify the cable that is attached to the 
MCP. This could cause unpredictable behavior from the 
robot system.
