Robots and Motion Devices
Your system may be equipped with the AdeptMotion VME option that provides a
means of controlling many types of motion devices. The AdeptMotion VME
User’s Guide details the installation and configuration of the Adept hardware and
the interconnection between the Adept controller and your motion device.
The Manual Control Pendant
The optional manual control pendant (MCP) shown in Figure 1-3 has its own set
of “typewriter” style keys and function keys, including keys that can be assigned
special uses by application programs. Special MCP keys allow you to move a
robot or motion device and to teach locations used by motion control programs.
The features of the MCP are covered in the robot instruction handbooks.
