What Comes with an Adept SmartVision EX?
Hardware
The Adept SmartVision EX comes with the chassis, shown in Figure 1-1, and any expansion slot
cards that you order. The unit shares the same footprint as the Adept SmartController. The
standard Adept SmartVision EX includes:
•Intel
®Core Duo, dual 64-bit cores, 2.16 GHz
• 2 GB DDR2 memory
• 80 GB hard drive (2.5 in.)
The hard drive is partitioned into a C: drive and a D: drive. By default, the C: drive uses a
file-based write filter, to protect the Windows operating system and Adept ACE software.
Adept recommends that you leave this write filter enabled for C: in normal use.
Because the OS and Adept ACE software are on C:, you should be very cautious about
using C: for any other purpose, particularly for other applications.
• All of the connectors listed in Table 4-1, “Adept SmartVision EX Connectors and
Indicators,” on page 31.
• A USB license dongle, which enables licenses for one of the following:
•AdeptSightsoftware, 2 camera support
• ACE PackXpert, 1 controller support
• ACE PackXpert with AdeptSight software, 2 camera and 1 controller support
and
• Any additional camera or controller licenses that you purchased
An Adept SmartVision EX can support a total of four cameras and four controllers.
NOTE: If you are going to use Adept SmartVision EX with AdeptSight, but
without ACE PackXpert, the Adept SmartController needs to have a motion
license.
•Panel-mountbrackets
•Stack-mountbrackets
Software
The following software is pre-loaded on the hard drive:
•Windows
®XP Embedded
•AdeptACE
• AdeptSight 3 (Adept ACE-based vision software)
• Drivers for Basler cameras (IEEE 1394 and GigE) and the PCIe I/O card
The Adept SmartVision EX is designed to run Adept ACE software. Adept does not support
applications other than Adept ACE.

2.2 Precautions and Required Safeguards
This manual must be read by all personnel who install, operate, or maintain Adept systems, or
who work within or near the workcell.
Reading and Training for Users and Operators
Adept systems can include computer-controlled mechanisms that are capable of moving at high
speeds and exerting considerable force. Like all robot and motion systems, and most industrial
equipment, they must be treated with respect by the user and the operator.
This manual should be read by all personnel who operate or maintain Adept systems, or who
work within or near the workcell.
The installation and use of Adept products must comply with all safety instructions and warnings
in this manual. Installation and use must also comply with all applicable local and national
requirements and safety standards.
The equipment, as delivered by Adept, complies with the relevant and fundamental safety and
health requirements defined by the EC Machinery Directive, Annex I. Refer to “Manufacturer’s
Declaration” section on page 15. The machine must not be put into operation until all the
machinery into which it is incorporated has been declared to be in compliance with the provisions
of the effective versions of the directives. This includes all supplementary equipment and
protective devices.
We recommend that you read the American National Standard for Industrial Robot Systems - Safety
Requirements, published by the Robotic Industries Association (RIA) in conjunction with the
American National Standards Institute. The publication, ANSI/RIA R15.06, contains guidelines
for robot system installation, safeguarding, maintenance, testing, startup, and operator training.
We also recommend that you read the International Standard IEC 204 or the European Standard
EN 60204, Safety of machinery – Electrical equipment of machines, and ISO 10218 (EN 775),
Manipulating Industrial Robots – Safety, particularly if the country of use requires a CE-certified
installation.
This manual assumes that the user has attended an Adept training course and has a basic working
knowledge of the system. The user should provide the necessary additional training for all
personnel who will be working with the system.

Precautions and Required Safeguards
Adept SmartVision EX User’s Guide, Rev B 19
System Safeguards
Safeguards must be an integral part of robot or motion workcell design, installation, operator
training, and operating procedures.
Computer Controlled Robots and Motion Devices
Adept systems are computer controlled, and the program that is currently running the robot or
motion device may cause it to move at times or along paths you may not anticipate. When the
High Power light on the front panel is illuminated, do not enter the workcell, because the robot or
motion device might move unexpectedly.
Other Computer-Controlled Devices
In addition, Adept systems can be programmed to control equipment or devices other than the
robot or main motion device. The program controlling these other devices may cause them to
operate unexpectedly. Make sure that safeguards are in place to prevent personnel from entering
the workcell when a program is running.
Adept Technology highly recommends the use of additional safety features, such as light curtains,
safety gates, or safety floor mats to prevent entry to the workcell while high power is enabled.
These devices can be connected using the emergency stop circuitry.
Standards Compliance
The Adept SmartVision EX is intended for use with other equipment and is considered a
subassembly rather than a complete piece of equipment on its own.
If the Adept SmartVision EX is used with equipment other than the equipment with which it was
evaluated for standards compliance, you might not be in compliance with those standards.
DANGER: Entering the workcell when the High Power light
is on can result in severe injury.
