Robot Solenoid Kit
Installation Procedure
Introduction
This procedure describes how to mount the 24 V solenoid option kit onto Adept Cobra
s-series (standard and inverted), i-series, and PLC-series robots. The solenoid kit is
available as Adept p/n 02853-000.
NOTE:
The solenoid kit option is NOT available for the IP-65 version of
these robots.
The robot has been prewired to accommodate a bank of two 24 VDC solenoid valves.
Power for the internal mounting is accessible via a connector mounted inside the outer
link cover (see
Figure 1 on page 4
). The signals actuating the valves are directly
switchable from V
+
utilizing software signals 3001 and 3002. Refer to the SIGNAL
command in the
V+ Language Reference Guide
for additional information. The
Adept-supplied solenoids each draw a nominal 75 mA from 24 VDC.
The solenoid valve assembly consists of two independent valves (Valve #1 and Valve #2)
on a common manifold. The manifold supplies air at the user’s line pressure (28 psi
(0.19 MPa) minimum to 114 psi (0.786 MPa) maximum). Each valve has two output ports,
A and B. The output ports are arranged so that when Port A is pressurized, Port B is not
pressurized. Conversely, when Port B is pressurized, Port A is not. In the Adept Cobra
s-series robots, the air lines from Port A on each valve are plugged at the factory (at the
solenoid assembly).
The Solenoid Kit is available through Adept. Contact your Adept Sales Representative for
current price and availability.
