Add-ons are software pieces delivered by Cerebellum Automation to Adept equipment users. They add new functionality to Adept SmartController systems. These softwares typically require low level access and run at the servo code level.
• Modbus I/O's: this add-on allows to connect cheap and distributed I/O's to any Adept SmartServo product (SmartAmp, MotionBlox10, MotionBlox40, sMI6, sCobra, iCobra, AdeptSix...). The I/O's are mapped as V+ signals for transparent integration. The serial port on the servo node is used to keep all the port on the SmartController free. The ModBus software can also be configured as a slave to interface to PLC or other supervision system.
• FireWire I/O's: this add-on leverages the IEEE 1394 high speed network to provide a high quantity of fast I/O's. Like the Modbus add-on, this one does a direct mapping of remote I/O's to V+ signals. It has been developed for the Wago coupler.
• the S-Curve Add-on allows to use smooth trajectory even for axes that are not under V+ controller (i.e. those under ASL or CALIBRATE control). In addition, the S-Curve trajectory can be called at any time during the motion (e.g. when the axis is moving), enabling a change in the destination after the axis has departed. Whatever the conditions (position, velocity, and acceleration) at which this add-on is called, it will compute a smooth trajectory that stays within the given velocity, acceleration and jerk limits. A PC demo of this algorithm is available here.
