    Overview1
    1.1 Introduction
    This manual describes the key points for getting your Adept AnyFeeder operational. 
    Before getting started, make sure you have all the components necessary to set up your 
    Adept AnyFeeder. In addition to the Adept AnyFeeder (shown in Figure 1-1 below), it is 
    assumed that you have the appropriately configured Adept-controlled robot with vision 
    guidance. (See Section 1.3 and Section 2.1 for details.)
    Figure 1-1. Adept AnyFeeder
    1.2 About Your Adept AnyFeeder
    Your Adept AnyFeeder provides flexible parts feeding without the limitations of a 
    hard-tooled feed system (such as a bowl-feeder or tray-feeding system). The Adept 
    AnyFeeder is designed for feeding a wide variety of parts with rapid change-over times.
    Your Adept AnyFeeder package includes:
    • Adept AnyFeeder SX240 (P/N 05284-001)
     White Flat Feed Surface (P/N 05284-101)
     24 VDC Power Cable, 5 m (P/N 05284-301)
     Parallel DIO (Digital I/O) cable, 5 m (P/N 05284-302)
     RS232 Cable, 4.5 m (P/N 05284-303)
     RS232 Loopback Connector (not used for Serial installations) (P/N 05284-304)
