Adept Technology Introduces ePLC Connect Enabling Rockwell PLC-Based Robot Programming.Ethernet/IP Connectivity Simplifies Robot Installation and Support for PLC Centric Customers LIVERMORE, Calif. -- Adept Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :ADEP ADEP Association d'Entraide des Polios et Handicapés ADEP Accelerated Degree Evening Program ADEP Accelerator-Driven Energy Production ADEP Avionics Document for Execution & Planning ADEP Automatic Depth Control ), the leading provider of intelligent vision-guided robotics robotics, science and technology of general purpose, programmable machine systems. Contrary to the popular fiction image of robots as ambulatory machines of human appearance capable of performing almost any task, most robotic systems are anchored to fixed positions and global robotics services, today introduced Adept ePLC Connect[TM], a PLC interface enabling the entire Adept product line of SCARA, Articulated, Cartesian and Parallel robots A parallel robot is a device for performing manipulations, where the end effector is connected to the base via multiple kinematic chains. Any two chains thus form a closed loop. This is opposed to classical open loop mechanisms such as the serial robot (e.g. to be programmed using Rockwell PLC-based robot programming language. The Adept ePLC Connect provides a network for robots using Ethernet/IP connectivity. By eliminating the need to learn a new programming language, the ePLC Connect simplifies the installation and support of the robots, and maximizes the existing automation investment. "Adept's PLC controlled line of robots has been well received in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. due to the popularity and acceptance of Rockwell's RSLogix[R] software environment," said John Dulchinos, president and COO of Adept Technology. "Adept ePLC Connect gives PLC customers a familiar software environment to develop their applications, simplifying integration and lowering total overall costs. Adept ePLC Connect is being displayed in Adept's booth at the Assembly technology Expo in Rosemont, IL from September 25-27, 2007 by HPC (Handheld PC) A palmtop computer that weighs less than one pound and runs specialized versions of popular applications. Microsoft coined the term for its Windows CE operating system, which is an abbreviated version of Windows. See Pocket PC. Automation (Booth #706). About Adept Technology, Inc.
