About Controller-PC

C ontroller-PC is an integral part of the SCORBOT-ER 4pc robotic system. It can also be
used to control many of the peripheral devices offered by Eshed Robotec.
Controller-PC has two main components:
• SCORPOWER external power/control box.
• Servo control PC expansion card.
In addition, a teach pendant is available for this system.

SCORPOWER Control Box

The SCORPOWER control box provides the 24V power supply to six robot motors and
two optional accessory motors and relays the encoder signals to the PC servo control card.
In addition, this unit provides the bi-directional signals which enable both digital and
analog I/O interfacing with the host PC.

PC Servo Control Card

The PC servo control card plugs into an 8-bit AT ISA slot of a PC 386 or higher.
This card contains the circuits which operate the robot's motors (by means of PWM
signals), read the encoder and microswitch signals, and communicate with a teach
pendant and I/O signals.
