SERVO ROBOT SYSTEM
SERIES 5250
The Robot Controller module is provided with TTL
(Transistor-Transistor Logic) inputs for the monitoring of
input devices; TTL outputs to communicate with other
robot units or control external accessories such as a belt
conveyor; relay outputs for the control of external acces-
sories such as Signal Tower, Model 5924; output ports
for the control of external devices such as the Linear Slide
or Rotary Carousel; and serial communication port for
host control operation and for uploading and downloading
programs.
Robot Controller Module
The Robot Controller module is also equipped with
CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) ports, which
enable communication with Lab-Volt Automation CNC
machines. This allows for a truly integrated flexible manu-
facturing system where the robot and CNC machines can
operate in "wait" mode until contacted by other equip-
ment. The Robot Controller also houses a floppy disk
drive for program storage.
The Hand-Held Terminal connects to the Robot
Controller via a serial communication port. It is used for
programming points, saving programs, and general
operation of the Servo Robot System.
The RoboCIM 5250 Software or Robotics software
can be used in place of the Hand-Held Terminal. The
Robotics software allows the user to point and click to
move the Servo Robot and select points. The editing and
labeling processes are very user-friendly. Furthermore,
the capability of Robotics to create task programs allows
the design of complex processes. With the RoboCIM
5250 Software, the motion of the Servo Robot can be
controlled or simulated. The software provides a
three-dimensional virtual environment and an easy-to-use
interface allowing students to easily learn the fundamen-
tals of robotics. Two programming modes are available:
an intuitive icon programming mode and a text program-
ming mode to create more complex tasks.

RoboCIM 5250 Software and Robotics Software
The Servo Robot and external devices offered as
options with the Servo Robot System are equipped with
location pins (or push-lock fasteners). These pins are
designed to be used with the metallic, perforated work
surfaces. This easy-to-use mechanism ensures the
position of the equipment when repeating programs.
