Item# 96782 Virtual Model, Industrial Robot, 3D Model

Programming robots becomes a fascinating game with the new INDUSTRY ROBOTS II kit: build a robot with 3 motion axes to stack and pick/place various work pieces; program a welding robot - all this and much more is contained in the latest building kit of the Computing series. The combination with other fischertechnik robot kits opens up totally new possibilities. For example, you can control robot models even without a computer with the IR CONTROL SET, the infrared remote control. This robot kit consists of 4 motors, 8 buttons, one lamp and example programs for each model (for the computer freak). Contains a detailed assembly manual and a new detailed activity guide.

Additionally, you will need the Robo INTERFACE to operate the kit by PC. Moreover, we advise the software Robo Pro for programming and a power supply 30173.

It's finally arrived, the link between PNEUMATIC and COMPUTING from fischertechnik! Pneumatically driven machines can now be programmed and controlled from your PC with the INTELLIGENT INTERFACE and the software LLWIN 3.0 The 3/2-way solenoid valves are now opened and closed electro magnetically. Because the valve is linked to the interface output, the pneumatic functions of the models can now be carried out under computer control. Compressed air is supplied by the reliable miniature compressor from the fischertechnik series of standard components, now supplemented by a compressed air reservoir. In addition, the kit contains 2 pneumatic cylinders, 3 valves, 2 motors, one light barrier, and a switch sensor. Complete with detailed instructions for 4 models: pneumatic door opener, sorting unit, pneumatic grippers, and processing center.

Additionally needed: power supply 30173 with 9V DC / 1000 mAh ROBO INTERFACE and ROBO PRO Software

ROBO PRO SOFTWARE

Item# 993296 Windows
Item# 993297 Linux uild a robot,  make a robot,  robot building

New graphic programmer's application for Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP (Linux in development, #93297) for activating ROBO Interface and ROBO I/O Extension. The previous Intelligent Interface (#30402) can be controlled in online mode. Easy for beginners to use, thanks to proven flowchart programming utility consisting of various software modules.

Data can be interchanged between software modules and subroutines using not only variables (as before) but also graphical connections. Program operation is easier to understand. Subroutines are stored in a library and and can now be used without having to understand the internal workings in the subroutine. Beginners will find it easy to grasp even complex programs.

The graphic programming language ROBO Pro provides all the key elements of a modern programming language, such as arrays, functions, recursions, objects, asynchronous events and quasiparallel processing, making it a useful tool even for professional programmers. Programs are translated directly into machine language for efficient execution of even the most complex programs. Even advanced programmers will find that ROBO Pro knows no limits. With ROBO Pro, it's easy to write teach-in programs or exchange data with other Windows software.

In Online mode, it is possible to control multiple ROBO Pro interfaces in parallel - for large-scale models - and to make custom control panels which include switches, controllers and display elements.

INTELLIGENT INTERFACE *discontinued No longer available* 
Replaced with Robo Interface - 93293

Item# 30402

This active interface is the kernel of the Computing kits. It controls communication between the PC and the models. Its function is to convert the software commands so that a motor will run when you operate a button on the model. The interface has eight digital inputs where pushbutton signals (0 or 1) or phototransistor and Reed contact signals can be evaluated. There are also two analog inputs which can read resistances ranging from 0 to 5 kilohms. There are four reversible motor outputs to control lamps, motors or d.c. relays. This means that you can change the motor's direction of rotation (by program) at any time. We supply a battery holder to power the interface. You can also use any mains adapter with a direct current of about 9 Volts and a power of about 5 Watts.

The Intelligent Interface works in both off-line mode, i.e. without any connection to the interface, and in online mode. In online mode, control is direct via software.

You do not need to open the computer and insert add-on cards to use the fischertechnik interface. Simply connect the interface from the outside to a free serial port (usually COM 2). It is then ready to operate immediately after installation and after the software is loaded.

• micro-processor on board
• online- or download operation
• programmable with Software LLWIN 2.1 (not included)
• serial port RS 232 with SUB D9-cable
• 4 digital motor outputs
• 8 digital and 2 analog inputs

Requires power supply: 9V / 1000 mA (e.g. POWER SUPPLY 30173 or ACCU SET 57487), sold separately.

Item# 16554

This expansion module for the INTELLIGENT INTERFACE doubles the number of motor outputs of the interface from 4 to 8 and the number of digital inputs from 8 to 16. The slave module requires a separate power supply 9VDC/1000mA (e.g. POWER SUPPLY 30173 or ACCU SET 57487), sold separately.
