After finishing the program, you can start it with the button "Start program in online
mode". The individual program steps are then performed. Since you have programmed
a continuous loop, it is also necessary to stop it, when you are finished. For this pur-
pose use the button "Stop all running programs".
It may be necessary to readjust the switching plate when operating the compressed air
motor with the ROBO TX Controller, to get the motor to run "smoothly". You can do this
by trial and error.
It is possible to transfer the program to the ROBO TX Controller. This can be accom-
plished with the "Download" button. The interactive window appears to enter the vari-
ous parameters.
Start program: The program can be started immediately after
transfer or after pressing a button. Information is given in

Color sorting robot
The color sorting robot model is
designed to sort parts automati-
cally according to their color. Build
the model according to the assem-
bly instructions and wire the electrical and
pneumatic components according to the circuit
diagram. During assembly pay attention to accuracy when
installing the parts, connecting the hoses and wiring the electri-
cal components. This eliminates the need for trouble-shooting when you put the model
into operation.
Sensors
With this model you become familiar with new components such as those used in
industrial equipment. This includes the vacuum picker arm with suction cup, the two-
cylinder vacuum generator, the optical color sensor and the light barrier with phototran-
sistor and light source.
Optical color sensor
Color sensors are used frequently in automation technology. This is done, for example,
to examine the color or the color imprint to ensure that the correct components are
installed. The fischertechnik color sensor transmits red light, which is reflected with
different strength from different colored surfaces. The quantity of reflected light is
measured by the phototransistor and output as a voltage between 0 V and 10 V. A type
of "darkroom" is built into the sensor in this model to prevent excessive light scatter. An
opening is provided for the sensor. The part to be measured can be positioned on top
of this opening.
