3 System overview
The following chapters provide a brief overview of the functions, integration
and use of the KeTop T10.
In general
The KeTop T10 is a machine operating device that is intended for jogging ro-
bots in an intuitive way with "DirectMove". DirectMove is the name for operating
a robot or a machine on the basis of position detection in or parallel to the
pointing direction.
Compared to a conventional KeTop the KeTop T10 is equipped with a firmware
for calculation the orientation of the device and for communication with the
control, since it has a limited graphical interface.
The key benefit of the KeTop T10 is the knowledge about it’s own orientation
in space. This way the KeTop T10 can be used for selecting desired directions
of movements. Similar to show a direction to a human operator using ones
finger. Although the KeTop T10 is designed for jogging robots, it can be used
for any application, where it is useful to show directions or orientation in space
by using the device itself.
An integrated emergency stop and an enabling control switch make it the per-
fect operating device for any machine requiring save manual operation. The
new, intuitive way of operation together with its compact size allows the oper-
ator to concentrate on the operated machine instead of paying attention to the
operating device.
The display of the KeTop T10 is used to display the status and shows the icons
setted by the application on the control. An exception are the error codes or
internal icons (e.g. compass for referencing) which are displayed directly by
the KeTop T10.
The following chapters offer an overview of the following topics:
●
KeTop T10 functions
●
Connecting the KeTop T10 to an OEM control
●
Using the KeTop T10 for robot jogging
3.1 Functions of KeTop T10
In principle the KeTop T10 is a operating device with keyboard, joystick and a
small color LCD display for showing operating modes and status. But in addi-
tion to that the device has knowledge about its own orientation in space. This
information is used by the robot control to handle the robot. The KeTop T10
itself has no built-in logic for robot jogging and no specific information about it.
This way it is up to the controller to implement the best way of using the device
in a special context.
