Robots Control Unit
| It would be less costly to control the robot motion using software directly from a PC. But experience shows that a similar solution is unstable, because the operating systems of usual computers are not suitable for time critical applications control. Therefore the FotoRobot concept is based on a hardware Control Unit (BlackBox).
Control Unit ensures all movement of the machine – acceleration, drive, deceleration. The unit is pre-programmed for particular sizes and speeds of steps (saved in memory slots) and for photograph sequences the PC only recalls individual blocks of partial movements – ensuring reliability and minimum communication between the PC and the robot. |
BlackBox is connected with the control PC through LAN – enabling better placement of systems in the photographic studio and control of many robots through one PC in real time. This concept also enables trouble-free synchronisation of mutual movement of several machines (e.g. movement for suspension of a Cube machine with the Robotic Turntable at the same time – when the photographed object is placed and suspended at the same time). |
| Application: ● Standart Fotorobot.cz setup |

| Application: ● Camera is not compatible with BASIP (e.g. cameras with digital back) ● Data download to memory card is required ● Data download or storage managed by other software than BASIP is required |
