Task 3: Testing the model with the ROBO TX Controller
Connect the ROBO TX Controller to the power supply and switch it on. Con-
nect the ROBO LT Controller to the PC. Then start the ROBO Pro software.
Activate the "Test" button. The operating display appears to test the control-
ler and the connected sensors and actuators. Click with the mouse pointer
on Output M1 - right and then Output M2 - right. Observe what happens at Input
I1.
The compressor at Output M1 starts running and produces compressed air for the cyl-
inder. If M2 is switched on, the solenoid valve is actuated and the piston in the cylinder
extends. At Input I1 a check set when the connected pushbutton is closed.
