603 A DIGITAL PROGRAMMABLE ROBOT
OVERVIEW:

BASED ON CONCEPT OF PLC.

IS PROGRAMMABLE USING A KEYPAD.

POWERED BY A 9 VOLT BATTERY.



INSTRUCTIONS CAN BE PROGRAMMED INTO MEMORY IN A
SEQUENCTIAL FASHION.
OPERATING FREQUENCY(SPEED) CAN BE VARIED USING A CLOCK
CIRCUIT.
HAS HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE RESET FACILITY.
BASIC COMPONENTS
THE PROGRAMMABLE ROBOT CONSISTS OF FOLLOWING BASIC
ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS:

VOLTAGE REGULATOR
 TO PROVIDE +5 V DC POWER SUPPLY
 USES A ZENER DIODE FOR VOLTAGE REFERECE

CLOCK GENERATION CIRCUIT
 USES ASTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR
 POTENTIOMETER IS USED TO CONTROL THE CLOCK RATE
 OPERATING FREQUENCY OF 603 A ROBOT IS 0.45/RC

MEMORY LOAD SEQUENCER
 CONSISTS OF FLIP-FLOPS AND FEW GATES
 LOADS INPUTS FROM KEY PAD INTO MEMORY SEQUENCTIALLY

RESET CONTROLLER AND CIRCUIT
 HAS TWO RESET CIRCUITS– MANUAL AND PROGRAMMABLE

MEMORY CIRCUIT
 HEART OF THE PROGRAMMABLE ROBOT
 THE SIZE IS 256 WORD BY 4-BIT SRAM

ADDRESS COUNTER
 USES A CMOS BINARY COUNTER IC
 CONTAINS 12 COUNTING STAGES OUTPUTTING FROM 0 TO 111111111111.
 ONLY 8 STAGES OF THE COUNTER ARE USED.

AUDIO OSCILLATOR
 DESIGNED TO OPERATE AT A HIGHER FREQUENCY THAN THE CLOCK

MOTOR DRIVE CIRCUIT
 HAS TWO IDENCITAL MOTOR DRIVE CIRCUITS- LEFT AND RIGHT
 CONSISTS OF ELCTRONIC SWITCHES

LED INDICATOR CIRCUIT
 USED AS A WARNING TO INDICATE THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PROGRAM
INSTRUCTIONS.
 MEMORY CAN ALSO BE PROGRAMMED TO LIGHT THE LED

KEY PAD
 USED TO PROGRAM INSTRUCTIONS INTO THE ROBOT’S MEMORY
 CONSISTS OF 5 SWITCHES AND TWO JUMPERS.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
MECHANICS OF 603 A ROBOT
PERFORMS TWO BASIC TASKS


TRANSFER POWER FROM THE MOTORS TO THE WHEELS
PROVIDE THE STEERING FUNCTION
TASKS ARE ACCOMPOLISHED BY A SERIES OF GEARS CALLED THE
DRIVE TRAINS.
MOTORS RUN WELL ONLY WHEN GEARS ARE TURINING AT A CERTAIN
SPEED.
A PROPER COMBINATION OF THE RIGHT KINDS OF GEARS IS A MUST
TO CONTROL THE SPEED AND PRODUCE THE REQUIRED TORQUE.
STEERING IS ACCOMPOLISHED BY OPERATING ONLY ONE MOTOR AT
A TIME.
