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 addition to that the device has knowledge about its own ori

entation in space. This information is used by the ro bot 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.

The display is quite reduced in function: It only allows the selection of predefined icons representing mode

and state information. There are several icon sets available which are stored in the KeTop T10 itself.

The KeTop T10 has an Ethernet interface which allows exchanging information with the control. The fol

lowing information is exchanged between controller and the device:

• state of keyboard and joystick

• current orientation of the device

• current selected icons for display
