"3D" system uses ONE SENSOR at the end of a robot, that moves in the space (3 axes, so three dimensions). This sensor gets the results, and in nearly real time is sending the information to the ELECTRONIC INTERFACE (control interface) that manipulates and controls the signals.

The EDIBON Computer Control System is an OPEN, MULTICONTROL and REAL TIME CONTROL SYSTEM. So many parameters (sensors) and actuators can be controlled in an open way simultaneously.

This system uses: Sensors in the teaching unit; Control interface; Common and standard data acquisition board (PCI) placed in computer slot; PLC unit; PLC software for any particular unit.

Faults Simulation System (FSS) is a Software package that simulates several faults in any EDIBON Computer Controlled Unit. The "FAULTS" mode consists on causing several faults in the unit normal operation. The student must find them and solve them. There are several kinds of faults that can be grouped in the following sections:
