The laboratory computational facilities are strong enough for our present needs. We have the following computers:
1 | PC386 / 33 MHz | 16 MB RAM | 120 MB HDD | 14" monitor | Ethernet | robot interface |
2 | PC486 / 100 MHz | 16 MB RAM | 80 MB HDD | 14" monitor | Ethernet | robot interface |
3 | PENTIUM 100 MHz | 16 MB RAM | 520 MB HDD | 15" monitor | Ethernet | DataTranslation vision system |
4 | PC486 / 100 MHz | 16 MB RAM | ---------------- | 14" monitor | Ethernet | interface for robot testbed rack |
5 | PC386 / 33 MHz | 8 MB RAM | 80 MB HDD | 14" monitor | Ethernet | servodrive interface |
6 | Motorola 68060 single board / 50 MHz | 16 MB RAM | 250 MB HDD | RS232 | Ethernet | |
7 | Motorola 68060 single board / 50 MHz | 16 MB RAM | access to the above HDD | RS232 | Ethernet | |
8 | Motorola 68060 single board / 50 MHz | 16 MB RAM | access to the above HDD | RS232 | Ethernet | |
9 | PC486 / 66MHz single board | 16 MB RAM | 520 MBHDD | 15"monitor | Ethernet | |
10 | PENTIUM 200 MHz | 32 MB RAM | 1,6 GB HDD | 17" monitor | Ethernet |
There are two operating systems available on all PCs: DOS and QNX real time system. The Motorola computers work uder OS-9 real time operating system. The operating system is selected by the user.
All computers are configured as LAN in the laboratory (thin Ethernet) and this LAN is connected to the LAN of our Institue and directly with the University LAN. It is possible to work with Novell protocol, the UNIX TCP/IP protocol or the special fast QNX protocol. QNX supplies also the TCP/IP protocol.
