Breaker Panel

The Breaker Panel is designed to distribute +12V Battery voltage to power your motors, solenoids, fans, lights, pumps or anything else on your robot that requires +12V.  Simply connect your device, install the proper auto-resetting breaker and it will be ready for action.

 

The Breaker Panel is also "smart".  The unit will monitor each breaker that is installed and knows which and when each breaker has tripped or is tripping.  This information is vital during robot evaluation and troubleshooting.

Description

The Breaker Panel is used as a power distribution unit. Main power is applied to the input of the Breaker Panel and is routed to various outputs via removable auto-resetting breakers. The removable auto-resetting breakers are not supplied with the Breaker Panel.

The Breaker Panel contains a micro-processor which gives "smarts" to the unit. The unit can identify which breaker(s) is tripping and which breaker(s) has tripped at least one time since the last reset. When the Breaker Panel is properly connected and "linked" with an Innovation First Control system, the trip data can be seen on the Innovation First Dashboard Viewer. The Dashboard Viewer will show the user when a breaker is tripping or if a breaker has tripped at least once. You can now easily decide if you need to make adjustments (gearing, motor selection, code modifications ...etc.) by being able to see which breakers are tripping.
