Roson Control Interface

Control interface is an application developed for operating a Roson. It consists of three parts:

• Automatic screen is used to operate the Roson in an automatic mode. Navigate to this screen by tapping the Automatic label on the navigation bar.

• Manual Control screens is used to operate the Roson in a manual mode. The Operator can use different manual control screens by using the navigation bar on the bottom of the screen, which are: Drive Units, Twister, Sprocket, Folder and SHPU.

For example, to run the Twister check command, tap on a Twister Check button (tap action illustrated as an orange circle) and after raising a finger the button will change color, which means the operation started:
