Description The name SERVICE is an amalgam of "serial variable interface." It is a line of universal interfaces with digital inputs, digital outputs as well as analog inputs and one RS232 serial connector. The inter- faces can be connected in cascade to get more in- and outputs. Depending on the model it is best used for controlling fischertech- nik -construction-kits, motors, lamps, relays, solenoids push- buttons switches and serial devices like receipt- or barcode print- ers. The diference between all three designs is shown in the table below: Product Service Service Service Service USB plus USB clas- USB core USB sic RS232 Digital inputs 8 8 4 1 +5* Digital outputs 8 x 12V/ 8 x 9V/ 4 1 1,3A 0,2A +8* Analog inputs 2 2 0 0 +6* +2* RS232 1 1 0 1 Power supply built in Plug power from USB from USB 115/230V pack Housing Aluminium Plastics open frame Sub D 25 connector Intended use Complete fischertech- Base for self USB/RS232 box for nik® developed converter profession- electronics Receipt als printer Service USB series *Additional In- and Outputs with a few constraints Bönig und Kallenbach oHG • Dortmund • www.bkohg.com Service USB plus Bönig und Kallenbach oHG page 6 2. Service USB plus Owners of other interfaces than Service USB plus can neglect the following chapter. Service USB plus is the professional version of his "small brother" Service USB classic and is best used in laboratories, fairs and for in- dustrial purposes. It has an integrated wide range power supply and can be used all over the world on every power outlet. The digi- tal outputs can directly drive lamps, relays and motors up to 15 watt. The Pulse width modulated outputs allow diferent motor speed and brightness of lights. The inputs can retrieve the status from switches and push buttons as well as the analog value from sensors in the range of 0-4.095V. The scope of delivery includes a lot of Software, so that you can use the Interface of nearly every Macintosh-Program. 2.1 System requirements A Macintosh with USB and OSX 10.3 to 10.5 is required to operate Service USB plus. For using the 12V/1.3A power outputs, the inter- face must be connected to a 115V or 230V power outlet. More than 100 Service USB plus can be controlled of one Macintosh 2.2 Scope of delivery • Service USB Plus (the interface) • USB A/B cable • power plug cord (available with EU, GB and US connector) • CD-ROM with driver and a lot of sample programs • OSX-Examples for Runtime Revolution, RealBasic, Apple- Script, FileMaker, RagTime, Xcode (C, C++, Objective-C, Co- coa, Java, AppleScriptStudio), 4th Dimension, MaxMSP, Adobe Director, BlueJ, Scratch, TCP/IP, Numbers and the UNIX-Shell.

Most functions are powered by this. Only the outputs are powered by the built in power supply, because the USB does not deliver enough power for this function. • One green LED „USB“. It must glow all the times, if the Macin- tosh- Driver can correspond to the Service USB plus - this LED will show the correct function. • One green LED „12V“ is connected to the internal 12V power supply. The power supply is only used for the digital outputs. If this LED is switched on, the outputs can be used. • Two red light bars with four LEDs each show the value of the analog inputs. Bönig und Kallenbach oHG • Dortmund • www.bkohg.com Service USB plus Bönig und Kallenbach oHG page 8 • Sixteen red LEDs show the status of the digital inputs and out- puts. • 21 cable clamps are mounted to the top for a fast connection of single wires and cords. All eight digital inputs, eight digital out- puts and two analogue inputs are connected to this clamps as well as GND, 5V and 12V. • One Sub D25 male connector on the upper left is connected with the same signals as the cable clamps. • One SUB D9 male connector on the lower left is the RS232 gate- way. The RS232 can send and receive up to 19200 Baud. It is not possible to control the interface via RS232. The RS232 is con- trolled by the Macintosh and is used for connecting serial de- vices. In addition there are lead through a 5V auxiliary voltage and some inputs and outputs .
