Title:
ROBOT CONTROLLER AND MONITORING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3305451
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To simultaneously monitor the operating state of a specific robot through plural monitoring devices and then to simultaneously monitor the operating states of plural robots through an optional monitoring device by providing an articular angle server on plural robot controllers connected together via a network to send the present value of the articular angle to an optional monitoring device.
CONSTITUTION: An articular angle storage means 12 is provided to store the present value of the articular angle together with a network communication part 10 through which the communication is carried out between monitor devices via a communication network 4, and an articular angle server 11 which sends the present value of the articular angle stored in the means 12 back to an external monitor device in response to a request command received from an optional external monitor device for the articular angle data. Furthermore a simulation switching means 8 is added to cut the articular angle target command to each articular servo control part from a track generating part 7 and to set the target command value to the present angle value stored in the means 12.
