Embodiment Construction

[0007] The programming method described here for robot control uses external binary inputs rather than fixed motion control and PLC software. Typically, the robot performs a cyclic process in which it checks whether a binary coded input has been set; if so, the robot performs the steps required by the input. Then it enters the loop again to detect another input.

[0008] Basically, the method exploits the robot's processing speed to infinitely execute short programs that integrate and compose synthetic complete programs in real time. This allows for modifications or additions to the programmed executable operations, which in the case of an arc welding robot can include modifying the torch pose / angle, initiating arc start / stop, point-to-point moves, etc., which occur sequentially and can be performed flexibly Modified to suit the application at hand. Inputs to the binary input string can come from switch boxes, joystick controllers, sensors, and / or external computer controls ...

Abstract

A method of programming robotic control includes the steps of defining executable actions in a control loop, and establishing sub-programs that effect modifications of or additions to the executable actions. The sub-programs are executed according to external binary inputs. The external binary inputs are provided during execution of the control loop so that the sub-programs can be executed as part of the control loop.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to programming methods, and more particularly, to robotic programming control using external binary inputs to modify programmed executable operations. Background technique [0002] Bots are especially good at performing the same automated tasks over and over again. However, in some industries, such as maintenance service organisations, jobs are not exactly the same from one time to the next. As a result, automation programs need to be constantly adjusted. However, conventional control programs do not allow such adjustments in the automated mode of operation, requiring rewriting of entire motion control code sections. [0003] Optionally, it is recommended to precisely fix and position all parts presented to the robot so that no adjustments to the automation program are required. However, this behavior adds significant cost and time to the operations performed. Contents of the invention [0004] In an exemplary embodi...
