Embodiment Construction

[0040] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments using the drawings.

[0041] (implementation form)

[0042] figure 1 It is a configuration diagram showing a robot system according to an embodiment of the present invention. exist figure 1 Among them, a plurality of robot controllers 12A to 12F are connected by a communication line 11 . Generally, a communication cable that transmits electrical signals is used as the communication line 11, but wireless communication or optical communication may be used as long as it has a structure that can transmit electrical signals. The respective robot control devices 12A to 12F are connected to the robots 13A to 13F. The respective robot control devices 12A to 12F control the operations of the robots 13A to 13F, respectively.

[0043] figure 2 It is a figure which schematically shows the structure of the robot control apparatus of the robot system of this embodiment. The robot control device 21 is co...

Abstract

A ROBOT SYSTEM, a robot control device, and a software updating method for the robot system. The robot system includes a transmission side robot controlling device (21) and a receiving side robot controlling device (21) which are respectively provided with an EPROM (27) which stores a software updating program and a robot motion control software; a RAM (24) which stores the software updating program read out from the first storage unit; and a storage medium (26B) which stores an updating software, so that an external terminal or a host computer for software updating is not required, a unified use of an old version in a plurality of robot control devices is possible, verification of the currently stored version is not necessary, and updating can be performed at a high speed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a robot system for updating software stored in a robot control device and a software update method for the robot system. Background technique [0002] A conventional software update method for a robot controller is performed by replacing a PROM in which software is written on a substrate. However, recently, with the popularization of EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) such as flash memory which can be electronically erased / written, there is a method of connecting an external terminal such as a computer and a robot controller through a communication cable, And transfer the software from the external terminal to the control device to replace the software in the control device. Furthermore, a robot controller has been proposed in which an external terminal and the robot controller are connected via a network line, and a single external terminal can simultaneously update software of a plurality of robot control...
