Abstract

The present invention provides a controller in wireless communication with an operation panel, a wireless module and a wireless repeater, so that a possibility of interruption of wireless communication between the controller and a wireless operation panel can be significantly reduced. The wireless system includes a robot and a controller for controlling the robot. When the robot is to be taught, ahuman uses a wireless teaching pendant so as to teach the robot. The controller has a wireless module for wirelessly communicating with the teaching pendant, and the wireless module is configured toreceive a signal from the teaching pendant via at least one wireless repeater, as well as a signal directly transmitted from the teaching pendant. In other words, the wireless module receives a multiplexed signal generated by multiplexing signals from the teaching pendant by using at least one wireless repeater.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a control device, a wireless module, and a wireless repeater for controlling machines such as robots and machine tools and wirelessly communicating with an operation panel for performing teaching and the like on the machines. Background technique [0002] When performing teaching and operation of machines such as robots and CNC machine tools, a wireless operation panel capable of wireless communication with a control device of the machine may be used. For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-233817, an automatic machine system is disclosed, which includes: a mechanism unit having one or more drive mechanisms, a controller for the drive control mechanism unit, and a teaching device for the operation mechanism unit. It is also described that the teaching pendant includes: a teaching pendant communication unit that performs wireless communication with the controller; The controller communication unit...
