Universal programming method and programmer for industrial robot

Abstract

The invention provides a universal programming method and a programmer for an industrial robot, and aims to reduce the design and implementation threshold of an automatic project, realize quick programming of the industrial robot and reduce the time cost and even the labor cost of project development. The programmer comprises an interactive terminal used for obtaining user operation and providinga programming environment, an integrated control panel used for converting a program written by a user through the interaction terminal into a system program language of the specified industrial robot, and a communication interface used for being connected with an industrial robot to perform data interaction. The programming method comprises the steps that a user-oriented programming environment is provided, and a user compiles an industrial robot program through a programming language; providing a database in which system program languages of a plurality of industrial robots are stored; matching an industrial robot program written by a user to a system program language corresponding to the industrial robot according to a rule, and compiling to generate a program file in a corresponding format; and importing the program file in the corresponding format into an industrial robot.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the application field of industrial robots, in particular to a general programming method and programmer for industrial robots. Background technique [0002] With the development of intelligent manufacturing, a large number of industrial robot brands have appeared on the market. In order to increase users' dependence on their products and reflect their own brand characteristics, each brand of industrial robots has its own operating system and programming language, which are incompatible with each other. In addition to the different programming languages, the differences between industrial robot operating systems are also reflected in the format of their program files, for example: the program exported by ABB’s system is a mod file, while the program exported by Nanjing Estun’s company is a tip file . [0003] In essence, the programming languages ​​of industrial robots are similar in principle. The core part of the industria...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

For engineers and students majoring in automation, because the programming languages ​​of robots of different brands are different, and the writing process is cumbersome, the learning difficulty is increased and the time cost is increased.

[0006] 2) Increase the cost of automation equipment integrators

For integrators, the robot brands and programming languages ​​that engineers are familiar with are different, and companies are restricted in recruitment; if different projects use different brands of robots, engineers need to learn new programming languages ​​and develop new programming habits. further increased business costs

[0007] 3) Cause customers to rely on integrators

In the long run, its incompatibility is not conducive to the development of Industry 3.0 and Industry 4.0 in the future, and the industrial robot program needs to be simplified
