Generally speaking, industrial robots are composed of three major parts and six subsystems, the three major parts being the mechanical part, the sensing part, and the control part; The six subsystems can be divided into mechanical structure systems, drive systems, sensing systems, robot environment interaction systems, human-computer interaction systems, and control systems.
Compared to traditional industrial equipment, industrial robots have many advantages, such as ease of use, high level of intelligence, high production efficiency and safety, ease of management, and significant economic benefits, making them able to work in high-risk environments.
So what are the functions that the industrial robot control system needs to achieve?
The robot control system is an important component of robots, which is used to control the manipulator to complete specific work tasks. Its basic functions are as follows:
1. Memory function: storing operation sequence, motion path, motion mode, motion speed, and information related to production processes.
2. Teaching function: offline programming, online teaching, indirect teaching. Online teaching includes teaching box and guided teaching.
3. Functions for contacting peripheral devices: input and output interfaces, communication interfaces, network interfaces, and synchronization interfaces.
4. Coordinate setting function: There are four coordinate systems: joint, absolute, tool, and user-defined.
5. Human machine interface: teaching box, operation panel, display screen.
6. Sensor interfaces: position detection, vision, tactile, force sensing, etc.
7. Position servo function: multi axis linkage of robot, motion control, speed and acceleration control, dynamic compensation, etc.
8. Fault diagnosis safety protection function: system status monitoring during operation, safety protection under fault status, and fault self-diagnosis.
Industrial robots are widely used in the industrial field as multi joint manipulators or multi degree of freedom machine devices. They have a certain degree of automation and can rely on their own power sources and control capabilities to achieve various industrial processing and manufacturing functions. Industrial robots are widely used in various industrial fields such as electronics, logistics, and chemical engineering.
