Control device for displaying a relationship between robot output and device input

A robot comprising:

• an arm configured to move, and
• a processor that is configured to execute computer-executable instructions so as to control the robot,
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• display a first image that represents the robot one or more first input/output images that respectively represent a robot input/output of the robot, a second image that represents a peripheral device, one or more second input/output images that respectively represent a device input/output of the peripheral device, and an input/output edit screen that accepts an input/output relationship in which an output of the robot is an input of the peripheral device by associating a first input/output image selected among the one or more first input/output images with a second input/output image selected among the one or more second input/output images, on a display;
• and
• control the robot based on the input/output relationship,
• wherein each of the output of the robot and the input of the peripheral device causes the robot and the periaheral device to perform a synchronous operation or an asynchronous operation that is synchronously or asynchronously performed between the robot and the peripheral device respectively,
• when the first input/output image corresponds to the synchronous operation of the robot, the second input/output image corresponds to only the synchronous operation of the peripheral device, and
• when the first input/output image corresponds to the asynchronous operation of the robot, the second input/output image corresponds to only the asynchronous operation of the peripheral device.

A robot system comprising:

• a robot;
• and
• a control device that comprises a processor, the processor being configured to execute computer-executable instructions so as to control the robot;
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• display a first image that represents the robot, one or more first input/output images that respectively represent a robot input/output of the robot, a second image that represents a peripheral device, one or more second input/output images that respectively represent a device input/output of the peripheral device, and an input/output edit screen that accepts an input/output relationship in which an output of the robot is an input of the peripheral device by associating a first input/output image selected among the one or more first input/output images with a second input/output image selected among the one or more second input/output images, on a display;

• control the robot based on the input/output relationship,
• wherein each of the output of the robot and the input of the peripheral device causes the robot and the peripheral device to perform a synchronous operation or an asynchronous operation that is synchronously or asynchronously performed between the robot and the peripheral device, respectively,
• when the first input/output image corresponds to the synchronous operation of the robot the second input/output image corresponds to only the synchronous operation of the peripheral device, and
• when the first input/output image corresponds to the asynchronous operation of the robot, the second input/output image corresponds to only the asynchronous operation of the peripheral device.
