Abstract
This system is a data collection system collecting a robot operation-related data/signal from a robot controller. The data collection system includes a data collection condition setting unit setting a collection condition of the robot operation-related data/signal from the robot controller and a data storage unit storing the robot operation-related data/signal collected from the robot controller. A shared memory inside which the data storage unit and the data collection condition setting unit are formed is formed in a substrate which can be mounted on an expansion slot of the robot controller. According to this system, a data collection function can be post-installed to an existing robot controller so as to arbitrarily select and collect various data on the robot operation.
Claims15
A data collection system configured to collect a data and/or a signal on a robot operation from a robot controller, comprising:
- a data collection condition setting unit configured to set a collection condition of the data and/or signal on the robot operation from the robot controller;
- and
- a data storage unit configured to store the data and/or signal on the robot operation collected from the robot controller,
- wherein a shared memory inside which the data storage unit and the data collection condition setting unit are formed is formed in a substrate which can be mounted on an expansion slot of the robot controller.
A data collection method configured to collect a data and/or a signal on a robot operation from a robot controller, comprising the steps of:
- setting a data collection condition to set a collection condition of the data and/or signal on the robot operation from the robot controller;
- and
- storing a data to store the data and/or signal on the robot operation collected from the robot controller in accordance with a collection condition set in the step of setting a data collection condition,
- wherein a shared memory inside which a unit of performing the step of storing a data and a unit of performing the step of setting a data collection condition are formed is formed in a substrate which can be mounted on an expansion slot of the robot controller.
