Abstract
A method for controlling an industrial robot are disclosed, wherein the method is performed by a robot controller system, the robot controller system includes a local part connected to an industrial robot and a remote cloud part connectable to the local part. The local part includes a first real-time partition and a second non-real-time partition, and the method includes the steps of: storing a local cache of a complete file system of the robot controller system in the second non-real-time partition; storing the complete file system in the remote cloud part; and controlling the industrial robot in real time from the first real-time partition.
Claims10
A method for controlling an industrial robot (1), the method being performed by a robot controller system, the robot controller system comprising a local part (3) connected to an industrial robot and a remote cloud part (4) connectable to the local part, the local part comprising a first real-time partition (5) and a second non-real-time partition (6), and the method comprising the steps of:
- storing (10) a local cache of a complete file system of the robot controller system in the second non-real-time partition (6);
- storing (11) the complete file system in the remote cloud part (4);
- and
- controlling (15) the industrial robot in real time from the first real-time partition (5).
A robot controller (3) for an industrial robot (1), the robot controller being connected to an industrial robot (1) and being connectable a remote cloud part (4), the robot controller (3) comprising a local first real-time partition (5) and a local second non-real-time partition (6), wherein the first real-time partition is configured to control the industrial robot in real-time, the second non-real-time partition is configured to store a local cache of a complete file system stored in the remote cloud part.
A computer program product (62, 63) comprising a computer program (64, 65) and computer readable storage means on which the computer program is stored, the computer program comprising computer program code which, when run on a processor of a robot controller (2), causes the robot controller to:
- store (10) a local cache of a complete file system of the robot controller in a second non-real-time partition;
- store (11) the complete file system of the robot controller in a remote cloud part;
- and
- control (15) an industrial robot in real time from a first real-time partition.
