A control system comprising:
- a robot control apparatus that controls an operation of a robot having a robot arm;
- and
- a transmission apparatus that transmits a safety confirmation signal indicating that it is confirmed that the robot is configured to be operated safely to the robot control apparatus, wherein
- the robot control apparatus includes
- a safety confirmation signal acquisition section that acquires the safety confirmation signal, and

A robot control apparatus that controls an operation of a robot having a robot arm, the robot control apparatus comprising:
- a safety confirmation signal acquisition section that acquires a safety confirmation signal indicating that it is confirmed that the robot is configured to be operated safely;
- and
- a notification signal output section that generates and outputs a notification signal for notifying that safety confirmation is required until the safety confirmation signal acquisition section acquires the safety confirmation signal when power is supplied to the robot control apparatus.
A control method of a robot control apparatus that controls an operation of the robot having a robot arm and includes a safety confirmation signal acquisition section that acquires a safety confirmation signal indicating that it is confirmed that the robot is configured to be operated safely, the control method comprising:
- a first step of generating and outputting a notification signal for notifying that safety confirmation is required until the safety confirmation signal acquisition section acquires the safety confirmation signal when power is supplied to the robot control apparatus;
- and
- a second step of stopping an output of the notification signal and permitting an operation of the robot arm when acquiring the safety confirmation signal.
