Abstract
A robot operation control system for point-to-point movement is disclosed in which each motor is provided with a microcomputer and a predetermined acceleration/deceleration control is effected for each microcomputer, so that specified given points may be passed smoothly in a given sequence.
Claims4
A robot operation control system comprising control section means, a plurality of drivers which are driven by pulse signals from said control section means, and a plurality of stepping motors which are respectively driven on the basis of outputs from an associated one of said drivers to control the point-to-point movement of an arm, said control section means including a sequence control section, an operation control section and a plurality of drive control sections, said seqence control section applying signals representative of a target point to said operation control section in accordance with a prescribed sequence, said operation control section applying signals representative of directions and angles by which axes of the arm are rotated to said drive control sections, and said drive control sections being arranged in accordance with respective axes of the arm to apply the pulse signals representative of speeds dependent on predetermined acceleration/deceleration to said drivers, respectively, so that the arm is moved to the target point.
