Abstract
A debugging system in which, when any trouble occurs in robot program using variables and debugging is to be performed, a specific variable as the probable cause of the trouble and a relevant reference variable are specified, and presence or absence of the specific variable in the called-up robot program is detected. When any specific variable appears, the values of the specific variable and the reference variables are acquired and displayed together with the robot program information.
Claims7
A debugging system for robot program, which controls a robot based on instructions of robot program including variables by using a robot controller, and debugs the robot program, said debugging system comprising:
- an input unit which inputs a specific variable name and a reference variable name as pursuit information for debugging;
- a display unit which displays the pursuit information input by said input unit;
- a memory unit which contains a variable area that stores the variables, a pursuit information area that stores the pursuit information, a trace area that stores the result of debugging, a robot program area that stores robot program entered by an operator, and a basic program area that stores program executed by a processor;
- and
- a specific variable detection unit which detects that the specific variable has been used in the robot program,
- wherein robot program information and the values of the specific variable and the reference variable are acquired from said variable area based on the output of said specific variable detection unit, stored in said trace area, and also output to said display unit.
