An operation terminal for an industrial robot connected in use to a robot controller having parameter memory means, comprising:
- robot operation means for inputting and editing parameter data stored in said parameter memory means and supplying an operation instruction to said robot;
- comparing means for comparing the parameter data stored in said parameter memory means with previous parameter data having been stored in the past to detect a difference therebetween;
- data transmitting/receiving means for transmitting the parameter data to said robot controller and receiving the parameter data from said robot controller;
- parameter display means for displaying the parameter data;
- and
- microcomputer for controlling said robot operation means, said comparing means, said data transmitting/receiving means and said parameter display means, wherein
- the parameter data having been detected as being different from the previous parameter data by said comparing means is displayed on said parameter display means in a distinguished manner from the parameter data having been detected as being same as the previous parameter data.
A remote operation system for a robot wherein a first operation terminal and a second operation terminal are connected to each other through a communication line and said second operation terminal is connected to a robot controller having a parameter memory mean s in use, wherein
- said first operation terminal comprising:
- an interface connected to said second operation terminal through the communication line to transmit and receive data to and from said second operation terminal;
- robot operation means for inputting and editing parameter data stored in said parameter memory means and supplying an operation instruction to said robot;
- comparing means for comparing the parameter data stored in said parameter memory means with previous parameter data having been stored in the past to detect a difference therebetween;
- parameter display means for displaying the parameter data;
- and
- a microcomputer for controlling said interface, said robot operation means, said comparing means and said parameter display means, wherein
- said second operation terminal comprising:
- an interface connected to said first operation terminal through the communication line to transmit and receive data to and from said first operation terminal;
- robot operation means for inputting and editing parameter data stored in said parameter memory means and supplying an operation instruction to said robot;
- and
- data transmitting/receiving means for transmitting the parameter data to said robot controller and receiving the parameter data from said robot controller, wherein
- said robot controller comprising:
- data transmitting/receiving means for transmitting and receiving the parameter data of said parameter memory means to and from said second operation terminal;
- and
- a microcomputer for controlling said parameter memory means and said data transmitting/receiving means, wherein
- the parameter data having been detected as being different from the previous parameter data by said comparing means is displayed on said parameter display means in a distinguished manner from the parameter data having been detected as being same as the previous parameter data.
