Abstract
A key input section which permits the execution of output controls is provided on a teach pendant. A control unit of a robot control system ignores all input movement requests to move the robot if a key of the key input section is depressed and if an output of the key is an output set for prohibiting the movement of the robot and is in an output state that is set.
Claims8
A robot control system comprising:
- teaching means which have a plurality of keys for teaching an operation program;
- robot control unit which controls an operation of a robot by the teaching of the operation program, which includes:
- input/output control means which inputs and outputs input/output control data from and to an external machine connected thereto and a hand attached to an arm of a robot;
- a control unit which assigns functions to instruct a control of the input/output control means to the keys of the teaching means;
- a first storage means which stores the functions assigned to the keys,
- a second storage means which stores designation conditions to place the robot in a standstill state when the assigned functions are executed.
