Abstract
To correct delayed transmission of instructions associated with increased communication load on a communications line, so as to safely and reliably control a working robot, a system for controlling an operation unit performing a plurality of operations is configured to include a working robot and a controlling personal computer transmitting in operation a command via a wireless LAN and a wired LAN to control an operation. The controlling personal computer detects the load of a communication between the working robot and the controlling personal computer and limits a predetermined one of the plurality of operations depending on the detection result.
Claims6
A control system for controlling an operation unit performing a plurality of operations, comprising:
- an instruction unit to transmit an instruction to said operation unit to control said operation unit;
- a detector to detect a time required for a communication provided between said operation unit and said instruction unit;
- and
- an operation controller to limit a predetermined operation of said plurality of operations, depending on a detection result from said detector.
A control system for controlling an operation unit performing a plurality of operations, comprising:
- an instruction unit to transmit an instruction to said operation unit to control said operation unit;
- a detector to detect a load of a communication between said operation unit and said instruction unit;
- and
- an operation controller to limit a predetermined operation of said plurality of operations, depending on a detection result from said detector, wherein
- said operation controller gradually limits an operation rate of said predetermined operation depending on a level of the load detected by said detector.
