Abstract
An invention-based method for controlling a robot arrangement having at least one robot (R) and comprising the following steps: Establishing at least one general fault model (1) for a group of different treatment processes with predetermined processing errors (S1); Configuring the fault model for at least one specific processing error of a process of the group (S2); and Transmitting the configured fault model (1′) to a control system of the robot arrangement.
Claims14
Method for controlling a robot arrangement having at least one robot, comprising the steps of:
- arranging by a computer at least a general fault model for a plurality of different treatment processes with predetermined processing errors of a robot-based tool;
- configuring by the computer the fault model for at least a specific processing error of one of the plurality of treatment processes;
- transmitting by the computer the configured fault model to a control system of the robot arrangement;
- and
- controlling the robot arrangement with the control system in accordance with the fault model while checking for the occurrence of errors at a predetermined frequency.

A system for controlling a robot arrangement, comprising:
- at least one robot operating under the control of a control system and having at least one robot-based tool;
- and
- a program code stored in a non-transitory storage medium of a computer and, when executed by the computer, causing the computer to:
- establish at least a general model for a plurality of different treatment processes with predetermined processing errors of the at least one robot-based tool;
- configure the fault model for at least one specific processing error of one of the plurality of treatment processes;
- and
- transmit the configured fault model to the control system of the at least one robot;
- wherein the control system controls the at least one robot in accordance with the fault model while checking for the occurrence of errors at a predetermined frequency.
