Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a distributed robot control system, as shown in fig. 1, including: a main controller 100, five sub-controllers 200, five drivers 300 respectively communicating with the main controller 100, a control module 400 electrically connected with the sub-controllers 200; the main controller 100 is configured to split a control task of the entire robot into five small tasks, send the five small tasks to the corresponding sub-controllers 200, receive processing results fed back by the five sub-controllers 200, and respectively control the corresponding five drivers 300 according to the processing results; the five sub-controllers 200 are configured to receive the tasklets sent by the main controller 100, and generate corresponding processing results for the tasklets and send the processing results to the main controller 100; five of the drivers 300 are used to receive the corresponding processing results sent by the main controller 100 and drive the corresponding control modules 400.
The core idea of the present invention is to divide the whole control task of the robot into a plurality of subtasks, then send the subtasks to different sub-controllers 200, perform operation processing on the corresponding subtasks by each sub-controller to obtain corresponding results, and feed back the results processed by the sub-controllers to the overall main controller 100 for summary integration, and at the same time, control the corresponding drivers 300 according to the processing results of the sub-controllers to drive the corresponding control modules 400, so that the sub-controllers 200 can be set to five, and can also be increased or decreased according to the specific requirements of the robot.
The main controller 100 and the sub-controller 200 are both provided with central processing units, and the driver 300 can select a dc driver with a larger power density, and the dc driver has an IO signal interface and an analog interface.
The main controller 100 can complete the motion control of the robot, and the controllers are designed based on a powerful Intel x86Skylake framework and a real-time industrial Ethernet, on the platform, the controllers can process axial motion of space coordinates and three-dimensional space motion control tasks of multi-axis interpolation of the robot, and the controllers can easily realize the planning and control of the motion track of the robot through a standard P L C-OPEN motion control module and an extended Scramp motion control module.
The main controller 100 integrates an EtherCAT master station module to easily communicate with industrial bus devices (such as servo motors and digital input and output signals). The bus management module can realize the processing and function control of the bus communication information under the Codesys environment.
In addition, the master controller 100 also includes a CNC programming environment that teaches and records the position of the robot in the CNC program through a graphical interface, and then can directly recall the position information.

Meanwhile, the main controller 100 exchanges data with the drive 300 in the same manner.
In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the EtherCAT master module 102 communicates with the EtherCAT slave module 101 via an EtherCAT fieldbus.
At present, CANbus (Contro LL er Area network-work Bus controller local Area network) Bus or Rs485(485 signal universal serial port protocol) Bus among the robot control system, although CANbus or Rs485 Bus are stable in communication, have higher anti-interference performance, but it can't satisfy the requirement of high-grade numerical control device to real-time and reliability, and simultaneously, the CANbus or Rs485 Bus expansibility that present robot control system adopted is relatively poor, and hardware wiring is complicated.
The circulation of data is realized through the EtherCAT field bus, the safety performance level of the system is guaranteed, the safety performance of the system is improved, meanwhile, the EtherCAT field bus is adopted for communication, the hardware wiring of the robot can be reduced, and the real-time performance and the precision of robot control are improved.
The EtherCAT (safety over EtherCat) field bus is an open real-time Ethernet communication protocol, and establishes a new standard for the real-time performance and the topology flexibility of the system. In the current industrial field, an EtherCAT field bus is widely applied to field high-speed data transmission as a high-performance bus.
The EtherCAT master station module 102 periodically accesses each EtherCAT slave station module 201 to realize input and output refreshing of I/O data of the EtherCAT slave station module 201.
Control methods that cannot be achieved with conventional fieldbus systems can be achieved with the superior performance of EtherCAT technology. This also forms a super speed control loop via the bus. Functions that previously required local dedicated hardware support can now be mapped in software, with enormous bandwidth resources allowing state data to be transmitted in parallel with any data. The EtherCAT technology enables the communication technology to be matched with modern high-performance industrial PC, and a bus system is no longer the bottleneck of a control concept. Data transfer for distributed I/O exceeds performance that can only be achieved by local I/O interfaces.

In specific implementation, the main controller 100 and the five sub-controllers 200 communicate with the EtherCAT master station module 102 through a uniquely designed shared memory technology to perform data interaction. The main controller 100 receives the processing results returned from the five sub-controllers 200, and transmits corresponding path information to each driver 300 in real time.
The shared memory technology is an efficient interprocess communication mode, and data between data sharing processes are not transmitted but directly access a memory. In order to exchange information among a plurality of processes, a kernel specially reserves a memory area, the memory area needs to be mapped to a private address space of the kernel by a process to be accessed, and at the moment, the process can directly read the memory without copying data, so that the efficiency is greatly improved.
Shared memory refers to a large amount of memory that can be accessed by different Central Processing Units (CPUs) in a multi-processor system. Since a plurality of CPUs needs to access the memory quickly, the memory is cached (Cache). After any cached data is updated, the shared memory needs to be updated immediately since other processors may also need to access the data, otherwise different processors may use different data. Shared memory is a communication method between multiple processes in Unix, and this method is usually used for communication between multiple processes of one program, and in fact, information can be transferred between multiple programs through shared memory.
