Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent influences of noise to improve the reliability by transmitting signals between a control part and its teaching box by radio. CONSTITUTION:A robot body 1 is connected to a control part 2 by a cable 3. A wireless teaching box 4 is constituted as a radio transmitter and receiver, and the robot body 1 is operated for a prescribed operation by the control output of the control 2 which receives commands from the teaching box 4 to communicate with it. If a signal is affected by noise on the way from the wireless teaching box 4 to the control part 2, the transmitted teaching signal and the signal received by the control part 2 do not coincide with each other, and data is canceled. When both signals coincide with each other, the control part 2 starts the normal operation to command the robot body 1 to operate as prescribed.

During the wireless signal transmission from the wireless teaching box to the control unit, for example, the teaching signal transmitted from the wireless teaching box and the control unit may be affected by noise from equipment such as electric motors. If the received signals do not match, they are immediately echoed back from the control section to the wireless teaching box, and at the same time, data in the CPU in the control section due to the mismatched signals is canceled. Then, depending on the situation due to the influence of the noise mentioned above, this echo pack action is repeated, and when the teaching signal and the signal received by the control unit match, the control unit starts normal operation and sends the signal to the robot body. Issues a predetermined operation command.
