Description

機器人控制裝置 Robot control device

本發明有關一種機器人控制裝置,其係利用網路通訊技術,在與可攜式操作裝置之間進行各種資料的傳送與接收。 The invention relates to a robot control device, which uses network communication technology to transmit and receive various data to and from a portable operation device.

於專利文獻1~專利文獻4中,揭示有在被稱為教示器之可攜式操作裝置與機器人控制裝置之間進行無線通訊所構成的系統。 Patent Documents 1 to 4 disclose a system configured to perform wireless communication between a portable operation device called a teaching pendant and a robot control device.

在專利文獻1及專利文獻2所揭示的系統中,於可攜式操作裝置內部設有無線通訊部與有線通訊部。藉由該等文獻中所揭示的系統,無線TP(可攜式操作裝置)為經由線纜而連接至控制機器人動作的控制器。藉此,無線TP作為有線TP(可攜式操作裝置)而使用。 In the systems disclosed in Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2, a wireless communication section and a wired communication section are provided inside the portable operating device. With the systems disclosed in these documents, a wireless TP (Portable Operating Device) is a controller connected to a robot via a cable. Thereby, the wireless TP is used as a wired TP (portable operating device).

藉由專利文獻3中揭示之系統,有線TP經由線纜連接至捲繞於作業員腰部而得以支撐的無線化裝置。藉此,將有線TP作為無線TP來使用。 With the system disclosed in Patent Document 3, the wired TP is connected to a wireless device supported around the waist of an operator via a cable. Thereby, a wired TP is used as a wireless TP.

於專利文獻4揭示的系統中,在可攜式操作裝置內部設有無線通訊部與有線通訊部。倘若藉由此文獻所揭示的系統,當可攜式操作裝置載置於設在機器人控制裝置的專用置放台時,可攜式操作裝置之連接端子與機器人控制裝置之連接端子作電性連接。藉此,將可攜式操作裝置作為有 線TP來使用。 In the system disclosed in Patent Document 4, a wireless communication section and a wired communication section are provided inside the portable operating device. If the system disclosed in this document is used, when the portable operation device is placed on a dedicated placement table provided on the robot control device, the connection terminal of the portable operation device and the connection terminal of the robot control device are electrically connected. . In this way, the portable operating device is used as Line TP is used.

一般而言,由於無線TP並無牽引線纜之必要性,故而在作業性或是攜帶性方面極為優越。此外,即便從將一台無線TP使用於複數個機器人控制裝置的觀點來看,無線TP仍較有線TP更為優越。另一方面,從易受到通訊環境的影響、或是因充電不足而無法使用的這些觀點來看,無線TP則是較劣於有線TP。如專利文獻1~4中所記載,該等問題可藉由在有線TP中追加無線通訊部、或是另外準備無線化裝置的方式而得以解決。換言之,於專利文獻1~4中所記載的可攜式操作裝置,構成可作為有線TP來使用、亦可作為無線TP來使用。 Generally speaking, since wireless TP does not need the traction cable, it is extremely superior in terms of workability or portability. In addition, even from the viewpoint of using one wireless TP for a plurality of robot control devices, wireless TP is still superior to wired TP. On the other hand, wireless TPs are inferior to wired TPs from the standpoint that they are susceptible to the influence of the communication environment or cannot be used due to insufficient charging. As described in Patent Documents 1 to 4, these problems can be solved by adding a wireless communication unit to the wired TP or preparing a wireless device separately. In other words, the portable operating devices described in Patent Documents 1 to 4 can be configured to be used as a wired TP or as a wireless TP.

至於在使用有線TP之既存設備中,欲擷取無線TP所具有之優點的情況下,則可考慮以下這兩種方法。方法(1)將現有的有線TP置換成無線TP;以及方法(2)如專利文獻1~專利文獻4所記載,在有線TP中追加無線機能。 As for the existing equipment using wired TP, if you want to capture the advantages of wireless TP, you can consider the following two methods. Method (1) replaces the existing wired TP with a wireless TP; and method (2), as described in Patent Documents 1 to 4, adds a wireless function to the wired TP.

然而,在方法(1)中,並無法解決如容易受到通訊環境的影響、或是因充電不足而使得無法使用等之缺點。另外,在方法(2)中,由於將有線TP置換成無線化需要多數的元件,因此將造成可攜式操作裝置的重量増加。此外,對作業員而言,使用無線化裝置的構造將會有必須經常攜帶無線化裝置的負擔存在。據此,為了活用有線TP及無線TP雙方的優點,並非在有線TP中加上無線機能,而是除了有線TP以外,另外追加無線TP,共同使用有線TP與無線TP為最佳。 However, in the method (1), the disadvantages such as being susceptible to the influence of the communication environment or being unusable due to insufficient charging cannot be solved. In addition, in the method (2), replacing a wired TP with a wireless device requires a large number of components, and therefore increases the weight of the portable operating device. In addition, for the operator, the structure using the wireless device has a burden that the wireless device must be frequently carried. Accordingly, in order to make full use of the advantages of both wired TP and wireless TP, it is not to add wireless functions to wired TP, but to add wireless TP in addition to wired TP, and it is best to use wired TP and wireless TP together.

然而,當可同時操作有線TP以及無線TP雙方時,將會產生一些不好的狀況。例如當將有線TP以及無線TP雙方連接至一台機器人控制 裝置,構成可從有線TP以及無線TP雙方操作機器人時,將會產生有安全上的問題。因此,產業用機器人必須構成為,在機器人控制裝置與可攜式操作裝置之間進行一對一的雙向通訊。此外,產業用機器人還必須構成為當由持有可攜式操作裝置的作業員進行操作時,不可由其他的可攜式操作裝置進行操作。 However, when both wired TP and wireless TP can be operated at the same time, some bad situations will occur. For example, when both wired TP and wireless TP are connected to a robot control When the device is configured to operate the robot from both a wired TP and a wireless TP, a safety problem arises. Therefore, the industrial robot must be configured to perform one-to-one two-way communication between the robot control device and the portable operation device. In addition, the industrial robot must be configured such that it cannot be operated by another portable operation device when it is operated by an operator holding the portable operation device.

但是在上述習知技術中,卻完全沒有顧慮到當採取共用有線TP與無線TP之狀態時的安全性。 However, in the above-mentioned conventional technology, there is no concern about the security when the state of the wired TP and the wireless TP is shared.

以下,參照圖1~圖5,具體說明本發明之機器人控制裝置的一種實施形態。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of a robot control device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

如圖1所示,機器人控制系統1具備:機器人R、有線TP100A與無線TP100B、控制機器人R動作的機器人控制裝置RC。機器人R為一種進行電弧銲或點銲等作業的作業用機器人。在機器人R手腕部的前端為安裝有電弧銲炬、點銲槍等作業工具。另外,有線TP100A係指有線可攜式操作裝置,無線TP100B係指無線可攜式操作裝置。 As shown in FIG. 1, the robot control system 1 includes a robot R, a wired TP100A and a wireless TP100B, and a robot control device RC that controls the operation of the robot R. The robot R is a work robot that performs operations such as arc welding and spot welding. At the tip of the wrist of the robot R, working tools such as an arc torch and a spot welding gun are mounted. In addition, wired TP100A refers to a wired portable operating device, and wireless TP100B refers to a wireless portable operating device.

有線TP100A與無線TP100B具備安裝有Windows(註冊商標)等作業系統的微電腦。有線TP100A與無線TP100B還具備鍵盤130、顯示裝置140、以及緊急停止開關180等。作業員則是操作鍵盤130、實施機器人R的教示作業。顯示裝置140上顯示藉由教示操作而輸入的教示資料。當作業 員操作緊急停止開關180,便會使機器人R緊急停止。而在有線TP100A與無線TP100B背面,安裝有未圖示的賦能開關(enable switch)。當作業員在教示模式下操作賦能開關時,便可進行將電力供給至機器人R的伺服馬達、或是切斷電力供應。 The wired TP100A and wireless TP100B are equipped with a microcomputer on which an operating system such as Windows (registered trademark) is installed. The wired TP100A and wireless TP100B further include a keyboard 130, a display device 140, an emergency stop switch 180, and the like. The operator operates the keyboard 130 and performs teaching tasks of the robot R. The display device 140 displays teaching data input through teaching operations. When homework When the operator operates the emergency stop switch 180, the robot R is brought to an emergency stop. On the back of the wired TP100A and wireless TP100B, an enable switch (not shown) is installed. When the operator operates the energizing switch in the teaching mode, the servo motor of the robot R can be supplied with power or the power supply can be cut off.

來自有線TP100A的教示操作信號為經由有線通訊而傳輸至機器人控制裝置RC。來自無線TP100B的教示操作信號則經由無線通訊而傳輸至機器人控制裝置RC。教示操作信號包含有:為使機器人R藉由手動操作而移動的微動進料信號、用來輸入教示資料的教示信號、為了在緊急時能使機器人R緊急停止的緊急停止訊號、以及賦能訊號等。當由有線TP100A或無線TP100B傳輸該等教示操作信號,機器人控制裝置RC便會進行機器人R的微動進料操作、製作教示資料、緊急停止等各種處理。 The teaching operation signal from the wired TP100A is transmitted to the robot control device RC via wired communication. Teaching operation signals from the wireless TP100B are transmitted to the robot controller RC via wireless communication. The teaching operation signals include: a jog feed signal for moving the robot R by manual operation, a teaching signal for inputting teaching data, an emergency stop signal for emergency stopping the robot R in an emergency, and an enabling signal Wait. When these teaching operation signals are transmitted by the wired TP100A or wireless TP100B, the robot control device RC will perform various operations such as the jog feed operation of the robot R, the production of teaching materials, and the emergency stop.

如圖2(a)所示,機器人控制裝置RC具備有:做為控制中樞的主CPU(中央處理裝置)10、作為中繼部的交換式集線器20、接收單元30、以及連接至接收單元30的次序控制單元40。交換式集線器20將來自有線TP100A與無線TP100B之通訊資料進行中繼,進而分別傳輸至主CPU10與接收單元30。 As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the robot controller RC includes a main CPU (Central Processing Unit) 10 as a control center, a switching hub 20 as a relay unit, a receiving unit 30, and a connection to the receiving unit 30 The sequence control unit 40. The switching hub 20 relays the communication data from the wired TP100A and the wireless TP100B, and then transmits them to the main CPU 10 and the receiving unit 30, respectively.

主CPU10對因應於來自有線TP100A或是無線TP100B之教示操作信號的各種處理,具體而言,對教示資料之輸入或控制參數之設定等進行演算。此外,主CPU10為演算設於機器人R之各關節的驅動馬達之電流指令、輸出至未圖示之伺服放大器。藉此,驅動各關節的驅動馬達。另外,主CPU10為對有線TP100A與無線TP100B中的任一方,授予許可操作機器人R之操作權。亦即,主CPU10為一種操作權授予部,控制成可將有線TP100A 與無線TP100B中的任一方進行排他性的使用。 The main CPU 10 calculates various processes corresponding to the teaching operation signals from the wired TP100A or the wireless TP100B, and specifically, calculates the input of teaching data or the setting of control parameters. In addition, the main CPU 10 calculates a current command of a drive motor provided in each joint of the robot R, and outputs the current command to a servo amplifier (not shown). Thereby, the drive motor of each joint is driven. In addition, the main CPU 10 grants an operation right to the operation robot R to any one of the wired TP100A and the wireless TP100B. That is, the main CPU 10 is an operation right granting unit that controls the wired TP100A Exclusive use with any of the wireless TP100B.

交換式集線器20具有用於LAN連接的埠21~24。所謂的LAN連接,例如可舉例有藉由乙太網路(註冊商標)而進行的通訊連接,但並非僅限定於此。在埠21,裝卸有無線存取點50之通訊線L1。在埠22,裝卸具有線TP100A之通訊線L2。埠23則是連接至主CPU10,埠24為連接至接收單元30。無線存取點50為使用已知的通訊協定,與無線TP100B進行無線通訊。無線存取點50係相當於無線通訊部。 The switching hub 20 has ports 21 to 24 for LAN connection. The so-called LAN connection may be, for example, a communication connection via Ethernet (registered trademark), but it is not limited to this. At port 21, a communication line L1 of the wireless access point 50 is attached and detached. At port 22, a communication line L2 having a line TP100A is loaded and unloaded. Port 23 is connected to the main CPU 10, and port 24 is connected to the receiving unit 30. The wireless access point 50 performs wireless communication with the wireless TP100B using a known communication protocol. The wireless access point 50 corresponds to a wireless communication unit.

That is, the power supply to the servo motor which is the driving source of the robot R is interrupted.

此外,當連接端子T25、T26間與連接端子T27、T28間之至少任一方由短路狀態形成為非短路狀態、或是在緊急停止輸出電路35、36之繼電器接點S5~S8中至少開啟一個繼電器接點時,次序控制單元40則作動(未圖示的)遮斷器,中斷朝(未圖示之)伺服放大器的電力供給。另外,在後述的記載內容中,將朝伺服馬達之電力供給稱為「開啟(ON)伺服電源」,將朝伺服馬達之電力供給遮斷稱為「關閉(OFF)伺服電源」。 In addition, when at least one of the connection terminals T25 and T26 and between the connection terminals T27 and T28 is formed from a short circuit state to a non-short circuit state, or at least one of the relay contacts S5 to S8 of the emergency stop output circuits 35 and 36 is opened In the case of a relay contact, the sequence control unit 40 operates a circuit breaker (not shown) to interrupt the power supply to a servo amplifier (not shown).

首先,參照圖2(b)說明有線TP100A。 First, the wired TP100A will be described with reference to FIG. 2 (b).

如圖2(b)所示,有線TP100A具備有:CPU(中央處理裝置)110、ROM120、鍵盤130、顯示裝置140、以及有線LAN I/F(介面)150。CPU(中央處理裝置)110、ROM120、鍵盤130、顯示裝置140、以及有線LAN I/F(介面)150等各部分為經由匯流排190相互連接。有線LAN I/F150則經由通訊線L2而裝卸至交換式集線器20的埠22。有線TP100A為經由通訊線L2與交換式集線器20,可在有線的狀態下與機器人控制裝置RC之主CPU10進行通訊。作為此種情況下的通訊資料,列舉有如:因應來自有線TP100A之鍵盤130操作而產生的按鍵資訊,或是顯示裝置140之畫面資訊等各種資料。 As shown in FIG. 2 (b), the wired TP100A includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 110, a ROM 120, a keyboard 130, a display device 140, and a wired LAN I / F (Interface) 150. The CPU (Central Processing Unit) 110, ROM 120, keyboard 130, display device 140, and wired LAN I / F (Interface) 150 are connected to each other via a bus 190. The wired LAN I / F 150 is attached to and removed from port 22 of the switching hub 20 via the communication line L2. The wired TP100A is connected to the switching hub 20 via the communication line L2, and can communicate with the main CPU 10 of the robot control device RC in a wired state. As the communication data in this case, various data such as key information generated in response to the operation of the keyboard 130 of the wired TP100A, or screen information of the display device 140 are listed.

有線TP100A具備賦能開關170與緊急停止開關180。如圖4所示,當將賦能開關170進行開啟(ON)操作時,關閉分別設於一對電路C1、C2的常開接點S11、S12,而當賦能開關170進行關閉(OFF)操作時,則開啟常開 接點S11、S12。使用有線TP100A時,電路C1、C2為經由信號線L3及未圖示的接頭,連接到機器人控制裝置RC之連接端子部42的連接端子T31~T34。當信號線L3於連接至連接端子部42的狀態下,常開接點S11、S12的狀態由關閉變成開啟時,來自電路C1、C2的賦能訊號則會分別輸出至機器人控制裝置RC。 The wired TP100A includes an enable switch 170 and an emergency stop switch 180. As shown in FIG. 4, when the enabling switch 170 is turned on, the normally open contacts S11 and S12 respectively provided in a pair of circuits C1 and C2 are closed, and when the enabling switch 170 is turned off Normally open during operation Contacts S11, S12. When the wired TP100A is used, the circuits C1 and C2 are connected to the connection terminals T31 to T34 of the connection terminal portion 42 of the robot controller RC via the signal line L3 and a connector (not shown). When the signal line L3 is connected to the connection terminal portion 42 and the states of the normally open contacts S11 and S12 are changed from closed to open, the energizing signals from the circuits C1 and C2 are output to the robot control device RC, respectively.

當將緊急停止開關180進行關閉(OFF)操作時,開啟分別設於一對電路C3、C4的常閉接點S13、S14。電路C3、C4為經由信號線L3及未圖示的接頭,連接至機器人控制裝置RC之連接端子部42的連接端子T35~T38。在電路C3、C4連接至機器人控制裝置RC的狀態下,將緊急停止開關180進行關閉(OFF)操作時,將會開啟兩常閉接點S13、S14,使得緊急停止訊號分別由電路C3、C4輸出至機器人控制裝置RC。 When the emergency stop switch 180 is turned off, the normally-closed contacts S13 and S14 provided at the pair of circuits C3 and C4 are turned on, respectively. The circuits C3 and C4 are connection terminals T35 to T38 connected to the connection terminal portion 42 of the robot control device RC via the signal line L3 and a connector (not shown). When the circuits C3 and C4 are connected to the robot controller RC, when the emergency stop switch 180 is turned OFF, the two normally closed contacts S13 and S14 will be opened, so that the emergency stop signals are sent by the circuits C3 and C4 respectively Output to robot controller RC.

接著參照圖2(c),針對無線TP100B進行說明。有關在無線TP100B中之與有線TP100A相同的部分,則省略其詳細說明。 Next, the wireless TP100B will be described with reference to FIG. 2 (c). Regarding the same parts of the wireless TP100B as those of the wired TP100A, detailed explanations are omitted.

如圖2(c)所示,無線TP100B為以無線LAN I/F160來取代有線LAN I/F150這點,係與有線TP100A不同。如圖2(a)所示,無線TP100B可經由無線存取點50、通訊線L1、以及交換式集線器20,藉由無線而與機器人控制裝置RC之主CPU10進行通訊。作為在此種情況下的通訊資料,列舉有如:因應來自無線TP100B之鍵盤130操作所產生的按鍵資訊、或是顯示裝置140之畫面資訊等各種資料。 As shown in Fig. 2 (c), the wireless TP100B is different from the wired TP100A in that the wireless LAN I / F160 replaces the wired LAN I / F150. As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the wireless TP100B can communicate with the main CPU 10 of the robot control device RC wirelessly through the wireless access point 50, the communication line L1, and the switching hub 20. As the communication data in this case, various data such as key information generated in response to the operation of the keyboard 130 of the wireless TP100B or screen information of the display device 140 are listed.

雖然圖中未示,但無線TP100B具備有相當於電路C1~C4、常開接點S11、S12、以及常閉接點S13、S14的構造。在無線TP100B中,不同於有線TP100A,當操作賦能開關170而關閉一對常開接點S11、S12時,賦 能訊號將藉由無線LAN I/F160而以無線輸出。此外,當操作無線TP100B的緊急停止開關180、開啟一對常閉接點S13、S14時,緊急停止訊號將藉由無線LAN I/F160而以無線輸出。 Although not shown in the figure, the wireless TP100B has a structure corresponding to the circuits C1 to C4, the normally open contacts S11 and S12, and the normally closed contacts S13 and S14. In wireless TP100B, unlike wired TP100A, when a pair of normally open contacts S11 and S12 is closed by operating the enable switch 170, The energy signal will be output wirelessly via the wireless LAN I / F160. In addition, when the emergency stop switch 180 of the wireless TP100B is operated and a pair of normally closed contacts S13 and S14 are turned on, the emergency stop signal will be output wirelessly through the wireless LAN I / F160.

有關上述機器人控制裝置RC的作用,參照圖5的流程圖進行說明。詳細的內容為說明當主CPU10僅將操作權授予有線TP100A及無線TP100B中的任一方時的處理。在說明時,為將有線TP100A稱為有線TP、且將無線TP100B稱為無線TP。 The operation of the robot control device RC will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG. 5. The details are described when the main CPU 10 grants the operation right to only one of the wired TP100A and the wireless TP100B. In the description, the wired TP100A is referred to as a wired TP, and the wireless TP100B is referred to as a wireless TP.

(1.無論是有線TP或是無線TP均沒有確立與機器人控制裝置RC之間的通訊,沒有授予允許操作機器人R的操作權) (1. Neither wired TP or wireless TP has established communication with the robot controller RC, and has not been granted the right to operate the robot R)

首先,說明在有線TP及無線TP中之任一方均未被授予操作權的狀態下,由有線TP輸出有要求連接時的處理方式。 First, a description will be given of a processing method when the wired TP outputs a connection request in a state in which neither of the wired TP and the wireless TP is authorized to operate.

如圖5所示,在步驟ST1中,主CPU10為確認有無要求連接。當主CPU10確認到有由有線TP要求連接後(步驟ST1:Yes),移到步驟ST2。 As shown in FIG. 5, in step ST1, the main CPU 10 confirms whether or not a connection is requested. When the main CPU 10 confirms that a connection is requested by the wired TP (step ST1: Yes), it moves to step ST2.

在步驟ST2中,主CPU10為確認操作權的授予狀態。當操作權授予至有線TP及無線TP中任一方的情況下,例如,MAC位址等識別資訊被儲存(記憶)在機器人控制裝置RC之未圖示的RAM中。在此種情況下,主CPU10的作用在於,由RAM讀取識別資訊、確認操作權的授予狀態。在此,由於操作權並未授予有線TP或是無線TP中的任一方,因此識別資訊呈現NULL值。 In step ST2, the main CPU 10 is in a state of confirming the grant of the operation right. When the operation right is granted to either the wired TP or the wireless TP, for example, identification information such as a MAC address is stored (memorized) in a RAM (not shown) of the robot controller RC. In this case, the role of the main CPU 10 is to read identification information from the RAM and confirm the grant status of the operation right. Here, since the operation right is not granted to either the wired TP or the wireless TP, the identification information shows a NULL value.

在步驟ST3中,主CPU10藉由從RAM所讀取的識別資訊,判定操作權授予至有線TP及無線TP中的哪一方。在此,由於識別資訊顯示為NULL值,因此主CPU10在判斷操作權並未授予至有線TP及無線TP中的任 一方後(步驟ST3:No),移到步驟ST8。 In step ST3, the main CPU 10 determines which of the wired TP and the wireless TP is granted the operation right based on the identification information read from the RAM. Here, since the identification information is displayed as a NULL value, the main CPU 10 judges that the operation right has not been granted to any of the wired TP and wireless TP. After one party (step ST3: No), the process proceeds to step ST8.

在步驟ST8中,主CPU10為將操作權授予輸出有要求連接的有線TP。此外,主CPU10為在機器人控制裝置RC之未圖示的RAM中,儲存已授予操作權的有線TP之識別資訊。 In step ST8, the main CPU 10 outputs a wired TP that requires a connection to grant the operation right. In addition, the main CPU 10 stores identification information of the wired TP to which the operation right has been granted in a RAM (not shown) of the robot control device RC.

在步驟ST9中,主CPU10進行為了確立與有線TP間的通訊之處理。在確立通訊後,主CPU10將主旨為已將操作權授予有線TP的訊息通知有線TP。其結果,在有線TP之顯示裝置140上顯示主旨為已授予操作權的訊息。 In step ST9, the main CPU 10 performs processing for establishing communication with the wired TP. After the communication is established, the main CPU 10 notifies the wired TP of a message indicating that the operation right has been granted to the wired TP. As a result, a message indicating that the operation right has been granted is displayed on the display device 140 of the wired TP.

(2.在將操作權授予至有線TP及無線TP中任一方的狀態下,由未授予操作權的另一方之TP輸出有要求連接的情況) (2. In the state where the operation right is granted to either the wired TP or the wireless TP, the TP output of the other party who has not been granted the operation right may require a connection)

接著,說明在將操作權授予至有線TP及無線TP中任一方的狀態下,由未授予操作權的另一方之TP輸出有要求連接時的處理方式。在此,說明當已將操作權授予至有線TP的狀態下,由無線TP輸出有要求連接時的處理方式。 Next, a description will be given of a processing method when a connection is requested from the TP of the other party who has not been granted the operation right in a state where the operation right is granted to either the wired TP or the wireless TP. Here, a description will be given of a processing method when the wireless TP outputs a connection request when the operation right is granted to the wired TP.

在步驟ST1中,主CPU10確認有無連接要求。主CPU10在確認到來自無線TP的連接要求後(步驟ST1:Yes),移至步驟ST2。 In step ST1, the main CPU 10 confirms the presence or absence of a connection request. After confirming the connection request from the wireless TP (step ST1: Yes), the main CPU 10 moves to step ST2.

在步驟ST2中,主CPU10為了確認操作權的授予狀態,由RAM讀取識別資訊。在此,為從RAM讀取有線TP的識別資訊。 In step ST2, the main CPU 10 reads the identification information from the RAM in order to confirm the grant status of the operation right. Here, the identification information of the wired TP is read from the RAM.

在步驟ST3中,主CPU10依據由RAM所讀取的識別資訊,判定操作權要授予有線TP與無線TP中的哪一方。在此,當主CPU10判斷出操作權為授予至有線TP後(步驟ST3:No),移至步驟ST4。此時,主CPU10將主旨為已將操作權授予有線TP的訊息,通知至已輸出要求連接的無線TP。 In step ST3, the main CPU 10 determines which of the wired TP and the wireless TP is to be granted the operation right based on the identification information read by the RAM. Here, when the main CPU 10 determines that the operation right is granted to the wired TP (step ST3: No), it moves to step ST4. At this time, the main CPU 10 notifies a message that the operation right has been granted to the wired TP, and notifies that the wireless TP requesting connection has been output.

在步驟ST4中,主CPU10為確認操作權的轉讓條件。亦即,主CPU10為判斷目前的狀態是否可由有線TP授權操作權至無線TP。為了判斷是否可進行操作權的轉讓作業,主CPU10係讀取內部變數或旗標(flag)等資訊,確認機器人R或機器人控制裝置RC目前的狀態。例如,當機器人R或機器人控制裝置RC目前的狀態滿足下述條件時,主CPU10判斷無法進行操作權的轉讓。但是,以下所述之條件僅為一例,並非只能限定在下述條件中。 In step ST4, the main CPU 10 confirms the transfer condition of the operation right. That is, the main CPU 10 determines whether the current status can be authorized by the wired TP to the wireless TP. In order to judge whether the operation right transfer operation can be performed, the main CPU 10 reads information such as internal variables or flags, and confirms the current state of the robot R or the robot controller RC. For example, when the current state of the robot R or the robot control device RC satisfies the following conditions, the main CPU 10 determines that the operation right cannot be transferred. However, the conditions described below are only examples and are not limited to the following conditions.

‧處於教示模式、且機器人R的伺服電源為開啟(ON)狀態。 • The teaching power of the robot R is in the teach mode.

‧處於教示模式、且電力供給至伺服放大器。 • It is in teach mode and power is supplied to the servo amplifier.

‧訪問(讀取)設於TP中的外部記憶裝置。 ‧Access (read) an external memory device in the TP.

‧藉由作業員來設定使得操作權不至於會移轉到其他TP的鎖固機能。 ‧The locking function is set by the operator so that the operation right will not be transferred to other TPs.

在步驟ST5中,主CPU10判定是否處於可轉讓操作權的狀態。在此,假設機器人R或機器人控制裝置RC目前的狀態均未滿足上述條件。在這種情況下,主CPU10判斷可轉讓操作權(步驟ST5:Yes)、移至步驟ST6。另外,當機器人R或機器人控制裝置RC目前的狀態滿足上述任一個條件的情況下,主CPU10判斷無法轉讓操作權(步驟ST5:No)、結束本處理。 In step ST5, the main CPU 10 determines whether it is in a state of transferable operation right. Here, it is assumed that the current state of the robot R or the robot control device RC does not satisfy the above conditions. In this case, the main CPU 10 determines that the operation right is transferable (step ST5: Yes), and moves to step ST6. In addition, when the current state of the robot R or the robot control device RC satisfies any of the above conditions, the main CPU 10 determines that the operation right cannot be transferred (step ST5: No), and ends the present process.

在步驟ST6中,主CPU10解除目前與機器人控制裝置RC連接中的有線TP之操作權,同時切斷與有線TP之間的通訊。此外,解除操作權意指清除寫入機器人控制裝置RC之RAM中的識別資訊。 In step ST6, the main CPU 10 releases the operation right of the wired TP which is currently connected to the robot controller RC, and cuts off the communication with the wired TP at the same time. In addition, releasing the operation right means clearing the identification information written in the RAM of the robot controller RC.

在步驟ST7中,主CPU10為關閉(OFF)機器人R的伺服電源。在此情況下,較佳為藉由切斷對伺服放大器的電力供給而使伺服電源無法立即開啟(ON)。藉此,即使在剛授予操作權後的TP中誤觸賦能開關170、導 致進行開啟(ON)操作,仍可防止伺服電源的開啟(ON)。 In step ST7, the main CPU 10 turns OFF the servo power of the robot R. In this case, it is preferable that the servo power cannot be turned on immediately by cutting off the power supply to the servo amplifier. With this, even if the enabling switch 170, the guide is mistakenly touched in the TP immediately after the operation right is granted. The ON operation can still prevent the servo power from being turned ON.

在步驟ST8中,主CPU10為將操作權授予已輸出連接要求的無線TP。亦即,主CPU10為在機器人控制裝置RC之未圖示的RAM中,儲存已授予操作權之無線TP的識別資訊。 In step ST8, the main CPU 10 grants the operation right to the wireless TP that has output the connection request. That is, the main CPU 10 stores identification information of the wireless TP to which the operation right has been granted in a RAM (not shown) of the robot control device RC.

在步驟ST9中,主CPU10進行為了確立與無線TP之間的通訊之處理。在確立通訊之後,主CPU10將主旨為使操作權授予至無線TP的訊息通知無線TP。其結果,在無線TP的顯示裝置140上,顯示主旨為已授予有操作權的訊息。 In step ST9, the main CPU 10 performs processing for establishing communication with the wireless TP. After the communication is established, the main CPU 10 notifies the wireless TP of a message intended to grant the operation right to the wireless TP. As a result, the display device 140 of the wireless TP displays a message indicating that the operation right has been granted.

(3.有關操作權授予後的處理) (3. Processing after granting operation rights)

主CPU10僅依據來自授予有操作權的TP之教示操作信號,實施各種處理。亦即,主CPU10一方面僅分析解釋來自已授予操作權之TP的教示操作信號,另一方面則無視於來自未授予操作權之TP的教示操作信號。在本實施形態中,有線TP一直連接至機器人控制裝置RC。因此如圖3與圖4所示,由有線TP之緊急停止開關180所發出的緊急停止訊號為經由信號線L3及接收單元,傳遞至次序控制單元40。亦即,僅有來自有線TP的緊急停止訊號,才可無關於操作權,而可經常性的輸入至次序控制單元40。這意味著,雖然在將操作權授予無線TP時無法輸入來自有線TP的操作信號,但仍可僅藉由有線TP之緊急停止開關180來進行輸入。亦即,可將有線TP僅作為緊急停止開關而作用。 The main CPU 10 executes various processes based only on the teaching operation signal from the TP that has been granted the operation right. That is, the main CPU 10 analyzes and interprets only the teaching operation signal from the TP to which the operation right has been granted, and ignores the teaching operation signal from the TP to which the operation right has not been granted. In this embodiment, the wired TP is always connected to the robot controller RC. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the emergency stop signal sent by the emergency stop switch 180 of the wired TP is transmitted to the sequence control unit 40 through the signal line L3 and the receiving unit. That is, only the emergency stop signal from the wired TP can be input to the sequence control unit 40 without regard to the operation right. This means that although the operation signal from the wired TP cannot be input when the operation right is granted to the wireless TP, it can still be input only by the emergency stop switch 180 of the wired TP. That is, the wired TP can function only as an emergency stop switch.

若藉由此種結構,熟手可一面手持作為緊急停止開關的有線TP,一面讓不熟悉操作程序的生手操作無線TP。在此種情況下,即使生手不小心讓機器人R朝錯誤的方向微動進料,熟手仍可藉由自己所持有的有線 TP使機器人R緊急停止。 With this structure, a skilled person can hold the wired TP as an emergency stop switch while letting a newcomer unfamiliar with the operation procedure operate the wireless TP. In this case, even if the novice accidentally makes the robot R feed the feed in the wrong direction, the skilled hand can still use his own wired TP stops the robot R in an emergency.

此外,在本實施形態中,亦可以將已授予有操作權的TP未被操作的時間超過指定時間、例如10分鐘為條件,強制性的解除操作權。藉此,即使在作業者為了不使操作權從TP移轉而設定鎖固機能之後、離開現場後的情況下,也可在經過指定時間後移轉操作權。 In addition, in the present embodiment, the operation right may be forcibly released if the TP that has been granted the operation right has not been operated for more than a specified time, for example, 10 minutes. Thereby, even after the operator sets the locking function in order not to transfer the operation right from the TP, and after leaving the site, the operation right can be transferred after a specified time has elapsed.

如此,藉由本實施形態,在共用有線TP與無線TP之狀態下,僅將操作權授予有線TP與無線TP中之任一方,便可排他性的操作已授予有操作權之TP。藉此,可確保在共用有線TP與無線TP之狀態下的安全性。 Thus, with this embodiment, in a state where the wired TP and the wireless TP are shared, only the operation right is granted to either of the wired TP and the wireless TP, and the exclusive operation has been granted to the TP with the operation right. Thereby, security can be ensured in a state where wired TP and wireless TP are shared.
