Control system of a robot

摘要

The controller has a first virtual machine (V1) comprising a computing engine (C3) and provided for controlling a process application (P) of a robot. A second virtual machine (V2) comprises two computing engines (C1, C2) that are provided for controlling a drive (A) of the robot. A third virtual machine (V3) comprises a computing engine (C4) for user communication, data processing and/or data administration. A virtual bus (B) i.e. Ethernet for control automation technologycommunicates the first virtual machine with the second and third virtual machines and the drive. The virtual machines are designed as a Java virtual machine(RTM: object-oriented programming language). An independent claim is also included for a method for controlling a robot.
