APPENDIX E. EXTERNAL SCRIPT CONTROL API
E.0 Concept
The cooperative robot RB series can be operated for various environments and purposes. It
can be used in conjunction with multiple RB series or other systems. In conjunction with the
vision system, movement coordinates can be changed in real time, or used as part of a
user's existing system.
The user can control the robot with teaching pendant (tablet UI), but it provides a way to
control the robot from any external controller for user convenience or operation.
The RB series receives script commands by default and executes those commands. The
task of writing a motion using the teaching pendant (tablet UI) and executing the script of
the file in order is a general operation method. The following method described in this
document is an alternative method of receiving a command script from another external
device to control a robot of the RB series.
The control syntax provided in the teaching pendant / tablet UI can be implemented by the
user directly from the external control device, and the robot operation commands / IO
control commands are sent according to the user’s use case.
The following document describes an example of driving a robot with the above concepts.
