A SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR OFF-LINE PROGRAMMING OF AN INDUSTRIAL ROBOT

摘要

The present invention relates to a system for off-line programming of an industrial robot (1) comprising a robot controller (2) for controlling the movements of the robot. The system further comprises an external computer (3) having a programming and simulation tool (10) with the capability of running one or more virtual robot controllers (12), and the real robot controller and the external computer are configured to allow communication with each other. The system further comprises a data transfer module (17) configured to, upon request, automatically transfer configuration and program data between the real robot controller and a virtual robot controller running on the external computer, and a filter component (18) configured to filter the transferred configuration and program data according to defined filtering rules.
