1.3 TYPES OF COMMANDS

In the previous section, we saw how SCOL is used to express the action of the robot. Here, we explain a little bit more about SCOL commands themselves.

In addition to commands like "MOVE A" which actually move the robot, there are many other commands which do such things as send signals to other equipment (such as conveyors, parts feeders, process computers, etc.) or direct the robot to do the same thing over and over again. Table 1.1 presents a list of SCOL commands.

All SCOL commands can be roughly classified into one of six categories.

(1)Movement control commands

These commands move the robot. Commands which temporarily stop the robot, interrupt movement, or restart the robot are also included in this category. Commands which actually move the robot are called movement commands.

(2)Program control commands

Program control commands control the execution of the program by doing such things as executing certain parts of the program in accordance with external signals or causing portions of the program to be carried out repeatedly.

(3)I/O (Input/output) control commands

These commands are used to read in (input) or send out (output) signals to and from external equipment, such as the teach pendant. Data input/output of hand open/close communication channel are included in the I/O control command.

(4)Movement condition commands

These commands are used to specify the configuration and speed of various joints of the robot while it is moving.

(5)Calculator commands

These commands are used to invoke (use) mathematical functions such as the trigonometric functions (sin, cos, etc.) and the square root function.
