Industrial Robot Software
Software for industrial robots consists of data objects and lists of instructions, known as program flow (list of instructions). For example
Go to Jig1
is an instruction to the robot to go to positional data named Jig1. Of course programs can also contain implicit data for example
Tell axis 1 move 30 degrees.
Data and program usually reside in separate sections of the robot controller memory. One can change the data without changing the program and vice versa. For example one can write a different program using the same Jig1 or one can adjust the position of Jig1 without changing the program which uses it.
