Abstract
One of the most important problems for industrial implantation of Flexible Manufacturing Systems is communication between different devices and computers. The standardised use of local area networks (LANs), together with the power of available computers has significantly reduced communications difficulties. The next key challenge to be addressed is that of enhanced robot programming to implement integrated manufacturing processes. A proposal to operate a robotised system through an Ethernet network is presented in this paper. The system uses LAN features and socket programming to (i) implement a computer-robot link to allow an off-line robot programming, (ii) share the robotised system from a computer server and (iii) monitor all tasks, and corresponding status of the system from any node in the LAN.
