A method comprises receiving by a control system a sequence of symbols, translating the received sequence of symbols into a batch of commands parsable by an electronic controller of the electromechanical medical device, sending the batch of commands from the control system to the electromechanical device, and causing by the electronic controller the electromechanical medical device to execute the batch of commands on the electromechanical medical device.

A control system 1 includes a first controller, and a second controller. The second controller includes a program storage module that stores two or more coordinate conversion programs, and a control processing module 240 that acquires program designation information for designating one of two or more coordinate conversion programs from the first controller. Additionally, the control processing module may acquire a first operation command in the coordinate system for the first controller from the first controller, and convert the first operation command to an operation target value of two or more joint axes of a multi-axis robot using the coordinate conversion programs according to the program designation information. Driving power according to the operation target value may be output to the joint axes.

A robotic program of an industrial robot is simulated. Inputs on a robotic program of a robot are received. The robotic program of the robot is represented with a neutral representation modeled with a neutral language. Specific code portions of the robotic program in the neutral representation are mapped with corresponding specific code portions of a native representation modeled with a native language of the at least one robot. The robot program in simulated in one of the neutral representation and the native representation. Corresponding code portions of the neutral representation and of the native representation of the robotic program are synchronized via the mapping.

An engineering tool coordination device includes a first tool interface configured to acquire first data having a first data format usable to an engineering tool, a data converter configured to convert the first data into second data usable to the control program, the second data having a second data format, a program provider configured to provide the second data to the control program, a second tool interface configured to acquire a first test request having a first test request format from the engineering tool, a test converter configured to convert the first test request into a second test request executable in the control program, the second test request having a second test request format, and a test manager configured to cause to execute an operation test program in the control program and to operate an operation test using the second data on a basis of the second test request.

A control system, a control method, and a computer readable medium having stored thereon a computer executable program code for controlling electromechanical medical devices is disclosed herein. The method comprises: receiving by a control system a sequence of symbols; translating the received sequence of symbols into a batch of commands parsable by an electronic controller of the electromechanical medical device; sending the batch of commands from the control system to the electromechanical device; and causing by the electronic controller the electromechanical medical device to execute the batch of commands on the electromechanical medical device.

For an improved management of a postprocessor, for machining with a machine tool, a computer-implemented method includes providing toolpath data for machining a workpiece with a tool along a corresponding toolpath. The tool is comprised by a machine tool that is numerically controlled by a control device. Sample machine code is provided. Atrial postprocessor software component for determining machine code using toolpath data is provided. Trial machine code is determined using the trial postprocessor software component and the toolpath data. A sample code architecture of the sample machine code and a trial code architecture of the trial machine code are determined. Characteristics of the sample machine code are determined by comparing the sample code architecture with the trial code architecture, and a new postprocessor software component is determined by incorporating the characteristics into the trial postprocessor software component.
