The robot control system includes a first control device and a second control device network-connected to the first control device to control a robot. The first control device includes a selection unit configured to enable any one of a plurality of sources that provide information about generation of a command instructing behavior of the robot, and a first communication unit configured to transmit a command generated according to the information from the enabled source in the plurality of sources to the second control device. The second control device includes a second communication unit configured to receive the command transmitted from the first control device, and a command value generation unit configured to sequentially generate a command value for driving each axis of the robot so as to provide the behavior instructed by the command from the first control device.

In a robot control system, a storage unit stores a plurality of programs corresponding to tasks for a robot to perform. A reception unit receives selections made by a user, which designate a task for the robot to perform and attribute information related to a program causing the robot to perform the task among the plurality of programs. An acquisition unit acquires the program for performing the task among the plurality of programs from the storage unit based on the task and the attribute information. A robot control unit controls the robot in accordance with the acquired program.

A numerical controller capable of temporarily executing dedicated function software includes a dedicated function software reading unit configured to read, in response to a reading condition being satisfied, the dedicated function software into a primary storage area mainly accessed by a CPU, dedicated function software execution unit configured to execute the dedicated function software as a process in response to an execution condition being satisfied, and a dedicated function software termination unit configured to stop execution of the process of the dedicated function software and delete the dedicated function software from the primary storage area in response to a termination condition being satisfied.

An information processing device in accordance with the present invention provides assistance for displaying correct entry candidates depending on circumstances when entering a machining program. The information processing device includes a program collection unit configured to collect programs entered in numerical controllers, a program entry history storage unit configured to store the collected programs, a ranking information creation unit configured to create ranking information based on counting and scoring of the programs stored in the program entry history storage unit, a ranking information storage unit configured to store the ranking information created by the ranking information creation unit 11, and a ranking information distribution unit configured to distribute the ranking information stored in the ranking information storage unit to the numerical controllers.

To provide a control panel having NC function for machine tool, which is capable of using an information medium that is easily and securely manageable without requiring manual input of information to the control unit for simplifying the data reading system construction. The control panel having NC function for machine tool includes an image pickup device for reading a matrix-type two-dimensional code, which is installed on the front surface of the control panel, or on the on-hand manual pulse generator connected to the control panel. The control unit inside the control panel includes a reader which processes image data of the matrix type two-dimensional code captured by the image pickup device, and outputs the image data as read data, and start driving control to the machining section based on the work instruction information contained in the read data.

A numerical controller extracts control object axis from an axis control program to be taught. On the other hand, history information on an axis movement caused by an operator's manual operation is recorded, and an axis (teaching object axis) to be taught by the operator is estimated from the recorded history information. If the estimated teaching object axis is not included in the control object axis, reflection of the position of the axis on the program by a teaching operation is prohibited.
