    Abstract: A method to detect a fault in a CPU of an industrial controller during on-line safety control of real world objects. An application program is complied into assembler instructions. A test application is complied into assembler instructions where the assembler instructions is a subset of the total number of assembler instructions available for the CPU. The application program is downloaded and the test application to a central unit of an industrial controller. The test application is repeatedly executed in the industrial controller. A result from the test application is repeatedly compared with the pre-defined result in the test module. A fault detected in the CPU as the result from the test application does not equal the pre-defined result stored in the test module and the unexpected result of the test application is due to the execution of an assembler instruction of the test application. The execution of the application program is aborted wherein the application program is prohibited from executing the assembler instruction which otherwise would cause the application program to fail.

    Abstract translation: 一种用于在现实世界对象的在线安全控制中检测工业控制器的CPU故障的方法。 应用程序符合汇编指令。 汇编器指令中遵循测试应用程序,其中汇编器指令是可用于CPU的汇编器指令总数的子集。 将应用程序下载并将测试应用程序下载到工业控制器的中央单元。 测试应用程序在工业控制器中重复执行。 测试应用程序的结果与测试模块中的预定义结果重复进行比较。 由于测试应用程序的结果,在CPU中检测到的故障不等于存储在测试模块中的预定义结果,并且测试应用程序的意外结果是由于执行测试应用程序的汇编器指令而导致的。 应用程序的执行被中止,其中应用程序被禁止执行否则会导致应用程序失败的汇编器指令。

    Abstract: A live handle switch in the form of a hand operated safety switch for an industrial robot or a machine is described. The live handle comprises a safety certified switch for operating a robot or other machine safely while under manual control. The live handle switch may be comprised in a portable robot controller of the TPU Teach Pendant Unit type. Such a TPU may comprise control means for moving a robot in three or more degrees of freedom. In other aspects of the invention a system comprising a robot and a control unit and the live handle switch are described.

    Abstract: A method, controller and control system for controlling a robot that is used in concert with at least one other robot to perform an operation on one or more work objects. Each robot controller checks whether a common reference value is not acceptable, and if so, provides a signal for the robot to wait before proceeding to the next task. Each robot controller also checks whether the target object is in the correct position or not; and also checks whether or not another robot has stopped. If either another robot has stopped and/or if the work object is not in the right position, the robot waits.
