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.

Robot control system and control method

A robot control system includes a first control device including a first communication unit and one or more second control devices connected to the first control device through a network. Each of the second control devices includes a second communication unit that exchanges data with the first communication unit of the first control device using a communication resource of a network allocated thereto, and a command value generation unit that sequentially generates a command value for driving the robot, in accordance with a command from the first control device. The robot control system includes a communication resource setting unit that allocates the communication resource to each second control device.
