A method for operating a multiple axis machine includes controlling drives of the machine with a machine control system and monitoring the machine with a fail-safe control system having first and second redundant channels. Each of the first and second channels receives first input target values and first input actual values from the machine control system, and compares first reference target values (based on the first input target values) with first reference actual values (based on the first input actual values). A fault reaction is triggered if there is a deviation between the compared values that exceeds a specified tolerance. The first input values comprise reference position values of a machine-fixed reference or time derivatives thereof, and the machine control system determines target and/or actual reference position values based on a transformation between reference position values of the machine-fixed reference and axial position values of the machine.

Method and system for operating a multi-axis machine, in particular a robot

A system for controlling an industrial robot includes an industrial robot and a control apparatus. The control apparatus includes a multi-core processor having at least one first processor core and at least one second processor core. An operating system, which is configured to be executed by the multi-core processor, is configured to assign hard real-time tasks to the at least one first processor core and assign other tasks to the at least one second processor core. The hard real-time tasks control at least a component of the industrial robot.

Computer system and control apparatus comprising an industrial robot and method for controlling motion of an industrial robot

An invention-based control system for at least one robot comprises a, especially symmetric, multi-core architecture with a first virtual machine (V) with at least one computing engine (C), which has been provided for controlling at least one process application (P) of this robot.
