A method of controlling a robot manipulator on the basis of a program containing a plurality of movement instructions. In the method, identification information related to a robot installation is obtained, and it is determined, on the basis of the identification information, whether any of the movement instructions relates to a location of the robot manipulator which is non-verified with respect to the robot installation, wherein a location is a pose, a path and/or a modulated path. If this is true, the method applies a policy which restricts execution of the program.

Policy-restricted execution of a robot program with movement instructions

A robot controller is configured to control operation of at least one industrial robot. The robot controller includes: a processor; a memory configured to store a current system configuration of the robot controller, and an editing interface configured to enable modification of the current system configuration. It further includes a stored fingerprint corresponding to the system configuration according to original manufacturer settings; and a fingerprinting interface configured to facilitate computation of a fingerprint based on the current system configuration. The stored and computed fingerprints may be compared to determine whether any modification has occurred.
