A method according to the present invention for changing of an operating mode of at least one industrial control (-) of a plurality of networked industrial controls (--), in particular of a robot control, comprises the steps of:

Networked industrial control and method for changing of an operating mode of such an industrial control

Accompanied by the optimization of the possibilities of use of a robot, particularly with regards to low cycle times and high loads, damage to the robot through exceeding the energy absorbable by the structure is still prevented when robot parts strike against the mechanical structure as a result of faults or errors, according to the invention in a method for controlling the movement of a robot, the kinetic energy of moving robot members (G g , . . . , g ) about an axis (A ) is limited to the energy absorbable in damage-free manner by a mechanical buffer associated with the corresponding axis (A ).

Method for controlling the movement of a robot

An apparatus system is provided with at least one robot and with a control unit accommodated in a control cabinet. To improve the integration of robot and technology control units and to utilize synergistic effects, at least one additional, independent electronic system different from the control unit for the robot is provided accommodated in the control cabinet.

Apparatus system and control box for same

In order to simply introduction of cables extending out of the base of a robot the arms thereof, the invention provides for a robot having a base and a carrousel plate located thereon having an opening for passage of the cables, wherein the opening is configured as a slot (,) extending in an inward direction from the peripheral edge of the carrousel plate (,).
