Abstract
A robot controller includes a memory unit that stores an address table that contains a plurality of start addresses for additional system software files each used to add a function to system software for the robot controller, and a function addition portion that adds a function to the system software based on an additional function file stored in an external memory device. The function addition portion uses an index value with respect to the address table to acquire one of the start addresses for the additional system software files. Programs contained in the system software and the additional system software files each use a position-independent code based on relative addressing.
