Abstract
A control system for a programmable industrial robot has a joystick for manual control of the robot during programming for teaching the robot to follow a working path defined by a number of set points. The control system further comprises a memory for storage of the coordinates of these set points and of other instructions and control members for control of the function of the control system during the programming and for storing or entering instructions in the memory. The control members comprise a group of control members each having a plurality of different functions, the particular function in question being determined by the prevailing condition of the control system. An indicating member is arranged, for each of the control members in the group, to indicate the current function of said control members.
