Abstract

Programmable multi-axis controller (PMAC) is widely used in robot control system, most of them use industrial PC (IPC) as the host computer, but this cannot meet the request in some welding robot, which need economical, miniaturization and infinite variety. In this paper, PMAC+embedded system is designed in welding robot control system. The hardware of embedded system is based on SAMSUNG ARM S3C2410 which have abundant peripheral interface . The embedded operating system is Â¿C/OS-II which is real-time kernel and can be transplanted to ARM easily. In order for communication between S3C2410 and PMAC, some API functions are designed, and an example is shown how to use this API.
