摘要
Research work on plug-and-play open architecture and object-orientedmechatronic system integration is described. The original controllers of two popular industrialrobot manipulators Puma 560 and IBM 7575 are completely retrofitted and integrated with a conveyorsystem to form a robot workcell. This robot workcell can be programmed to run under the Ch languageenvironment. The outline of the Ch language, and the retrofitting strategy of the robot workcellwill be described. A sample application program for simulated assembly operations of this robotworkcell will be presented to demonstrate the underlying principles of open architecture integrationof mechatronic systems under the programming paradigm of the Ch language environment.
