Robot Programming Basics
Most programs are movement, logic and I/O in a loop.
The building blocks
| Block | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Position instructions | Move to a taught point |
| Motion type | Joint, linear or circular |
| Logic | Conditions, counters and branches |
| Inputs and outputs | Talking to grippers, machines and signals |
| Subroutines | Reusable sequences for variants |
Good habits
- Comment programs so the next person can follow them.
- Group positions by product and keep a naming rule.
- Test changes at reduced speed before production.
Programming languages and syntax are brand-specific. Use the manufacturer documentation for your controller.
