Standards for Robot Programming and Data
Programming practice is becoming an auditable subject.
What is addressed
| Area | Consideration |
|---|---|
| Program structure | Readability, modularity and comments |
| Version control | Traceability of changes |
| Data logging | What is recorded and retained |
| Access control | Who may change programs or parameters |
| Validation | Testing before production release |
Practical measures
- Use a naming and revision convention from day one.
- Restrict parameter changes to authorised people.
- Keep a test record when a program is released.
Programming and data requirements depend on the sector and the customer. Confirm contractual obligations.
