At present, Japan's WAVE Denso Co., Ltd. is working on manufacturing plants for automotive, medical, electrical and electronic products, and is actively developing robot control middleware. It has developed the middleware "ORiN2SDK" that can be used from a PC to a robot, providing an environment for the development of high-end software. The policy is to integrate a variety of FA equipment, including robots, into an inductive control system that can be used in a wider range of tasks. Recently, the reporter conducted an exclusive interview with Yoneyama Munetoshi at the FA Technical Support Center of Denso WAVE Corporation.
A method of controlling a robot with a computer. What is the reason?
We are a supplier of robots for different working customers. One of the most important things we think is that no matter how users use our bots. When you want to explore how to achieve this intention, it is especially important to have an environment that can be controlled with a PC. However, this is not to say that people are taking control of PCs as a mainstream. Our attitude is to provide an environment in which users can freely choose their own methods, regardless of whether they use the original method or a PC.
In the past, especially in the Japan automotive industry, when controlling robots in the production process, the robot generally used the language supplied by each manufacturer to inductively control the production line through PLC (PLC is ladder diagram language). This method is widely used and has high reliability in terms of performance. In order to support the existing method and allow more users to use the robot, we proposed a new method called "controlling the robot with a PC".
What exactly does "ORiN" mean?
The drafting of the specification was initially started as a part of the standardization activities of the Japan Robot Work Association. In the three years since, with the support of the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Agency (NEDO) of Japan, the development of the NEDO specification has now been officially opened. By the end of 2001, the first specification "ORiNVersion 1.0" was completed, and in 2002, the ORiN Association was established, including major FA equipment manufacturers and software companies. Since then, DENSO has continued to promote software development based on this specification, and in 2005, after the completion of the development of ORiNVersion 2.0, the "ORiN2SDK" product was launched.
