(1) Open modular control system architecture: using distributed CPU computer structure, divided into robot controller (RC), motion controller (MC), optoelectronic isolation I/O control board, sensor processing board and programming teaching box, etc. The robot controller (RC) and the programming teach-in box communicate via a serial/CAN bus. The main computer of the robot controller (RC) completes the robot's motion planning, interpolation and position servo, as well as master control logic, digital I/0, sensor processing and other functions, while the programming teaching pendant completes the display of information and the input of buttons.
(2) Modular hierarchical controller software system: The software system is built on Linux, a real-time multi-tasking operating system based on open source, and is designed with a hierarchical and modular structure to realize the openness of the software system. The entire controller software system is divided into three layers: the hardware driver layer, the core layer and the application layer. Each level in the system is composed of thousands of modules with opposing functions, and these functional modules cooperate with each other to realize the functions provided by the level.
(3) Fault diagnosis and safety maintenance technology of the robot: Diagnosing the fault of the robot through various information and carrying out corresponding maintenance is the key technology to ensure the safety of the robot.
(4) Network termination robot controller technology: At present, the application engineering of robots has developed from a single robot workstation to a robot production line, and the networking technology of robot controllers has become more and more important. The controller has the networking function of serial port, fieldbus and Ethernet. It can be used for communication between robot controllers and robot controllers with the host computer, which is convenient for monitoring, diagnosis and management of robot production lines.

What are the six subsystems of Universal Robots – Industrial Robot Systems?
1. Mechanical structure system
From the perspective of mechanical structure, industrial robots are generally divided into tandem robots and parallel robots. The characteristic of a tandem robot is that the movement of one axis will change the coordinate origin of another axis, while the movement of one axis of a parallel robot will not change the coordinate origin of another axis.
