1. Centralized control system: use a computer to realize all control functions, simple structure, low cost, but poor real-time, difficult to expand, this structure is often used in early robots. In the PC-based centralized control system, it makes full use of the characteristics of PC resource openness, and can achieve good openness: a variety of control cards, sensor devices, etc. can be integrated into the control system through standard PCI slots or through standard serial ports and parallel ports. The advantages of centralized control system are: low hardware cost, easy to collect and analyze information, easy to realize the optimal control of the system, good integrity and coordination, and more convenient hardware expansion of PC-based system.
2. Master-slave control system: master and slave two-level processors are used to realize all the control functions of the system. The main CPU implements management, coordinate transformation, trajectory generation and system self-diagnosis, etc.: the action control of all joints is realized from the CPU. The master-slave control mode system has good real-time performance and is suitable for high-precision and high-speed control, but its system scalability is poor and maintenance is difficult.
3. Distributed control system: according to the nature and mode of the system, the system control is divided into several modules, each module has different control tasks and control strategies, and the mode can be a master-slave relationship or an equal relationship. This mode has good real-time performance, easy to achieve high-speed, high-precision control, easy to expand, can realize intelligent control, is the popular way at present, the system flexibility is good, the danger of the control system is reduced, the decentralized control of multiple processors is adopted, which is conducive to the parallel execution of system functions, improves the processing efficiency of the system, and shortens the response time.
