Industrial robot motion control with real-time Java and EtherCAT
Författare
Summary, in English
We have implemented a motion control system, and an application, for an ABB IRB 340 industrial robot entirely in real-time Java, using standard computer hardware, off-the-shelf EtherCAT servo drives, and the Sun Java Real-Time System 2.0 on Solaris 10. This shows the feasibility of real-time Java for practical robot applications. It also shows one advantage of the EtherCAT field bus technology, that no special master hardware is required. To our knowledge, this is the first robot control system implemented entirely in Java and executed on a certified virtual machine.
