10.1. Robot Language Guide

 

There are roughly two industrial robot programming languages: command code and robot language.

Between these methods, Hi5 controller creates the program using the robot language method.

 

With the command code method, you can create work program that can control the robot operation in detail using hundreds of command codes. But, processing formula or string, saving and processing large scale data is difficult or impossible to process using the command code. Also because the command is composed of number codes, it is difficult for the novice user to analyze the program.

 

Unlike command code, robot language provides English statement set, various arithmetic and string variables, functions and numerical forms.

 

As industrial robot makers usually offer their own robot language, Hyundai Hi5 offers ‘HR-BASIC,’ Hyundai’s own robot language. HR-BASIC is similar to BASIC, a programming language used for PC.
