RoboLogix

[2] RoboLogix provides a platform to teach, test, run, and debug programs that have been written using a five-axis industrial robot in a range of applications and functions.

It is primarily intended as an educational resource, and is used by high schools, colleges, and universities[3] to provide laboratory simulation of industrial robots.

Some institutions, such as George Brown College use RoboLogix as part of an online robotics distance education program.

This type of simulation software provides an increased level of reliability in the planning process and program development as well as reducing the overall completion/commissioning time.

[5] There are several command instructions on the control panel such as Reset, Home, Setup and Zero which are used to automatically set the robot to a specific position for calibration or realignment.

These commands are used to instruct the robot to perform tasks such as moving to a specific location, picking up an object, executing a subroutine, waiting, etc.

All instruction set information is stored in registers, which are data locations capable of holding variable numeric values.

Position registers contain both the linear and angular data point coordinates and include axis (joint) information for A1, A2, A3, etc.
