Abstract: A method for operating an automation arrangement, having a manipulator and an input/output module for automated production and also a computer apparatus uses the computer apparatus to execute a PLC computer program for providing a programmable logic controller for the input/output module, which PLC computer program is communitively connected to the input/output module via a module bus for the purpose of actuating said input/output module. The method is characterized in that the computer apparatus is used to execute a cell control computer program for actuating the PLC computer program via a PLC interface of the PLC computer program, in that the cell control computer program provides an NC controller for the manipulator and in that the cell-control computer program is communicatively connected to the manipulator via a network bus for the purpose of actuating said manipulator.

Abstract: Various embodiments relate to compensating for a deviation in an operating point of a manipulator during the processing of a workpiece. A command sequence is processed for controlling the manipulator, and a piece of setpoint position information is generated. The operating point is set based on the setpoint position information. The setpoint position information is processed using a compensation parameter set for ascertaining a compensation value. The setpoint position information is adjusted according to the compensation value for compensating for a deviation between an actual position of the operating point and the setpoint position. The actual position is measured during the processing of the workpiece. A correction value is ascertained, based on a comparison between the measured actual position and the setpoint position. The compensation parameter set is adjusted during the processing of the workpiece for reducing the deviation based on the correction value.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for compensating for a deviation in an operating point (1) of a manipulator (2) during the processing of a workpiece (3) via an end effector (4) on the manipulator (2); wherein a command sequence is processed for controlling the manipulator (2) for the purpose of processing the workpiece (3), and a piece of setpoint position information (5) corresponding to a setpoint position (6) is generated based on the command sequence, the operating point (1) of the manipulator (2) being set based on said piece of setpoint position information (5); wherein the piece of setpoint position information (5) is processed using a compensation parameter set (7) which is related to the piece of setpoint position information (5), for ascertaining a compensation value (8), and the piece of setpoint position information (5) is adjusted according to the compensation value (8) for compensating for a deviation (9) between an actual position (10) of the operating point (1) and the setpoint position (6).
