    Abstract: A multi-type industrial robot control system may include: an automation controller; and a programmable logic controller (PLC)-robot bridge. The controller stores a general-purpose robot control function block generated using a unified design standard, calls a corresponding robot control function block for a robot and using robot state data and puts out corresponding first command data to the PLC-robot bridge. The PLC-robot bridge virtualizes robot interfaces of corresponding offline programming functions of different types of robot as a unified virtual interface, calls a corresponding offline programming function via the unified virtual interface according to the first command data, and generates second command data for output to a corresponding robot controller. The corresponding robot controller controls a corresponding robot. At the same time, robot state data from a corresponding type of robot is received via the unified virtual interface and the robot state data is fed back to the automation controller.
