Abstract

A control system 1 includes a first controller, and a second controller. The second controller includes a program storage module that stores two or more coordinate conversion programs, and a control processing module 240 that acquires program designation information for designating one of two or more coordinate conversion programs from the first controller. Additionally, the control processing module may acquire a first operation command in the coordinate system for the first controller from the first controller, and convert the first operation command to an operation target value of two or more joint axes of a multi-axis robot using the coordinate conversion programs according to the program designation information. Driving power according to the operation target value may be output to the joint axes.
