Abstract
To correct delayed transmission of instructions associated with increased communication load on a communications line, so as to safely and reliably control a working robot, a system for controlling an operation unit performing a plurality of operations is configured to include a working robot and a controlling personal computer transmitting in operation a command via a wireless LAN and a wired LAN to control an operation. The controlling personal computer detects the load of a communication between the working robot and the controlling personal computer and limits a predetermined one of the plurality of operations depending on the detection result.
