Manipulating industrial robots - Graphical user interfaces for programming and operation of robots (GUI-R) (ISO 15187:2000)
This International Standard specifies the structure and the elements of a graphical user interface for programming and operation of robots (GUI-R). Figure 3 shows the relation to the robot system, to the programming and simulation system, and to the program editor.
It is important that a graphic programming system can be used both off-line, working in a separate programming station, and on-line, working in direct connection with a robot system. The same kind of graphical user interface for off-line systems might then be used in combination with any existing robot and any existing textual language. The produced code might be stored on disk or other media for downloading to a robot system, or downloading directly, e.g. via a serial link. An on-line system might be connected to a robot system via a high speed serial link or might be fully integrated into the robot control system.
The content of this International Standard is focused on GUI-R for programming. The robot program itself, and its representation are thus beyond the scope of this Internationl Standard.
GUI-R for operation will be covered in a future edition of this International Standard.
Industrieroboter für die Handhabung - Grafische Anwenderschnittstelle für die Programmierung und den Betrieb von Robotern (GUI-R) (ISO 15187:2000)
Die vorliegende Internationale Norm legt die Struktur und die Elemente einer grafischen Anwenderschnittstelle für die Programmierung und den Betrieb von Robotern (GUI-R) fest. Bild 3 zeigt die Beziehung zum Robotersystem, zum Programmier- und Simulationssystem sowie zum Programmeditor.
Es ist wichtig, dass ein grafisches Programmiersystem sowohl offline (prozessunabhängig), in einem getrennten Programmierarbeitsplatz arbeitend, als auch online (prozessabhängig), in direkter Verbindung mit einem Robotersystem arbeitend, verwendet werden kann. Es kann dann dieselbe Art von grafischer Anwenderschnittstelle für Offline Systeme in Verbindung mit jedem vorhandenen Roboter und jeder vorhandenen textorientierten Sprache verwendet werden. Der erzeugte Kode kann auf einer Diskette oder einem anderen Medium für das Laden in ein Robotersystem gespeichert oder direkt, z. B. über einen seriellen Anschluss, geladen werden. Ein Online-System kann über einen hochgeschwindigkeitsseriellen Anschluss an ein Robotersystem angeschlossen oder voll in das Steuerungssystem des Roboters integriert werden.
Der Inhalt der vorliegenden Internationalen Norm ist auf die GUI-R für die Programmierung ausgerichtet. Das Roboterprogramm selbst und seine Darstellung liegen daher außerhalb des Anwendungsbereiches der vorliegenden Internationalen Norm.
GUI-R für den Betrieb wird in einer künftigen Ausgabe der vorliegenden Internationalen Norm enthalten sein.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 15187 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 184, Industrial automation
systems and integration, Subcommittee SC 2, Robots for manufacturing environment.

Introduction
ISO 15187 is part of a series of International Standards dealing with manipulating industrial robots. Other
International Standards cover such topics as safety, general characteristics, co-ordinate systems, performance
criteria and related test methods, terminology, and mechanical interfaces. It is noted that these standards are
interrelated and are also related to other International Standards.
Annex A provides examples of possible platform with GUI for open architecture.
The purpose of this International Standard is to standardize the use of graphical user interfaces for robot
programming and operation (called GUI-R). Important customer requirements for programming and operation of
robots are
� simplification and
� standardized robot operation.
Programming and operation of industrial robots require a set of tools, e.g. editor, compiler, debugger, which help
the user to specify a number of more or less complex functions to be performed by the robot control. There are
many different functions for the robot control units in use world wide, and the GUI-R standard should simplify the
programming with the help of graphics. In a first step GUI-R will give a style guide for the definition and use of
graphical elements for the programming procedure of robots.
Therefore the GUI-R standard is nothing but the interface for the user to pick up elements for programming and
operation by an easy manner. The function represented by these elements is defined in general, e.g. as a straight
line robot move. The explicit, complete and detailed syntax and semantic meaning is not the purpose of GUI-R, e.g.
all move parameters, the exact meaning of "straight line" by the linear interpolation including the behaviour of
smoothing, and others. This is defined by the underlying robot system control and programming features: GUI-R is
not a robot language expressed by graphical elements and icons. The user is obliged to read the robot system
manuals and to learn about the special robot programming and control functions. GUI-R is a help to find the
programming elements and to work with a graphic layout in the same manner for different robot systems. The
program structure might be displayed on the screen by a program flow chart.
This International Standard only specifies the detailed specifications of GUI-R level and the concept of
hierarchization, see Figure 1. The contents of the low-level hierarchy will not be specified intentionally, and
consideration will be taken so that implementation will be easier.
Of course, a standard should be complete and precisely defined to cover the subject to be standardized. But there
is a variety of robot programming languages and controls with different concepts, functions, syntax, and semantics.
Because it is not possible to include all (partly contradictory) concepts and functions of existing (and future) robot
languages for a representation by graphical elements, GUI-R covers only the main elements and functions for
programming and operation. It doesn’t specify all elements of one function level, e.g. icons for all possible
statements of a robot language, and it doesn’t specify all parameters or elements of a function or statement, e.g.
the parameters of a move statement. This means GUI-R is concentrated on the main functions (defined
horizontally) and on the main syntactical elements or parameters (defined vertically), see Figure 2.

Figure 2 — Horizontal and vertical extensions
The GUI-R standard cannot cover all elements of a specific robot programming language, and it should be possible
to use GUI-R also in the future for new functions. Therefore the definition of GUI-R allows the addition of new
elements and rules as well as user or robot system vendor specific elements. The user or vendor can specify new
elements on high functional level (horizontal extension), like for new statements or new functions, or new
parameters can be added (vertical extension), e.g. for move control. Especially, it is not intended that GUI-R
represents a complete functional or language definition.
Whenever it is possible, GUI-R contains reference (and perhaps a short explanation in addition, it depends on the
background) to a standard or de-facto standard used for its definition base. The objective of the development of
GUI-R is the use on robotic applications and not for general use in other fields like graphics. A decision was made
to develop rules which are realistic and can find practical applications in industrial production. This resulted in
sometimes developing vigorous GUI-R standard specifications and in other occasions provide references to other
standards. The first case was used only if it was strongly needed.
GUI-R specifies how to position icons, how to structure the different areas on the screen for user programming and
operation input and gives rules for the design of icons. But this could not be a "precise" definition: For example, it is
not specified that the area for language statement icons is from screen co-ordinates (22,34) to (345,57) or that only
blue is used for icon background. However, the scope of this International Standard has been defined in a
pragmatic manner, e.g. the rules for a movement icon. There is a recommendation for GUI-R elements or screen
layout, to help the user apply the standard, but not to restrict him too much. GUI-R was designed in such a manner
that it is possible to convert the graphical elements into a robot language representation and vice versa.

Manipulating industrial robots — Graphical user interfaces
for programming and operation of robots (GUI-R)
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the structure and the elements of a graphical user interface for programming
and operation of robots (GUI-R). Figure 3 shows the relation to the robot system, to the programming and
simulation system, and to the program editor.
It is important that a graphic programming system can be used both off-line, working in a separate programming
station, and on-line, working in direct connection with a robot system. The same kind of graphical user interface for
off-line systems might then be used in combination with any existing robot and any existing textual language. The
produced code might be stored on disk or other media for downloading to a robot system, or downloaded directly,
e.g. via a serial link. An on-line system might be connected to a robot system via a high speed serial link or might
be fully integrated into the robot control system.
The content of this International Standard is focussed on GUI-R for programming. The robot program itself, and its
representation are thus beyond the scope of this International Standard.
GUI-R for operation will be covered in a future edition of this International Standard.
