To provide a robot control system suitable for production facilities including one or more robots.SOLUTION: A robot control system 1 includes a first control device 100 having a first communication unit 101 and one or more second control devices 250 networked with the first control device. Each of the second control devices includes a second communication unit 251 for exchanging data with the first communication unit of the first control device using communication resources 42 of a network assigned to each, and a command value generation unit 290 for sequentially generating a command value for driving a robot according to a command from the first control device. The robot control system includes a communication resource setting unit 30 for allocating communication resources to each of the second control devices.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】１または複数のロボットを含む生産設備に適したロボット制御システムを提供する。【解決手段】ロボット制御システム１は、第１の通信部１０１を有する第１の制御装置１００と、第１の制御装置とネットワーク接続された、１または複数の第２の制御装置２５０とを含む。第２の制御装置の各々は、各々に割り当てられたネットワークの通信リソース４２を用いて、第１の制御装置の第１の通信部との間でデータを遣り取りする第２の通信部２５１と、第１の制御装置からのコマンドに従って、ロボットを駆動するための指令値を順次生成する指令値生成部２９０とを含む。ロボット制御システムは、第２の制御装置の各々に通信リソースを割り当てる通信リソース設定部３０を含む。【選択図】図１
