Abstract

The invention relates to a method ( 100 ) for a configuration of a modular industrial robot ( 10 ), the method ( 100 ) comprising: obtaining (101) a module specification about a current structure of the robot ( 10 ), the module specification being specific for a number of modules ( 20 ) of the robot ( 10 ); configuring (102) identifiers for the modules ( 20 ) using the module specification, the identifiers being used for addressing the modules ( 20 ) via a industrial communication network ( 30 ); triggering ( 103 ) responses of the modules ( 20 ) depending on the configured identifiers; receiving ( 104 ) each of the responses via an additional communication network ( 40 ); identifying ( 105 ) each of the modules ( 20 ) from which the responses originate, a module identity of a respective identified module ( 20 ) being assigned to the response originating from it; and verifying ( 106 ) the configured identifiers using the module identities.
