Automatic control has become an important part of the modern industrial processes. Progress both in basic research as applied to automatic control, provide a way to obtain the optimum performance of the dynamical systems, improve the quality and reduce the costs. Robotics, as a part of automatics, represents nowadays an important research area, and it has an essential role in the productive modernization. The inclusion of industrial manipulators in the manufacturing process allows obtaining better and cheaper products. Therefore, the development of an open software structure for the industrial robots controlling is a very important objective to be achieved.The main objectives of this chapter are the development and the implementation of an open software structure with reusable components, which works as a link between the hardware of an industrial robot manipulator and its control algorithm in order to implement these control algorithms with minimum efforts. Having this kind of software structure is very useful for researching and teaching in robotics as well as for industrial applications. The software structure runs under QNX Real Time operating system and can be used for a large number of industrial robots.
