PDL2 Language (Native Programming)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most industrial robot brands have their own proprietary programming language, and Comau is no different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.comau.com\/en\/our-offer\/systems\/consultancy-education\/companies-professionals\/robotics-training-advanced-programming-and-integration\/\"> <\/a>PDL2 language is the traditional method for programming the company&#8217;s industrial robots. This text-based programming language is similar in syntax to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pascal_(programming_language)\">Pascal<\/a> with extra functions to control robotic manipulators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Programs in PDL2 can be created on the robot&#8217;s teach pendant (such as theTP5) or on a computer using&nbsp; Roboshop .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. TPX Teach Pendant with Easy Prog<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Teach pendants have been a cornerstone of industrial robotic programming for decades\u2026 But they have changed little in all that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comau&#8217;s recent addition changes that with their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comau.com\/en\/our-offer\/products-and-solutions\/robotic-control-and-software\/tpx-teach-pendant\/\">TPX, a teach pendant<\/a> with added graphical features. The pendant includes a basic 3D simulator to visualize the robot. It also includes the company&#8217;s Easy Prog feature, which allows for visual programming without requiring knowledge of PDL2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. RoboDK: Simplifying Comau Robot Programming<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to really streamline your robot programming, RoboDK and <a href=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/robodk-comau-partnership\/\">our partnership with Comau<\/a> provides a perfect solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RoboDK provides a flexible way to program, simulate, and deploy Comau robots offline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By integrating RoboDK into your setup, you gain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>CAD\/CAM Integration \u2014<\/strong> You can import tool paths directly from your preferred design software and export them directly to your Comau robot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Offline Simulation \u2014<\/strong> Simulation allows you to validate trajectories, test the robot for reachability, and avoid collisions. Offline programming helps to reduce deployment time without needing to take the physical robot out of production.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Post-Processing and Direct Control for Comau \u2014<\/strong> With our Comau post processors, RoboDK automatically generates PDL2 robot programs with correct syntax and motion logic. You can even use the real-time drivers to test and fine-tune your programs live on the physical Comau robots.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"spotlight-on-3-comau-robots-in-the-robodk-library\">Spotlight on 3 Comau Robots in the RoboDK Library<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/library#filter?brand=comau\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Robot Library<\/a> supports over 1,200 robot models from 80+ brands, including a comprehensive range of Comau robots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are 3 featured robots you can find in the library:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" id=\"1-comau-aura\">1. <strong>MyCo Family <br><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><picture class=\"wp-picture-10920\" style=\"display: contents;\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1024x577-png.webp 1024w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-300x169-png.webp 300w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-768x432-png.webp 768w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1536x865-png.webp 1536w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-png.webp 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1024x577.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1024x577.png 1024w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1536x865.png 1536w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/picture><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">In recent years, <a href=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/library#filter?brand=comau&amp;application=collaborative\">Comau&#8217;s range<\/a> of collaborative robots has grown significantly, with its newest<a href=\"https:\/\/www.comau.com\/en\/our-offer\/products-and-solutions\/robot-team\/myco-cobots\/\"> MyCo range<\/a> being the latest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MyCo Cobots family delivers a versatile set of lightweight, easy-to-install collaborative robots (payload 3\u201315 kg, reach 590\u20131300 mm) designed for fast integration, high precision, flexible redeployment and safe human-robot collaboration in a wide range of industrial applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-comau-n220\"><strong>2.
