Base Coordinate System Definition

Defines the base coordinate system.

Manipulators have the base coordinate system which cannot be modified. This coordinate system is called “robot coordinate system”. In contrast, the base coordinate system which can change its origin coordinate and be the basis of general local coordinate systems is called “base coordinate system”.

By specifying the origin and the rotation angle of the base coordinate system in relation to the robot absolute coordinate system, you can define the local coordinate system.

To reset the Base coordinate system to default, set “0” to all coordinates. This will make the base coordinate system the same as the robot absolute coordinate system.

Robot parameter data is stored to the memory card in the Controller. Therefore, execution of the command writes to the memory card. Frequent writing to the memory card affects its product life. It is recommended to minimize the execution of the command.

Changing the base coordinate system affects all local definitions

When base coordinates are changed, all local coordinate systems must be re-defined.
