P# (1. Point Definition) Statement

Defines a robot point by assigning it to a point expression.

Syntax
point = pointExpr

pointLabel = pointExpr

Parameters

point

Specify a point as a numeric value or a bracketed expression.

• Pnumber
• P(expr)

pointLabel

Specify the point label.

pointExpr

Specify the point with one of the following point data:
P point number, Point label, Here, Pallet, Point data function (Here function, XY function, JA function, Pulse function, etc..)
For details of pointExpr, refer to P# (2. Point Expression)

Description
Define a robot point by setting it equal to another point or point expression.

Point Definition Example
The following examples are done from the command window:

Assign coordinates to P1:

> P1 = 300,200,-50,100

Specify left arm posture:

> P2 = -400,200,-80,100/L

Add 20 to X coordinate of P2 and define resulting point as P3:

> P3 = P2 +X(20)
> plist 3
P3=-380,200,-80,100/L

Subtract 50 from Y coordinate of P2, substitute -30 for Z coordinate, and define the resulting point P4 as right arm posture:

>P4=P2 -Y(50) :Z(-30) /R
> plist 4
P4 = XY(-450,200,-30,100)/R

Add 90 to U coordinate of Pallet(3, 5), and define resulting point as P6:

> P5 = Here
> P6 = pallet(3,5) +U(90)
