5.2. A batch Record Coordinate System Conversion Function

 

The job program (500.JOB) may be recorded in the form of an axial angle, base, or robot coordinate system including the user coordinate system (U_Crd). In this case, they need to be converted into the user coordinate system.

 

A function is needed to convert the coordinate systems recorded into the existing programs in a lump, called the ‘A Batch Record Coordinate System Conversion’ function. With the use of the function, they may be easily converted into the user coordinate system.

 

Proceed with the following procedure: 『Service』 → 『6: Program Conversion』→ 『4: Record Coordinate system』’. For example, in the case when the 500.JOB program is not in the form of the user coordinate system, create the system by copying the program that has been converted into the user coordinate system #1 at # 502 as below. If you press the “Run” button (PF7), # 502 (502.JOB) is created as the user coordinate system #1 (U1).

 

 

Each menu means as follows.

 

(1)    Original Program

Put the number of the original program of a job program.

 

(2)    Target Program

Put the number of a program where the program with a converted coordinate system is copied. When the number of the original program is the same as the number of the target program, the existing program is overwritten.

 

(3)    Start Step ~ End Step

Put a range of the step which recorded coordinate system is subject to conversion.

 

(4)    Form of the coordinate System

Select the coordinate system into which the range of the step of the target program is converted. Select the user coordinate system (Un) and the number for the calibration of the OLP coordinate system before the start of running.
