5.6. Checking the calibration position 
General 
Check the calibration position before beginning any programming of the robot system. This 
may be done in one of two ways: 
• Using a MoveAbsJ instruction with argument zero on all axes.
• Using the Jogging window on the teach pendant.
Using a MoveAbsJ instruction on the TPU, S4Cplus
This section describes how to create a program, which runs all the robot axes to their zero 
position
Using a MoveAbsJ instruction on the FlexPendant, IRC5
This section describes how to create a program, which runs all the robot axes to their zero 
position.
Action Note
1. Create a new program.
2. Use MoveAbsJ.
3. Create the following program: MoveAbsJ 
[[0,0,0,0,0,0],[9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9,
9E9]]\NoEOffs, v1000, z50, Tool0
4. Run the program in manual mode.
5. Check that the calibration marks for the axes align 
correctly. If they do not, update the revolution 
counters!
The calibration marks are shown in 
section Calibration scales and 
correct axis position on page 238.
How to update the revolution 
counters is detailed in section 
Updating revolution counters on 
page 241
  Action  Note
1. On ABB menu tap Program Editor.
2. Create a new program.
3. Use MoveAbsJ in the Motion&Proc menu.  
4. Create the following program: MoveAbsJ 
[[0,0,0,0,0,0],[9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9,
9E9]]\NoEOffs, v1000, z50, Tool0
