Geometries with no orientation support
Use these guidelines to configure the 3-axis robot geometries with no orientation
support in Logix Designer application. These robot geometries include:
• Articulate Independent robot
• Articulate Dependent robot
• Delta Three-dimensional robot
• Delta Two-dimensional robot
• SCARA Delta robot
• SCARA Independent robot
• Cartesian Gantry robot
• Cartesian H-bot robot
The Coordinate Definition parameter in the Coordinate System Properties
dialog box determines whether or not there is orientation support in the
coordinate system.

Use these guidelines when configuring an Articulated Independent robot.
Before turning ON the Transform and/or establishing the reference frame, be sure to do the following for the joints of
the target coordinate system.
• Set and enable the soft travel limits.
• Enable the hard travel limits.
Failure to do this can allow the robot to move outside of the work envelope causing machine damage and/or serious
injury or death to personnel.
