*1 VALIDC indicates wheter the position register has valid
Cartesian coordinates. VALIDC is set to 0 in one of the
following case. In other cases, it is set to 1.
– There is data tha is not taught (“******” is indicated on the
teach pendant).
– The position register is in the joint format, and cannot be
converted to the Caretesian coordinate format.
Writing a value into VALIDC changes the format of the position
register to the Cartesian coorinate format. You may write any
value into VALIDC.
*2 VALIDJ indicates wheter the position register has valid values in
joint format. VALIDJ is set to 0 in one of the following cases. In
other cases, it is set to 1.
– There is data tha is not taught (“******” is indicated on the
teach pendant).
– The position register is in the Cartesian coordinate format, and
cannot be converted to the joint format.
Writing a value into VALIDJ changes the format of the position
register to the joint format. You may write any value into
VALIDJ.
*3 UF indicates the number of the user coordinate system used.
If UF is o, the world coordinate system is used.
If UF is 15, the user coordinate system currently selected is used.
Normally, UF of the position register is set to 15 (F is
indicated on the teach pendant).
You cannot change this value from the teach pendant. Note that
once you have changed this value with CIMPLICITY, you
cannot restore the original value without using CIMPLICITY.
*4 UT indicates the number of the tool coordinate system used.
If UT is 0, the mechanical interface coordinate system is used.
If UT is 15, the tool coorinate system currently selected is used.
Normally, UT of the position register is set to 15 (F is indicated
on the teach pendant).
You cannot change this value from the teach pendant. Note that
once you have changed this value with CIMPLICITY, you
cannot restore the original value without using CIMPLICITY.
Position registers have two data formats: the Cartesian coordiante
format and joint format. You can check position register contents on
the position register screen on the teach pendant to find which data
format is currently used for a certain position register. If X, Y, Z, W,
P, and R are indicated, the Cartesian coordinate format is currently
used; if J1 trough J6 are indicated, the joint format is used.
