7.1.2 Setting of parameters
Shown below, describes how to set the parameters necessary for using the work and tool coordinate
system features on the linear axis.
• By setting All Axes Parameter No. 55 “Coordinate System Definition 1 Control” to “1h”, the
coordinate system definition unit becomes effective.

• Indicate the physical axis applicable for the coordinate axes (X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis and R-axis) in
the coordinate system in All Axes Parameter No. 56 “Coordinate System Definition 1 Constructing

Stated below are the caution items regarding the setting of All Axes Parameter No. 56. “5C0
Coordinate System Setting Error” will occur when there is an error in setting related to these
caution items described below.
The patterns of constructing axes that are available to indicate should be either of “XY”, “XYZ”,
“XYZR” and “XYR”.
Duplicated indication of one physical axis is not allowed.
It is necessary that the axes indicated as the X, Y and Z-axes are linear driving axes (Each Axis
Parameter No. 1 = “0”), and that the axis indicated as R-axis should be rotary driving axis
(Each Axis Parameter No. 1 = “1”).
The following axes cannot be indicated.
[Synchronized Slave Axes, Infinite Stroke Axes, Shortcut Control Valid Axes]
There may be a case that an error such as “D41 Coordinate System Data Management
Domain ID Error” occurs after conducting parameter writing → reboot when the coordinate
system definition unit gets activated by setting All Axes Parameter No. 55 for the first time.
In such a case, initialize the memory for the “coordinate system definition data” using the PC
software or a teaching pendant and then reboot the controller.
There will be limitation in some part of operation if indicated to the coordinate system definition
unit axis. (Refer to 7.3 for details.)
