(1) How to use the position variables
In teaching operation, P1, P2, P3 and so on that are automatically created whenever you register points are local
mechanical position variables. As they are variables, it is possible to change values or to reuse them.
For example, if you have taught three points P1, P2 and P3, and you would like to go back to the P1 position as the next
movement. Instead of actually moving the robot to the P1 position again, you can either;
• Add taught points (edit).
MOVEL P1, 7.5 m/min
MOVEL P2, 7.5 m/min
MOVEL P3, 7.5 m/min
←Press the ENTER key once again.
· Click OK in the prompt box to continue the multi-point registration.
· Click Browse in the Add dialog box to select P1 from the list.
MOVEL P1, 7.5 m/min
MOVEL P2, 7.5 m/min
MOVEL P3, 7.5 m/min
MOVEL P1, 7.5 m/min
←Then P1 is added below P3.
or
• Copy the P1.
MOVEL P1, 7.5 m/min
MOVEL P2, 7.5 m/min
MOVEL P3, 7.5 m/min
←Copy the whole P1 commands.
· Move the cursor to the P3 line, and then do paste.
MOVEL P1, 7.5 m/min
MOVEL P2, 7.5 m/min
MOVEL P3, 7.5 m/min
MOVEL P4, 7.5 m/min
←Then a new variable name “P4” is assigned.
*
As a new variable name is assigned to the pasted point, editing the value of P1 after
pasted does not change the value of the new variable.
Use “
Add
” (the same variable name) to the points you would like to keep them having the same contents at all
times and edit them all at once, and use “
Copy
”
(assign different variable name) to the points you would like to
copy the content but keep them independent.
