Position variable?.

Position variables are just a globally stored position. You can access them and move to them in any job. They can be stored as pulse, robot, base or user.

A position variable contains all the data for a position. To use a position variable in a job you must ensure that the position variable contains data. Then in the job you goto the Infom menu and select Motion key. And select motion type and the position variable address to use. The position variable can also be manipulated while a job is executing. Example... if you have a position variable 1 with Z value 100mm. In the job you can use the instruction SETE and set the Z value alue to 200mm. Maybe you want to stack something so you place the 1st part down then you use SETE and change Z to 200mm before the next part is placed down

Position Variables can be used to:

Move to an absolute position.
Move to an offset from the current position (IMOV instruction).

Shifting, both temporary and permanent. (SFTON instruction, temporary. Parallel Shift Job, Permanent)

Hi, I´m trying to find a list of position variables but I can´t find it.

for example:

P20 (1) = X for that position

P20 (2) = Y for that position

P20 (3) = Z for that position

P20 (4) = rX for that position

P20 (5) = rY for that position

P20 (6) = rZ for that position

What about after that? how much and what data is there?

for example:

P20 (7) = ?

P20 (8) = ?

P20 (9) = ?

There isn’t anything else on a 6-axis robot. The only other is if you have a 7-axis robot. P20 (7) would be either the Theta (E) in pulse or XYZ (Re).
