Kawasaki Z-Switches

  • Z switches are not user settings and Kawasaki do not make this information available to the public.


    These settings should not be changed/modified unless advised from Kawasaki directly as they can cause severe disruption to robot operations if applied incorrectly.

  • You can find some information about some Z-Switch settings from the AS software history changelog.

    For example:


    2) JT6 rotates in reverse during linear interpolation, and (E1128)JT6 axis

    mismatch error occurs.

    [Maintenance Switch] ZCHKROT6_REVERSAL

    Switch to display the processing time of singularity

    avoidance move.

    It is not saved and turned off when the control power supply

    is turned off and on.

    ON : Modify Enable

    OFF: Modify Disable

    default : OFF (shipment setting : ON)


    Personally, i did not change any Z-switch.
