Using RT Toolbox3 and Melfa Basic VI on a CR800 Controller - Is there a way to change the Robot's Position coordinates while the program is running? The setup I am currently working on only has discrete I/O attached to a PLC.
Mitsubishi Rv-8CRL with CR800mController - Is it possible to Change position coordinates while program is running?

Hello,
not sure i get this right.
you want to change Base, or physical position of robot?
Also what PLC are you connected to? -
I am sorry for the confusion.
I would like to change a Hand position while the robot's program is running.
Trying to fine tune pick and place positions as the process is running.
I work with Denso Robots and you can change The robot's position coordinates while the program is running. I know it's risky but man it's handy.
The PLC that is giving these robots external inputs is a Rockwell 5069-L306ER.
Like I said before, no comms just discrete IO between the Robot and the PLC.
Thank you

I believe I have the answer.
My Mitsubishi Rep finally got back to me and said "No".
We cannot make position changes on the fly.
