3 Robot coordinate systems and operations
3.1 Control groups and coordinate systems
3.1.1 Control group

For the DX100, a group of axes to be controlled at a time is called Control
Group, and the group is classified into three units: ROBOT as a robot itself,
BASE that moves the robot in parallel, and STATION as jigs or tools other
than ROBOT and BASE. BASE and STATION are also called external
axes.

This is any axis other than the robot and base. It

Station
indicates the tilt or rotating axis of the fixture.
This is the axis that moves the entire robot.

Base It corresponds to the servo track.
It controls the path of traveling robot.

3.1.2 Types of coordinate systems

The following coordinate systems can be used to operate the robot:
Joint Coordinates
Each axis of the robot moves independently.
Cartesian Coordinates
The tool tip of the robot moves parallel to any of the X-, Y-, and Z-axes.
Cylindrical Coordinates
The axis moves around the S-axis. The R-axis moves parallel to the L-axis
arm. For vertical motion, the tool tip of the robot moves parallel to the Z-axis.
Tool Coordinates
The effective direction of the tool mounted in the wrist flange of the robot is
defined as the Z-axis. This axis controls the coordinates of the end point of the
tool.
User Coordinates
The XYZ-cartesian coordinates are defined at any point and angle.
The tool tip of the robot moves parallel to the axes of them.

The tool coordinates are defined at the tip of the tool, assuming that the effec-
tive direction of the tool mounted on the robot wrist flange is the Z-axis. There-
fore, the tool coordinates axis direction moves with the wrist.
In the tool coordinates motion, the robot can be moved using the effective tool
direction as a reference regardless of the robot position or orientation. These
motions are best suited when the robot is required to move parallel while
maintaining the tool orientation with the workpieces.

3.6.2 Selecting the tool number

Tool numbers are used to specify a tool when more than one tool is used on
the system.
You may select from the registered tool files when you switch tools on the ro-
bot.
This operation can be performed only when the number of

tool is more than one. To use several tool files with one
SUPPLE-
robot, set the following parameter.
MENT S2C431: Tool number switch specifying parameter
1: Can be switched
0: Cannot be switched
1.) Press the [COORD] key and select the tool coordinates .
Each time [COORD] key is pressed, the coordinate system switches in
the following order: JointCartesian (Cylindrical)ToolUser.

3.7 User coordinates

In the user coordinates, the robot moves parallel to each axis of the coordi-
nates which are set by the user. Up to 24 coordinate types can be registered.
Each coordinate has a user number and is called a user coordinate file.

4.1.2 Teaching procedure

To playback the robot, the instruction to move the robot must be written in a
job. This instruction is called a move instruction. The destination position, the
interpolation method, the play speed, etc. are registered in the move instruc-
tion.
Main move instructions begin with MOV in the INFORM III language used
by the DX100.
<Example>
MOVJ VJ=50.00
MOVL V=1122 PL=1
<Example>
Refer to the following JOB CONTENT window. When executing playback, the
robot moves to the position of Step 1 with the interpolation type and play
speed registered in Step 1s move instruction. Then, the robot moves
between Steps 1 and 2 with the interpolation type and play speed registered in
Step 2s move instruction. Then, the robot moves between Steps 2 and 3 with
the interpolation type and play speed registered in Step 3s move instruction.
After the robot reaches the position of Step 3, the robot then executes the TI-
MER instruction followed by the DOUT instruction, and then continues on to
Step 4.

The teaching procedures are explained in Step 2 (welding pose definition),
Step 3 (welding start), and Step 4 (welding end).
Step 1 and 6, which are both the waiting position, are adjusted to a
safe position where the robot does not collide with the workpiece
and the fixture, etc.
Ensure that the length of the wire is the same during teaching and
playback. The appropriate wire length can be determined by using
NOTE the inching procedure.
When the robot comes in contact with the workpiece during the te-
aching procedure, extend the wire 50-100mm and cut at an ap-
propriate length.
After teaching is completed, confirm the welding path with [FWD]
and [BWD].

4.4.2 Hand instruction

The following instructions open and close the grippers mounted on the robot.
They correspond to single-, double-, and tripleposition solenoids. Up to four
grippers can be controlled for each robot. The following sequences are availa-
ble for solenoid signal control, according to the valve selected.
SP (single-solenoid)
The HAND instruction turns ON/OFF the tool valve (x-1). The inverse signal is
output to the tool valve (x-2). Connect the valve to either one when used in a
single-solenoid.
2P (double-solenoid)
The HAND instruction turns ON/OFF the tool valve (x-1). The inverse signal is
output to the tool valve (x-2).
3P (triple-position solenoid)
Adding ALL to the HAND instruction allows both tool valve (x-1) and tool valve
(x-2) to be turned ON/OFF simultaneously. Functions as a double-solenoid if
ALL is not added to the HAND instruction.

Additional items: Speed and time are set depending on the type of instruction.
When needed, numerical or character data is added to the conditi-
on-setting tags.
5.2.2 Interpolation type and play speed

Interpolation type determines the path along which the robot moves between
playback steps. Play speed is the rate at which the robot moves.
104 E1102000066GB01
DX100 controller
Normally, the position data, interpolation type, and play speed are registered to-
gether for a robot axis step. If the interpolation type or play speed settings are
omitted during teaching, the data used from the previously taught step is auto-
matically used.
Joint interpolation
The joint interpolation is used when the robot does not need to move in a specific
path toward the next step position. When the joint interpolation is used for tea-
ching a robot axis, the move instruction is MOVJ. For safety
purposes, use the joint interpolation to teach the first step.
When [MOTION TYPE] is pressed, the move instruction on the input buffer line
changes.

DX100 controller
When a single circular movement is required, teach the circular interpolation for
three points, P1 to P3, as shown in the following figure. If joint or linear interpola-
tion is taught at P0, the point before starting the circular operation, the robot mo-
ves from P0 to P1 in a straight line.

Continuous circular arcs

When continuous circular movement is required, the two arcs must be separated
from each other by a joint or linear interpolation step. This step must be inserted
between two steps at an identical point. The step at the end point of the prece-
ding circular move must coincide with the beginning point of the following circular
move.

E1102000066GB01 107
DX100 controller
If a circular operation is taught at high speed, the actual arc path has a shorter
radius than that taught.
Spline interpolation
When performing operations such as welding, cutting, and applying primer,
using the spline interpolation makes teaching for workpieces with irregular sha-
pes easier. The path of motion is a parabola passing through three points. When
spline interpolation is used for teaching a robot axis, the move instruction is
MOVS.
Single spline curve
When a single spline curve movement is required, teach the spline interpolation
for three points, P1 to P3, as shown in the figure below. If joint or linear interpola-
tion is taught at point P0, the point before starting the spline interpolation, the ro-
bot moves from P0 to P1 in a straight line.

Play speed
The play speed setting window is identical to that for the linear interpolation. As
with the circular interpolation, the speed taught at P2 is applied from P1 to P2,
and the speed taught at P3 is applied from P2 to P3.
Teach points so that the distances between the three points are roughly
equal. If there is any significant difference, an error will occur on playback
and the robot may operate in an unexpected, dangerous manner. Ensure that
the ratio of distances between steps m:n is within the range of 0.25 to 0.75.

Teaching of "Inserting move instructions" is called Inserting move instruction, to

distinguish it from the method shown in "Registering move instructions." The ba-
sic operations for registration and insertion are the same. The only difference is
pressing [INSERT] in the case of insertion. For registration ("Registering move
instructions"), the instruction is always registered before the END instruction.
Therefore, it is not necessary to press [INSERT]. For insertion ("Inserting move
instructions"), [INSERT] must be pressed.

5.3 Checking Steps
5.3.1 FWD/BWD key operations

Check whether the position of the taught steps is appropriate using [FWD] or
[BWD] on the programming pendant. Each time [FWD] or [BWD] is pressed, the
robot moves by a single step.
[FWD] Moves the robot ahead in step number

sequence. Only the move instruction is
executed when [FWD] is pressed, but when [IN-
TERLOCK] + [FWD] are pressed, all
instructions are executed. When
[SHIFT] + [FWD] are pressed, the move
instructions are executed in succession.
[BWD] Moves the robot backward a step at a time in re-

verse step number sequence. Only the move ins-
truction is executed.
For safety, set manual speed at or below.

NOTE
1 Move the cursor to the step to be
confirmed.
2 Press [FWD] or [BWD].

FWD
If [FWD] / [BWD] are continuously
pressed, the robot reaches the fol-
lowing / previous step and stops.
BWD
122 E1102000066GB01
DX100 controller
when an instruction other than the move instruction is registered.

To proceed to the next job, perform either of the following operations:
When executing instructions other than the move instruction:
Press [INTERLOCK]+ [FWD].
When not executing instructions other than the move instruction:
NOTE Move the cursor to the next move instruction and press [FWD].
When executing move instructions in succession:
Press [SHIFT] + [FWD].
To skip over a step, press [SHIFT] + the cursor key to move the cursor to
desired position and press [FWD] or [BWD].
The robot moves directly to the step where the cursor is currently positioned.
Precautions when using FWD / BWD operations

FWD movements
The robot moves in step number sequence. Only move instructions are
executed when [FWD] is pressed. To execute all instructions, press
[INTERLOCK] + [FWD].
The robot stops after playing a single cycle. It does not move after the
END instruction is reached, even if [FWD] is pressed. However, at the
end of a called job, the robot moves the instruction next to the CALL
instruction.

BWD movements
The robot moves in reverse step number sequence. Only move
instructions are executed.
The robot stops after playing a single cycle. It does not move after the first
step is reached, even if [BWD] is pressed. However, at the beginning of a
called job, the robt moves to the instruction immediately before the CALL
instruction.

Circular movements with FWD/BWD key operations
E1102000066GB01 123
DX100 controller
The robot moves in a straight line to the first step of the circular interpola-
tion.
There must be three circular interpolation steps in a row to move the robot
in an arc.
If [FWD] or [BWD] operation is restarted after being stopped to move the
cursor or to perform search, the robot moves in a straight line to the next
step.
If [FWD] or [BWD] operation is restarted after being stopped to move the
axis as shown in the following, the robot moves in a straight line to P2, the
next circular interpolation. Circular motion is restored from P2 and P3.
Moves with linear interpolation
: Motion path for FWD/BWD key operation

P2 : Motion using axis keys
: Motion path during playback
P1 P3
Spline curve movements with FWD/BWD operations

The robot moves in a straight line to the first step of spline interpolation.
There must be three spline curve motion steps in a row to perform a
spline curve operation.
Depending on the position where the [FWD] / [BWD] operation is perfor-
med, the alarm IRREGULAR DISTANCES BETWEEN TEACHING
POINTS may occur. Note that FWD/BWD inching operations change the
path of the robot and caution is therefore required. Performing these
operations also increases the likelihood that the IRREGULAR DISTAN-
CES BETWEEN TEACHING POINTS will occur.
If the [FWD] or [BWD] operation is restarted after being stopped to move
the cursor or perform a search, the robot moves in a straight line to the
next step.
If the [FWD] or [BWD] operation is restarted after being stopped to move
the axis asshown in the following, the robot moves in a straight line to P2,
the next spline curve motion step. Spline curve motion is restored from P2
onward. However, the path followed between P2 and P3 is somewhat dif-
ferent from the path followed at playback.

If the robot is moved to P3 with [FWD], stopped, and then returned to P2

with [BWD], the path followed between P2 and P3 is different for each of
the following: the first FWD operation, the BWD operation, and the conse-
quent FWD operation.
P2 First FWD
BWD P4

Selecting manual speed

When [FWD] or [BWD] is pressed, the robot moves at the manual speed se-
lected at that time. Selected manual speed can be checked by the manual speed
indication on the programming pendant.
Manual speed is set with [FAST] and [SLOW]. FWD operation can be performed
at a high speed by pressing [HIGH SPEED]. Follow these procedures to select a
manual speed.
Each time [FAST] is pressed, the speed is changed to the next setting in
the following sequence: INCH, SLW, MED, and FST.
FAST INCH SLW MED FST
Each time [SLOW] is pressed, the speed is changed to the next setting in
the followingsequence: FST, MED, SLW, and INCH.
SLOW FST MED SLW INCH
E1102000066GB01 125
DX100 controller
FWD/BWD operation is performed with SLW speed even if INCH is

selected.
NOTE
[HIGH SPEED] is available only for the FWD operation but not for
BWD operation.
Moving to reference point

To check the position of a taught reference point, follow these procedures to
move the robot to the reference point.
1 Move the cursor to the reference
point instruction line to be
checked.
2 Press [REFP] + [FWD]. The robot moves to the reference point of the
cursor line.
Test operations
Playback operations can be simulated in the teach mode with test operations.
This function is convenient for checking continuous paths and operation
instructions.Test operation differs in the following ways from actual playback in
the play mode.
Operation speeds greater than the maximum teaching speed are re-
duced to the maximum teaching speed.
Only machine lock is available among special operations for play-
NOTE back in the play mode.
Work instruction output, such as arc output, is not executed.

5.9.4 Editing condition files

Condition files are prepared in order to set the conditions for the robot to execute
instructions. Multiple condition files are provided for each application. More than
one pattern can be set up in each condition file. The patterns are listed by condi-
tion numbers. This number is specified by the work instruction in a job.
Refer to DX100 Operators Manual of each application for information regarding

the contents and editing methods of the condition file

5.9.5 Editing user variables

User variables are used for jobs to store counters, calculation results or input si-
gnals. Since the same user variable can be used in multiple jobs, save the nu-
merical values as common references for the jobs and the user variables are
maintained even when the power is turned OFF.
User variables have the following applications:
Controlling of the number of workpieces
Controlling of the number of jobs
Sending/receiving of information between jobs
The data formats for user variables are described in the following table:

Robot types
When robot axis position data is described in the XYZ format, a number of solu-
tions are obtained from the robots structure when moving it to the described po-
sition. In order to select one appropriate solution, it is necessary to specify the
robot type. This robot type is called Type. There are up to six types in DX100
system. These types also vary according to the robot models.
Flip/no flip: R-axis position
R-axis angle
T-axis angle
Front/back: Relationship between the S-axis and TCP
Upper arm/Lower arm: Type comprised of the L- and U-axes
S-axis angle
Flip/No Flip
This shows the R-axis position.
When the R-axis is in the position at A as shown in the following diagram, it is
known as Flip; when it is in the B position, it is called No Flip. However, in a
robot in which the R-axis can move more than 180 even in position A, it is ne-
cessary to specify whether the R-axis is from -90 to 90, or from 270 to 360, or
from -360 to -270. The same is true for the B position. This is set at the folo-
wing R-axis angle.

5.9.6 Editing local variables

As well as user variables, local variables can be used for the storage of
counters, calculations, and input signals. The data format is the same as that of
user variables. As shown in the following table, the letter L is affixed to the vari-
able number to indicate a local variable.

Base Axes LBP000 to XYZ type variables can be
LBP used as target position data
for move instructions, and as
Station Axes LEX000 to incremental values for parallel
LEX shift instructions.
Local variables differ from user variables in the following four ways:
Used in One Job Only
With user variables it is possible to define and use one variable in multiple jobs,
but local variables are used only in the job in which they are defined, and cannot
be read from other jobs.
Accordingly, local variables do not affect other jobs, so it is possible to define a
variable number (such as LB001) separately in different jobs, and use it in diffe-
rent ways in each of these jobs.
186 E1102000066GB01
DX100 controller
Able to Use Any Number of Variables

The number is set in the JOB HEADER window. When the number is set, the
area for the value is saved in memory.
User variable B001
B001
Job 1 Job 2 Job 3

Job 1 Job 2 Job 3
LB001 LB001 LB001
User variable Local variables LB001
Not Able to Display the Variable Contents

To display the local variable contents, user variables are needed.
For example, to view the contents of local variable LP000, save it temporarily as
user variable P001. Then execute the instruction SET P001 LP000, and view the
POSITION VARIABLE window for P001.
Enabled Only During the Execution of the Defined Job
The contents of the local variables are enabled only during the execution of the
defined job. The local variable field is assured when the defined job is
called (when the job is executed by a CALL or JUMP instruction, or the job is se-
lected by the menu). Once the job is completed by the execution of a RET, END,
or JUMP instruction, the local variable data that was set is disabled. However, if
a job which uses local variables itself calls a separate job, then is returned by
use of a RET instruction, the data that was present prior to the CALL instruction
remains in effect and can be used.
Precautions for Variables and Units

As was the case with user variables, note that, depending on the value of the
NOTE
unit being used, the value of the variable and the value of the actual speed or
time an occasion might not match. Refer to 5.9.5 Editing user variables.

6.3 Modifying play speed
6.3.1 Modifying with speed override

Speed modifications using the speed override have the following features:
Speed can be modified during playback.

The job can be played back at various speeds until the play speed is
properly adjusted.
Speed can be increased or decreased by a ratio of the current play
speed. The ratio settings range from 10% to 150% in increments of 1%.
Therefore, it is convenient when, for example, all play speed settings are to be
increased by 150% at the same time.

8.2 Parallel Shift Function
8.2.1 Function Overview

Parallel shift refers to the shifting of an object from a fixed position in such a way
that all points within the object move an equal distance. In the model for parallel
shift shown in the following, the shift value can be defined as the distance L
(three dimensional coordinate displacement). The parallel shift function is rele-
vant to the actual operation of the robot because it can be used to reduce the
amount of work involved in teaching by shifting a taught path (or position.)
In the example in the figure below, the taught position A is shifted in increments
of the distance L (this is actually a three-dimensional XYZ displacement that can
be recognized by the robot) in order to enable the operation that was taught at
position A to also be performed at positions B through G.

8.2.2 Setting the Shift Value

Coordinate systems
The shift value for parallel shift is X, Y, and Z increment in each coordinates.
There are four coordinates: base coordinates, robot coordinates, tool coordi-
nates, and user coordinates. In systems with no servo track, the base coordi-
nates and robot coordinates are the same.

2 Robot coordinates 5 User coordinates
3 Tool coordinates

Setting the shift value

When setting the shift value for the position variables, use the current position
(coordinates) of the robot in the window.
Position to be shifted
(Move the robot using the
Teaching position programming pendant.)
Differences are assumed to be shift amounts.
The shift value is the X, Y, and Z difference between the shift position and
teaching position and the difference in angular displacement RX, RY, And RZ
(normally set at 0). If shifting is executed at equal pitch intervals, for example
for palletizing, find the difference between the teaching position and the final shift
position, then divide by the number of pitch intervals (number of divisions) to
calculate the shift value per pitch.
L1
L2

L2=
Number of pitches
Teaching position Final shift position
242 E1102000066GB01
DX100 controller
The posture of the wrist is defined by the angular displacement of the

coordinates of the wrist axes. Consequently, if the shift value is specified with X,
Y, and Z only (RX, RY, RZ=0), the wrist is shifted while maintaining the same
posture as at the teaching point. Since shifting is normally performed without
changing the posture, there is no need to specify an angular displacement for
the wrist. The motion when a parallel shift is performed is shown in the following:
Shift without changing
Teaching posture the wrist posture
(RX,RY,RZ=0)
Shift with wrist posture change
(RX,RY,RZ 0)
Shift value
The shift value is calculated on the position data window for the coordinates in
which the shift is performed. Since this is normally performed in the user coordi-
nates, the position data window for the user coordinates is used.

MSHIFT Instruction
When a parallel shift of the wrist posture is attempted, the robot may not be
shifted to the target posture in the following cases.
Posture displacement (Rx, Ry, Rz) is specified to the shift value set by the
user.
When a displacement between two points is calculated using an INFORM
operating instruction (ADD instruction, SUB instruction, etc.), and a
posture displacement (Rx, Ry, Rz) is specified in the shift value.
In such cases, the MSHIFT instruction can be used to automatically calculate the
optimum shift value for an operation to reach the target shift position and
posture. With an MSHIFT instruction, the shift value between the reference
position and the target position (shift position) when the parallel shift is
performed is determined in the specified coordinate system, and set as the
specified position variable.

8.2.4 Continuation of the Parallel Shift Function
CAUTION
If the shift function is cancelled through a job editing operation after the execution
of a parallel shift instruction, the job must be started again from the beginning.
Because no shift is performed when the operation is restarted, there is a possibility
of interference between the workpiece and fixture.
If any of the following operations are performed after executing a parallel shift in-
struction, the shift function is cancelled.
Job editing operation (changing, deleting, adding)
Job copy, job name change
Registering a new job, deleting a job, or modifying a selected job
Restart after the alarm occurs

8.3 Parallel shift job conversion function
8.3.1 Function overview

If the robot and base positions are moved after a job has been taught, the entire
job has to be modified. The parallel shift conversion function shortens the modifi-
cation time required in cases like this by shifting all steps of the job by the same
value to create a new job.
When the parallel shift conversion is performed, all job steps are shifted by the
same value.
Steps Outside the P-point Maximum Envelope

/OV is displayed for the steps which result in a position outside the P-
point maximum envelope of the robot. When the position is corrected,
/OV display disappears.
Position Variable
NOTE Position variables are not subject to the parallel shift job conversion.
Not Converted Job
The following jobs cannot be converted. If conversion is attempted, no
operation is performed.
Jobs without any group axes
Concurrent jobs (optional)
CAUTION
If a job name after conversion is not specified when executing the parallel shift job
conversion, the position data of the job is shifted and converted, then the data is
overwritten with a new position data after the shift. Be sure to save the job in the ex-
ternal memory device or create the same job by copying before executing
conversion.
252 E1102000066GB01

Coordinate Systems for Conversion

When performing the parallel shift job conversion, it is necessary to specify the
coordinate systems in which the conversion is to be performed. The coordinate
system can be selected from the following:
Base coordinates
Robot coordinates
Tool coordinates
User coordinates (64 types)
Master tool coordinates (R*+R* job)
Pulse coordinates
In the case of an ordinary job for which group axes are registered, shift
conversion is performed in accordance with the selected coordinate system. The
relationship between group combinations and coordinates are shown in the fol-
lowing table.
1 to 4 in the table are followed by their explanations.

8.5 Mirror shift function

With the mirror shift function, a job is converted to the job in which the path is
symmetrical to that of the original job. This conversion can be performed for the
specified coordinate among the X-Y, X-Z, or Y-Z coordinate of the robot
coordinates and the user coordinates. The mirror shift function is classified into
the following three: the pulse mirror-shift function, the robot-coordinates mirror-
shift function, and the user-coordinates mirror-shift function.

before the mirror shift after the mirror shift
8.5.2 Pulse mirror shift function

With the pulse mirror-shift function, the mirror shift is performed by reversing the
sign (+/-) for the axes which are specified with the parameter in advance.

axes system, the group axes specified in the original and converted jobs
must be the same.
Robot Axis: Same model
Base Axis: Same configuration
Station Axis: Same configuration
Position variables
Position variables are not converted by the mirror shift function.
8.5.3 Robot-coordinates mirror shift munction

With the robot-coordinates mirror-shift function, the mirror shift is performed on
the X-Z coordinate of the robot coordinates.

When specifying the group axes for the converted job in a multiple group axes
system, the group axes specified in the original and converted jobs must be the
same.
Position variables
Mirror shift conversion for the base axis is not performed with the
robot-coordinates mirror shift function.
NOTE With the robot-coordinates mirror shift function, mirror shift conversion
for the station axis is performed by reversing the sign for the axes
specified with the parameter S1CxG065 "Mirror Shift Sign Reversing
Axis Specification."
8.5.4 User coordinates mirror shift function

With the user-coordinates mirror-shift function, the mirror shift is performed on
the X-Z, X-Y, or Y-Z coordinate of the specified user coordinates.

8.5.5 Notes on the Mirror Shift Function

For robots, such as a polishing wrist, whose center of S-axis rotation and T-axis
rotation are offset in the X-coordinate direction, the mirror shift cannot
correctly be performed by the pulse mirror-shift function. Be sure to use the
robot-coordinates mirror-shift function or use the user-coordinates mirror-shift
function with the user coordinates specified on the center of the T-axis rotation.
Using the Robot-coordinates Mirror-shift Function When the robot-coordinates
mirror-shift function is performed, the mirror shift is performed on the X-Z coor-
dinate of the robot coordinates. The path of the converted job is as follows:
Robot-coordinates Mirror-shift Conversion
After conversion Before conversion
Using the User-coordinates Mirror-shift Function To use the user-coordinates

mirror-shift function, specify the user coordinates on the center of T-axis rota-
tion in advance.
