1.5.4Assigning a Name to Coordinate Data

When entering coordinate data for a work coordinate system, a tool coordinate system or the base coordinate system, you have to assign a coordinate name to that data. This name will be used later in the program when telling the robot which coordinate system to use.

Coordinate names generally have a format like that shown in the example below:

TABLE1

TABLE1 is the coordinate name (in this example).

The name may have up to ten characters.

The following characters may be used in the coordinate name. (The first letter must be an alphabetic character.)

 

Alphabetic characters:

A to Z

 

Numerals:

0 to 9

Note:

You may not use an identifier reserved for the SCOL language to name

 

coordinate data. See Appendix B of Robot Language Manual for a list of such

 

identifiers (reserved words).

 

If you try to enter more than ten characters when inputting a coordinate name, an error message ("name over") will be displayed and that entry will be invalidated.

If you try to enter anything other than an alphabetic character for the first character of the name, an error message ("illegal key!") will be displayed and that entry will be invalidated.

If you try to enter anything other than an alphanumeric character when inputting the name, an error message ("illegal key!") will be displayed and that entry will be invalidated.
