Control Groups and Coordinate Systems
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
manipulator itself, “BASE” that moves the manipulator in parallel, and
“STATION” as jigs or tools other than “ROBOT” and “BASE”. BASE and
STATION are also called external axes.
Robot
This is the axis for the
manipulator itself.
Station
Base
This is the axis that moves the entire manipulator.
It corresponds to the servo track.
It controls the path of traveling manipulators.

Manipulator Coordinate Systems and Operations
Control Groups and Coordinate Systems
Types of Coordinate Systems
The following coordinate systems can be used to operate the manipulator:
• Joint Coordinates
Each axis of the manipulator moves independently.
• Cartesian Coordinates
The tool tip of the manipulator moves parallel to any of the X-, Y-,
and Z-axes.
• Cylindrical Coordinates
The θ axis moves around the S-axis. The R-axis moves parallel to
the L-axis arm. For vertical motion, the tool tip of the manipulator
moves parallel to the Z-axis.
• Tool Coordinates
The effective direction of the tool mounted in the wrist flange of the
manipulator 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 manipulator moves parallel to the axes of them.

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

Control Point Change
The tool tip position (TCP) is the target point of axis operations and is set
as the distance from the flange face. The control point change operation
is an axis operation that involves selecting a tool from the list of registered
tools (Refer to chapter 2.3.4.1 "Selecting Tool" at page 2-11), and then
manipulating the axes while changing the TCP. This can be performed
with all coordinates except the joint coordinates. The axis operation is the
same as that of the motion about TCP.
<Example 1>TCP Change Operation with Multiple Tools
(1) Set the TCPs for Tool 1 and Tool 2 as P1 and P2, respectively.
(2) When Tool 1 is selected to perform an axis operation, P1 (Tool 1’s
TCP) is the target point of the operation. Tool 2 follows Tool 1 and
is not controlled by the axis operation.
(3) On the other hand, When Tool 2 is selected to perform an axis
operation, P2 (Tool 2’s TCP) is the target point of the axis operation. In this case, Tool 1 just follows Tool 2.

Interpolation Type and Play Speed
Interpolation type determines the path along which the manipulator moves
between playback steps. Play speed is the rate at which the manipulator
moves.
Normally, the position data, interpolation type, and play speed are
registered together 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 automatically used.
3.2.2.1
Joint Interpolation
The joint interpolation is used when the manipulator does not need to
move in a specific path toward the next step position. When the joint
interpolation is used for teaching 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.


Single Circular Arc
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 interpolation is taught at P0, the point before starting the
circular operation, the manipulator moves from P0 to P1 in a straight line.

• If a circular operation is taught at high speed, the actual arc path has
a shorter radius than that taught.
3.2.2.4
Spline Interpolation
When performing operations such as welding, cutting, and applying
primer, using the spline interpolation makes teaching for workpieces with
irregular shapes 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 interpolation is taught at point P0, the point before starting
the spline interpolation, the manipulator moves from P0 to P1 in a straight
line.

For example, to perform the movement steps shown below, set as follows:
P1
P2 P4
P5
P3
P6
Steps P2, P4, and P5 are simple passing points, and do not require
accurate positioning. Adding PL=1 to 8 to the move instructions of these
steps moves the manipulator around the inner corners, thereby reducing
the cycle time.
If complete positioning is necessary as P3 or P6, add PL=0.
<EXAMPLE>

Overlapping the First and Last Steps
Why is overlapping the first and last step necessary?
Assume that the job shown below is to be repeated. The
manipulator moves from the last step (Step 6) to the first
step (Step 1). If Step 6 and Step 1 are the same position, the
manipulator moves directly Step 5 to Step 1, thereby improving work efficiency.


FWD Movements
• The manipulator moves in step number sequence. Only move
instructions are executed when [FWD] is pressed. To execute all
instructions, press [INTERLOCK] + [FWD].
• The manipulator 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 manipulator moves the instruction
next to the CALL instruction.

Circular Movements with FWD/BWD Key Operations
• The manipulator moves in a straight line to the first step of the circular interpolation.
• There must be three circular interpolation steps in a row to move the
manipulator in an arc.
• If [FWD] or [BWD] operation is restarted after being stopped to move
the cursor or to perform search, the manipulator 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 below, the manipulator moves in a straight line to
P2, the next circular interpolation. Circular motion is restored from
P2 to P3.

Checking Steps
Spline Curve Movements with FWD/BWD Operations
• The manipulator 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
performed, the alarm “IRREGULAR DISTANCES BETWEEN
TEACHING POINTS” may occur.
• Note that FWD/BWD inching operations change the path of the
manipulator and caution is therefore required. Performing
these operations also increases the likelihood that the “IRREGULAR
DISTANCES 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 manipulator moves in a
straight line to the next step.
• If the [FWD] or [BWD] operation is restarted after being stopped to
move the axis as shown below, the manipulator 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 different from the path followed at playback.
Linear motion

operation, and the consequent FWD operation.

Selecting Manual Speed
When [FWD] or [BWD] is pressed, the manipulator moves at the
manual speed selected 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 switches in the order of
“INCH””SLOW””MED””FAST”.

operation instructions.
Test operation differs in the following ways from actual playback in the
play mode.
• Operation speeds greater than the maximum teaching
NOTE
speed are reduced to the maximum teaching speed.
• Work instruction output, such as arc output, is not executed.
Note that the motion path for the playback operation is replayed during the

User Variables
User variables are used for jobs to store counters, calculation results or
input signals. Since the same user variable can be used in multiple jobs,
save the numerical 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

3.9.4.10 Manipulator Types
When the position data of the job data are described using the XYZ
format, several postures may be taken according to the manipulator’s
structure when moving it to the described position.
Although these postures have the same coordinates for TCP, they vary in
pulse for each axis.
Thus, the manipulator’s posture cannot be uniquely defined only by the
coordinate value, and it is necessary to specify the data other than the
coordinate value to define the manipulator’s posture.
This is called “Type”.
Type varies according to the manipulator model.
For the manipulator with seven axes, X, Y, Z, Rx, Ry, Rz, Re
and Type are used.
Re is an element to indicate the posture of the manipulator
with seven axes and does not change by the specified coordinates.
The definition of Re is shown below.

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 different ways in each of these jobs.

The number is set in the JOB HEADER window. When the number
is set, the area for the value is saved in memory.

3.9
Teaching
Other Job-editing Functions
• 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 selected 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.
NOTE
Precautions for Variables and Units
As was the case with user variables, note that, depending
on the value of the unit being used, the value of the variable
and the value of the actual speed or time an occasion might
not match. Refer to chapter 3.9.4 "User Variables" at
page 3-77.

Parallel Shift Function
Parallel Shift Function
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 relevant to the actual operation of the
manipulator because it can be used to reduce the amount of work
involved in teaching by shifting a taught path (or position).
L
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.

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 the wrist posture
(RX,RY,RZ=0)
Teaching posture
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 coordinates, the position data window for the user
coordinates is used.

MSHIFT Instruction
When a parallel shift of the wrist posture is attempted, the manipulator
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.

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

• 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

Parallel Shift Job Conversion Function
Function Overview
If the manipulator 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 modification 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 manipulator.
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 external memory
device or create the same job by copying before executing
conversion.

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 following table.

Function Overview
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

Notes on the Mirror Shift Function
For manipulators, 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.
(1) 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 coordinate of the robot coordinates. The path of the converted job is as follows:

6.15.5 Precautions
6.15.5.1 When Analog Output Corresponding to Speed is Interrupted
If the manipulator is stopped for some reason and the editing operation is
performed, the analog output corresponding to speed is interrupted. This
interruption is performed in all output terminals, and the analog voltage
fixed immediately before the interruption is output to each output terminal.
The analog output corresponding to speed is not interrupted in any other
cases.
6.15.5.2 When More than One Manipulator is Used
The attribute of the job where the instruction is executed determines the
manipulator where the analog output corresponding to speed is
performed.
For a coordinated job, the analog output corresponding to speed is
performed at the operating speed of the manipulator at the slave side.

Data Classification
For the DX100, data that can be saved online are classified into eight
categories.
1. JOB
2. FILE/GENERAL DATA
3. BATCH USER MEMORY*1
4. PARAMETER*2
5. SYSTEM DATA
6. I/O DATA
7. BATCH CMOS*3
8. ALL CMOS AREA*4
Data saved on the external memory device can be loaded again into the
DX100.
Each data in the eight categories varies depending on applications or
options.
When the device is set to “PC” and “FTP”, data cannot be handled other
than “1. JOB” and “2. FILE/GENERAL DATA”.
Also, the “1. JOB” whose name consists of more than nine letters cannot
be handled at “FC1” and “FC2”.
*1: “3. BATCH USER MEMORY” includes “1. JOB” and “2. FILE/
GENERAL DATA”.
*2: “PARAMETER BATCH” includes all “P4. PARAMETER”.
*3: “7. BATCH CMOS” includes “3. BATCH USER MEMORY”,
“4. PARAMETER”, “5. SYSTEM DATA”, and “6. I/O DATA”.
*4:“ALL CMOS AREA” data cannot be loaded in edit mode and
management mode.
PARAMETER, I/O DATA, SYSTEM DATA, PARAMETER
BATCH, BATCH CMOS, and ALL CMOS AREA are used
for backup.
If those data are loaded by other controllers, unintended
data overwriting, unexpected operation, or abnormal system startup may occur.
Do not load those backup data into other controllers.
NOTE
If two controllers are loaded with the same job, paths of the
two manipulators are different due to the home positions or
mechanical error of the component parts.
Be sure to check the operation instruction before operation.
The data such as variable data, user coordinate data, job
data, parameter data and each condition file data should not
be changed during saving the ALL CMOS AREA, SYSTME
DATA and BATCH USER MEMORY.
Changing the those data may cause incorrect saving as
well as during the playback.

File Existence
The following data categories show whether the same file name as a file
that is going to be saved is in the external memory device or not.
• JOB
No mark appears when the selected folder has the file of the same
name.
The asterisk (*) appears when the folder does not have the same
name file.
• FILE/GENERAL DATA, PARAMETER, SYSTEM DATA, I/O DATA
Black circle (
) appears when the selected folder has the file of
the same name.
White circle (
) appears when the folder does not have the same
name file.
SUPPLEMENT
Whether the job after editing is saved or not can be judged
by checking “TO SAVE TO FD” in the JOB HEADER window. However, the status of “TO SAVE TO FD” does not
change after saving “3. BATCH USER MEMORY” and “7.

The functions at each level are as follows:
0: Complete positioning to the target point
1 to 8: Inward turning operation
Following are explanations of the respective processing
details and their relations with the parameter.
SUPPLEMENT
• Level 0
Determines positioning completion when the amount of
deviation (number of pulses) to the target point of each
axis comes within the position set zone specified by the
parameter.
After the positioning completes, the instruction system
starts instruction to the next target point.
• Level 1 to 8
Recognizes virtual positioning before the target point. The
distance of the virtual target position from the target point is
specified at the positioning level.
Distance data corresponding to each level are set in the
parameter. Determination of the virtual target position is

Parameter
Parameters According to Interference Area
Interference Area
It is possible to output whether the TCP during operation is
inside or outside as a status signal, and to set the area to
control the position by parameters S2C003 to S2C194.
When the manipulator attempts to enter this area, the corresponding input signal (e.g. an “entrance prohibit signal”) is
detected. The manipulator stops immediately if there is an
input signal and goes into waiting status until this signal is
cleared. This signal is processed in the I/O section. Three
methods of interference area settings are prepared for
manipulators and stations. For a system with one manipulator, use robot 1.

Precaution When Setting the Interference Area
It will be necessary to consider the following when setting
the cubic interference and S-axis interference areas. The
manipulator is processed to decelerate to stop from the point
where it enters in the area. Therefore, set the areas in consideration of the amount of the manipulator movement in the
deceleration section shown in the figure below.

The move amount in the speed reduction section is dependent on the moving speed of the manipulator at that time:

Parity bits are set as the highest level bits of each output group. For
example, if OG#01 is specified with parity and DOUT OG# (1) 2 is
executed, the result will be 00000010 if 2 is binary converted. Since there
will be only one bit (odd) ON at this time, the parity bit (highest level bit)
will be set to ON and 10000010 (130) will be output to OG# (1).
As in the case of a variable such as DOUT OG# (1) B003 parity bits are
added to the contents of the variable data. However, if the contents of the
variable exceed 127, as in the case of DOUT OG# (1) 128, an alarm will

the R1 job. In this procedure, the job of subtask 2 controls only the R2
robot axis.
If the teaching position of the station in the subtask 2 differs from the
station current position (controlled by the subtask 1 job), the difference is
automatically offset so that R2 keeps the taught position in relation to the
station.
Difference between the taught and the station current positions is always
monitored. If the difference exceeds a set value of the parameter, the

The anticipator function is a function to quicken or slow the ON/OFF timing
of four user output signals and two user output groups. Using this
function, signal output can be carried out before or after the step is
reached. As a result, timing deviation due to delayed motion of peripheral
devices and robot motion can be adjusted.
Setting the time to a negative value (-) advances the signal output.
This setting is effective when adjusting timing deviation due to delayed
motion of peripheral devices.
Setting the time to a positive value (+) delays the signal output.
This setting is effective when adjusting timing deviation due to delayed
robot motion.

Input Signal
When the air pressure is low and
this signal turns on, an alarm
occurs. The servo power stays
on. This function signal must be
set in the Concurrent I/O
Parameter.
Normal: OFF
(NO)
Signal Function
This signal can be used during the

general-purpose input external
input is on.
To reset the alarm, turn the signal
off, and it will return to the alarm

(NO)
Signal Function
This signal can be used during the
low water cooling signal in the spot
input allocation display if the set
general-purpose input external
input is on.
To reset the alarm, turn the signal
off, and it will return to the alarm
reset operation.

ERROR
When a gun transformer error
occurs, this input turns off and an
alarm occurs. The servo power
stays on. This function signal
must be set in the Concurrent I/O
Parameter.
Normal: ON
(NC)
Signal Function
Even though usually a timer error is
transmitted to the timer from the
gun, and the main signal is
transmitted from the gun
transformer, an alarm may occur.
Also if the pressure, full open
status, short open status signal,
etc. is transmitted from the robot
controller, the signal line from the
timer to the gun becomes a
transthermo error only. If this signal
is checked on the robot side, the
signal line transmitted to the timer
disappears, and the cable handling
is made easier.
