2 Manipulator Coordinate Systems and Operations
2.1 Control Groups and Coordinate Systems
2 Manipulator Coordinate Systems

and Operations
2.1.1 Control Group

For the NX100, 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
This is any axis other than the ro-
bot and base. It indicates the
Base tilt or rotating axis of the fixture.
This is the axis that moves the entire manipulator.
It corresponds to the servo track.
It controls the path of traveling manipulators.

155223-1CD

2.1.2 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.

2.3.8 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 the tool
from a list of registered tools (Refer to “Selecting the Tool” in section 2.3.4 "Tool Coordinates"), 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

The TCPs for Tool 1 and Tool 2 are taken as P1 and P2, respectively. When Tool 1 is selected to
perform axis operation, P1 (Tool 1’s TCP) is the target point of the operation. Tool 2 follows Tool 1 and
is not controlled by axis operation. On the other hand, Tool 2 is selected to perform axis operation, P2
(Tool 2’s TCP) is the target point of axis operation. In this case, Tool 1 follows Tool 2.

3.2.2 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 three elements of position data, Interpolation type, and play speed are registered for the
robot axes steps at one time. If the interpolation type or play speed settings are omitted during
teaching, the data used from the previously taught step is automatically used.
 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.

 Circular Interpolation
The manipulator moves in an arc that passes through three points. When circular interpolation is used
for teaching a robot axis, the move instruction is MOVC.
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.

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 preceding circular move must coincide with the beginning point of the
following circular move.

 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.

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
NOTE any significant difference, an error will occur on playback and the manipulator 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.

3.2.3 Teaching Steps

 Registering Move Instructions
Whenever one step is taught, one move instruction is registered. There are two ways to teach a step.
Steps can be taught in sequence as shown in the following left figure "Registering Move Instructions" or
they can be done by inserting steps between already registered steps, as shown in the right figure
"Inserting Move Instructions." This paragraph explains the teaching of "Registering Move Instructions,"
the operations involved in registering new steps.

Registering Move Instructions Inserting Move Instructions
Teaching of "Inserting Move Instructions" is called “Inserting move instruction,” to distinguish it from the
method shown in "Registering Move Instructions." For more details on this operation, see section 3.4.2
"Inserting Move Instructions". The basic 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.

Setting Position Level

The position level is the degree of approximation of the manipulator to a taught position.
The position level can be added to move instructions MOVJ (joint interpolation) and MOVL (linear
interpolation). If the position level is not set, the precision depends on the operation speed. Setting an
appropriate level moves the manipulator in a path suitable to circumferential conditions and the
workpiece. The relationship between path and accuracy for position levels is as shown below.

3.3.1 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 manipulator moves by a single step.
[FWD]: Moves the manipulator ahead in step number sequence. Only the move
instruction is executed when [FWD] is pressed, but when [INTERLOCK]
+ [FWD] are pressed, all instructions are executed.
[BWD]: Moves the manipulator backward a step at a time in reverse step

number sequence. Only the move instruction is executed.
NOTE
For safety, set manual speed at or below.
1 Move the cursor to the step to

be checked.
2 Press [FWD] or [BWD]. The manipulator reaches the following / previous step and stops.
 Precautions When Using FWD / BWD Operations

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

• 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 in

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 in the following, 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.

3.9.4 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
The data formats for user variables are described in the following table:

• Play Speed V:
NOTE MOVL V=I000
The variable I000 is used for speed V with this move instruction.
The unit for V is 0.1mm per second.
For example, if I000 were set as 1000, the following would be true:
I000=1000  unit for V is 0.1mm/s  V=100.0 mm/s
Note that, depending on the unit being used, the value of the variable and the value of the
actual speed on occasion might not match.
• Play Speed VJ:

MOVL VJ=I000
The unit for VJ is 0.01%.
I000=1000  unit for VJ is 0.01%  VJ=10.00%.
• Timer T:

 Manipulator Types
When robot axis position data is described in the XYZ format, a number of solutions are obtained from
the manipulator’s structure when moving it to the described position. In order to select one appropriate
solution, it is necessary to specify the manipulator type. This manipulator type is called “Type.” There
are up to six types in NX100 system. These types also vary according to the manipulator 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
These six types are described in the following:
• 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 manipulator in which
the R-axis can move more than ±180° even in position A, it is necessary 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 following “R-axis Angle.”
Flip No Flip
0° 0°
A B
-90 < θ R ≤ 90 90 < θ R ≤ 270

270 < θ R ≤ 360, -360 < θ R ≤ -270 -270 < θ R ≤ -90
NOTE θ R is the angle when the R-axis home position is 0°.

NOTE θ R is the angle when the R-axis home position is 0°.
• T-axis Angle
This specifies positions of the R-, B-, and T-axis.
For manipulators with wrist axes (three axes), this specifies whether the T-axis angle is
less than ±180° or greater than ±180°.
T <180° T ≥ 180°
0° 0°
360° -360°

• Front/Back
This specifies where in the S-axis rotation center the B-axis rotation center locates when
viewing the L-axis and U-axis from the right-hand side. When viewed from the right-hand
side, the right of the S-axis rotation center is called the front, and the left is called the
back.

User variables and local variables can be used in 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

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 one 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.
User Variable
B001
Job 1 Job 2 Job 3

Job 1 Job 2 Job 3 Local Variable Local Variable Local Variable
LB001 LB001 LB001
User Variables Local Variables
• 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.
3-80 143 of 435
RE-CSO-A036
155223-1CD
3 Teaching
• 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 to 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

NOTE 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 section 3.9.4 "User Variables".

6.2 Parallel Shift Function
6.2.1 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 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).
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.

6.2.2 Setting the Shift Value

 Registering Position Variables
The NX100 has 128 position variables (P000 to P127); these can be used to define parallel shift values.
When using the parallel shift function, it is necessary to measure the distance between the teaching
point and the shift destination position (XYZ displacement of each coordinate) and then register this in
advance as a position variable.
When the shift instruction is executed in playback, the operation is performed at a location shifted from
the taught position by the amount registered for the specified position variable. The POSITION
VARIABLE window is shown in the following.
POSITION VARIABLE
#P000 ROBOT NAME:
R1:X -200.000 TOOL: 00

Rx 0.00 FRONT S>=180
Ry 0.00 UP R>=180
Rz 0.00 FLIP T< 180
Amount of wrist
displacement (° )
SFTON P000
 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 coordinates, and user coordinates. In systems
with no servo track, the base coordinates and robot coordinates are the same.

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.

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.

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 target position (shift position) when parallel shift is performed
is determined in the specified coordinate system, and set as the specified position variable.

6.2.4 Continuation of the Parallel Shift Function
• If the shift function is cancelled through a job editing operation after 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 instruction, 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
• When control power is turned OFF
NOTE The parallel shift function remains in effect even if the control power supply is turned OFF.

6.3 Parallel Shift Job Conversion Function

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 parallel shift conversion is performed, all job steps are shifted by the same value.
Steps Outside the P-point Maximum Envelope

NOTE “/OV” is displayed for 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
Position variables are not subject to 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)
If a job name after conversion is not specified when executing parallel shift job conversion,
NOTE 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.

6.3.2 Coordinate Systems for Conversion

When performing 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 (24 types)
• Master tool coordinates (R*+R* job)
• Joint 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.

6.5 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.

6.5.5 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.
• 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:

 Notes on handling Compact Flash

• Do not drop or bend exerting any shock or strong force to the Compact Flash.
• Keep away from water, oil, organic solvent, dust, and dirt.
• Do not use or keep the Compact Flash in places where strong static electricity or
electronic noise may occur.
• To protect the data, back up the data regularly on other media. Damages or loss of data
due to operation errors or accidents can be minimized.
*Compact Flash has a limited life span.

The life span differs depending on products or status of use. However, normal use of Compact Flash as
an external memory device for the NX100 does not adversely affect the Compact Flash. For details,
refer to instruction manuals for each medium.

7.2.1 Normal Mode Data Classification

For the NX100, data that can be saved in the normal mode are classified into eight categories.
 JOB
 FILE/GENERAL DATA
 BATCH USER MEMORY*1
 PARAMETER*2
 SYSTEM DATA
 I/O DATA
 BATCH CMOS*3
 ALL CMOS AREA*4
Data saved on the external memory device can be loaded again into the NX100.
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 “ JOB” and
“ FILE/GENERAL DATA.”
*1 “ BATCH USER MEMORY” includes “ JOB” and “ FILE/GENERAL DATA.”

*2 “PARAMETER BATCH” includes all “ PARAMETER.”
*3 “ BATCH CMOS” includes “ BATCH USER MEMORY”, “ PARAMETER”,
“ SYSTEM DATA”, and “ 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
NOTE 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.
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.

7.2.2 Collective Backup

For the NX100, four types of collective backup are available: CMOS.BIN, CMOSBK.BIN,
ALCMSxx.HEX, and CMOSxx.HEX.
 CMOS.BIN
For the normal backup, use this data.
Save: Perform in the maintenance mode (the editing mode or higher.)
Load: Perform in the maintenance mode (the management mode.)
As for the load/save procedures, refer to “NX100 INSTRUCTIONS”.
Target Area: All areas of the internally-stored data. (Note that the monitoring time is not loaded.)
 CMOSBK.BIN
This data is used in the automatic backup function.
Save: In the normal mode, saves with the preset conditions.
Load: Perform for the system restoration in the maintenance mode (the management mode.)
For details, refer to “NX100 INSTRUCTIONS”.
Target Area: All areas of the internally-stored data. (Note that the monitoring time is not loaded.)
 CMOSxx.HEX
This data is loaded/saved in the FD/CF menu of the normal mode.
Save: Perform in the normal mode (the editing mode or higher.)
Load: Perform in the normal mode (the management mode.)
For details, refer to the following pages.
Target Area: The collected data including "Job File", "Data File", "Parameter File", "System
Data", and "I/O Data" which can be individually loaded/saved in the FD/CF menu. Because
the setting information of robot etc. are not included in the collected data, the system cannot
be completely restored.
 ALCMSxx.HEX
This data is for the manufacturer only. Users can save but cannot load this data.
In order to save the batch data, the following free space per file is needed in the Compact Flash card.
JZNC-NIF01-1: (The number of stored file + 1) x 7.5 MByte
JZNC-NIF01-2: (The number of stored file + 1) x 11.0 MByte
Note that the free space for one working file is needed in addition to the above mentioned space when
using the automatic backup function.
Besides, it is recommended to store the backup data in two or more Compact Flash cards to minimize
problems if the Compact Flash card is damaged.

Positioning level
Positioning specification
The value set in this parameter specifies the range to enter in relation to the teaching point for that step
positioning. After entering the specified positioning zone, the manipulator starts moving to the next
step. The system is also set up so inward turning operation is carried out in the moving section when
moving to the next path; speed changeover is smooth.
Since operation will be turning inward during playback, as shown in the following diagram, use setting
values taking safety aspects into consideration.

Position Level
SUPPLE
-MENT
Position levels are divided into nine stages of 0 to 8 with the “MOV” instruction.
e.g. MOVL V=500 PL=1 (PL:Position Level)
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.
• 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 carried out in the instruction system.
Set zone: The zone of each positioning level set in the parameter. (μm)

Interference Area
SUPPLE
-MENT
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 S2C114. 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

SUPPLE
-MENT
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.
Interference area
Deceleration
Stop
Speed
Movement
Speed reduction section
The move amount in the speed reduction section is dependent on the moving speed of the
manipulator at that time:
V = 1500mm/s  approx. 300mm (Max.)

V = 1000mm/s  approx. 160mm
V = 30mm/s  approx. 3 to 4 mm
V = 20mm/s  approx. 2mm

9.4 Anticipation Output Function
The anticipation output function is a function to quicken or slow the execution timing of painting start/
end instructions. Using this function, a paint start or end instruction can be carried out before or after
the step is reached.
“ANT=” is used when anticipation output is performed.
“ANT=” can be added to the following two instructions:
SPYON (spray start)
SPYOF (spray stop)
To carry out anticipation output, set the time “ANT=**second,” add it to the SPYON or SPYOF
instruction, and set “NWAIT” to the move instruction of the step.
Setting the time to a negative value (-) advances the signal output.
Setting the time to a positive value (+) delays the signal output.
9.4.1 Example

• If a CALL or JUMP instruction is added before the SPYON instruction, the NWAIT
operation is interrupted and the setting of “ANT=XX” is disregarded. Painting starts when
the cursor moves to the SPYON instruction.
• The NWAIT operation is not performed in a FWD/BWD operation or during playback in
one step. Therefore, the same operations as those done when NWAIT is not set are
performed.
• Because the NWAIT operation is not continued when the manipulator is restarted after an
emergency stop, the path differs from the continuous operation path.
If NWAIT is not set to the move instruction before the SPYON/SPYOFF instruction, the
NOTE execution timing of SPYON/SPYOF becomes the same as the normal DOUT instruction,
and the anticipation cannot be executed.
When executing the anticipation, be sure to set NWAIT to the move instruction before the
SPYON/SPYOF instruction.

9.5.2 Notes on the SPYON Instruction

When a SPYON instruction is carried out, the Specific Output Signals (a work start instruction)
corresponding to the specified gun number turns ON. The instruction also sets the advance time for
turning ON the spray and the delay time for turning ON the atomizing in the register. These times are
set in the painting system characteristics setting file.
The concurrent I/O ladder program controls the actual outputs of the spray signal and atomization
signal according to the ON status of the work start instruction of the Specific Output Signals and the
advance time for turning ON the spray and the delay time for turning ON the atomizing that are set in
the register. The graph shows the timing of when the spray signal and the atomization pressure signal
are turned ON.

9.5.4 Notes on the SPYOF Instruction

When a SPYOF instruction is carried out, the Specific Output Signals (a work start instruction)
corresponding to the specified gun number turns OFF. The instruction also sets the advance time for
turning OFF the spray and the delay time for turning OFF the atomizing in the register. These times are
set in the painting system characteristics setting file.
The concurrent I/O ladder program controls the actual outputs of the spray signal and atomization
signal according to the OFF status of the work start instruction of the Specific Output Signals and the
advance time for turning OFF the spray and the delay time for turning OFF the atomizing that are set in
the register. The graph shows the timing of when the spray signal and the atomization pressure signal

Error warns the operator not to advance to the next operation caused by a wrong operation or the
access method when using the programming pendant or an external equipment (computer, PLC, etc.).
When an error occurs, confirm the content of the error then release the error.
To release the error, perform either of the following operations:

• Press [CANCEL] on programming pendant.
• Input alarm/error reset signal (system input).
NOTE An error is different from an alarm because it does not stop the robot even if it occurred
while the robot was operated (during playback).
