Attention

  • Execution with Next option during motion does not affect any instruction in motion.
  • The coordinate number specified by this command is retained until the controller power turns OFF. When the power turns ON, the coordinate number will be reset. To keep selecting the coordinate number you have set after the power OFF, set the user parameter [14:Restoration of TOOL/WORK data] to [1:Enabled].
  • The coordinate number can be changed with a teach pendant. For details, refer to the "Displaying and Changing Mode Selection Screen" of TEACH PENDANT OPERATION GUIDE. The coordinate number changed by a teach pendant will be retained after the controller power OFF.
  • To specify the work coordinate number at the controller power ON, set the user parameter [143:WORK number setting] to a work coordinate number you want to use. However, if [14:Restoration of TOOL/WORK data] is set to [1:Enabled], the work coordinate number used at the previous controller power OFF will be used.
