SetArchParam (Library) [(Version 1.9 or later)]


Defines the start position of a horizontal movement (Arch start position) in upward movement of the arm endpoint and the end position in downward movement (Arch end position).


SetArchParam (<Arch start position>, <Arch end position>)


This library configures an arch form.
<Arch start position> is the distance (mm) from the source position in the direction of the Z axis; <Arch end position> is that from the destination position.
The entry range is from 0 to "Maximum reach position (mm) in the Z-axis direction" in increment of 1 mm.
The defaults of <Arch start position> and <Arch end position> are 0 mm when the robot controller is turned on.
Values defined in this library will be effective until the robot controller is turned off.


Requires file <pacman.h>



Specifying any invalid value will cause no syntax error, but it will result in a run-time error at the execution of the ArchMove.


CALL SetArchParam (10,20)
'Set the arch form so that the arm endpoint
'moves upward 10 mm, starts horizontal move
'and ends it 20 mm above the destination.
<Program lines hidden>
Call ArchMove (P10,100)
'Execute arch motion towards destination P10
'with 100 mm Z-axis vertical move.
