Function Description

Attention

If you the change work coordinates during area interference (area check) function enabled state, depending on the system, it will take up to 10ms before the new work coordinate is reflected into the interference check area judgment.
To use the new work coordinate for the area interference check without fail, before you change the work coordinate, set the robot so that the area interference does not occur (such as stop the robot motion), wait until the new work coordinate is applied to the system, and restart the robot.
