How to Display and Set the Base Definition

Set the robot base position viewed from the origin of the world coordinate.

World coordinate system is a coordinate system whose origin is specified by a user. This system enables multiple robots to use a common coordinate system for position designation.
By setting the origin of the facilities to that of the world coordinate system, you can set positions of different robots on the same coordinate system.
To use this function, you need to set the user parameter No.190 "BASE number setting" to 1.

Operation path : Basic screen - [F2 Arm] - [F6 Aux] - [F10 Base]

Base setting window appears.

Available function keys
[F4 Easy Edit] Set the Base definition by performing three position teaching with a robot.
[F5 Change] Select a coordinate element you want to change, and then press [F5 Change] to display a ten-key. Enter a value with the ten-key, and then press [OK] on the ten-key. To confirm the change, press [OK] on the Base setting window.
Start up [Enable/Disable]

Set whether the base setting is enabled/disabled at the startup.

The change of this parameter will be effective after rebooting.
