Programming mode (P-CHAN-00288)

P-CHAN-00288

Programming mode (Universal Kinematics)

Description

The programming mode defines the tool orientation from the programmed values (point-vector mode or angle modes). Alternatively the mode can also be set by the channel parameter P-CHAN-00112 .

A setting of the kinematics has priority over P-CHAN-00112.

Parameter

trafo[j].programming_mode

kin_step[i].trafo[j].programming_mode (multistep transformations)

kinematik[91].programming_mode (up to Version V2.11.28xx)

Data type

REAL64

Data range

10: Point-vector programming. Tool orientation is programmed by the axes U, V, W. The vector [U, V, W] need not be normalised but neither may it be the zero vector.

11: Free programming. Not currently supported.

12: Direct programming. The configured kinematic chain is used to calculate the tool position and orientation from programmed Cartesian coordinates and angles.

13: Conformal programming. Same as direct programming but without any axis offsets, shifts or direction flags. For example, enables the programming of 45° axis positions.

14: AB programming.

15: BA programming.

16: AC programming.

17: CA programming.

18: BC programming.

19: BC programming.
