•
Associate the coordinate system tag to a Motion Group.
•
Select the type of coordinate system to configure.
•
Select the coordinate definition based on the robot geometry structure.
•
Select the dimension and transform dimension if the coordinate definition
is <none>. Otherwise the dimension and transform dimension values are
automatically set depending on the geometry type.
•
Specify the number of axes to transform.
•
Assign axes to the coordinate system tag.
•
Enable or disable automatically updating the tag.
The Logix Designer application supports only one Motion Group tag per
controller.

The settings on the
General
tab in the
Coordinate System Properties
dialog box
define the coordinate system. Use the settings to assign the coordinate system to a
Motion Group, select the coordinate system type, and enter associated axis
information.

Parameter
Description
Motion Group
The Motion Group associated with the Coordinate System.
A Coordinate System assigned to a Motion Group is displayed in the
Motion Groups
folder in the
Controller
Organizer
, under the selected Motion Group sub-folder. Selecting <none> terminates the Motion Group
association, and moves the coordinate system to the
Ungrouped Axes
sub-folder in the
Motions Groups
folder.
Opens the
Motion Group Properties
dialog box for the selected Motion Group to edit the motion group
properties.
If no Motion Group is assigned to this coordinate system, this button appears dimmed.
New Group
Opens the
New Program Parameter or Tag
dialog box to create a new Motion Group tag.
This button is available only if no Motion Group has been created.
Type
The robot geometry type associated with the Motion Group.
Available choices are:
•
Cartesian
