12.6.2.5
To move only one axis to a desired position, right-click on one of the
position textboxes, and select ‘Move Single Axis’ in the context menu
that appears.
12.6.2.6
Motion Mode
: If “Joint” is selected, each joint will move the shortest
distance when executing a move. If “Linear” is selected, the end of
the arm will follow a linear path when executing a move.
12.6.3 Cycle Count: Robot usage statistics are displayed in the lower left corner of the
window.
12.6.3.1
The box
labeled “Z Axis” displays the total distance (m) traveled by
the Z Axis.
12.6.3.2
The box labeled “Total Moves” is the total number of move
commands executed by the robot, regardless of the distance of
those moves.
12.6.3.3
The box labeled “Maintenance Required” indicates whether the robot
requires periodic maintenance. Double-clicking this box will reset the
status to “False”. Do this only after actually performing periodic
maintenance.
Note: Cycle Count data is stored temporarily on the PC while the robot is
initialized and in use. Data accumulated on the PC will be saved to the robot
internal memory when the Teach Pendant is closed or when the DLL ShutDown
function is called. It is important to perform a clean shutdown prior to
disconnecting power from the robot in the case where the robot will be
transferred to another PC. Failure to do so will result in a loss of the Cycle Data
that has accumulated since the previous clean shutdown.
12.6.4
The “Master Velocity Scale” value specifies a scaling factor for all move
commands sent to the robot, both from the Teach Pendant and from the host
application. This is useful for testing new robot sequences at a reduced velocity
to minimize damage that could result from a collision.
