2.
On the
Coordinate System Properties
dialog box, on the
General
tab,
select
Cartesian
as the
Type
.
3.
Click the
Dynamics
tab.
Use the settings on the
Dynamics
tab in the
Coordinate System Properties
dialog box to enter Vector, Actual and Command Position Tolerance, and
Orientation values for a Cartesian coordinate system.
The
Dynamics
tab is only available when configuring a Cartesian coordinate
system.

The settings on the
Dynamics
tab in the
Coordinate System Properties
dialog
box are used to enter vector, position and tolerance, and orientation values for a
Cartesian coordinate system.
The
Vector
values are used by the Coordinated Motion instructions in
calculations when the operands are expressed as percent of Maximum. The
Coordination Units
automatically change when the coordination units are
redefined on the
Units
tab.
The
Orientation
values are used by the Motion Coordinate Path Move (MCPM)
instruction. These values are always in units of degrees, and only available when
System Type
is Cartesian and
Coordinate Definition
is <none>.
Parameter
Description
Vector Maximum Speed
The value used by the Coordinated Motion instructions to calculate vector speed when speed is
expressed as a percent of maximum.
Vector Maximum Acceleration
The value used by the Coordinated Motion instructions to determine the acceleration rate to
apply to the coordinate system vector when acceleration is expressed as a percent of maximum.
Vector Maximum Deceleration
The value used by the Coordinated Motion instructions to determine the deceleration rate to
apply to the coordinate system vector when deceleration is expressed as a percent of maximum.
The Maximum Deceleration value must be a non-zero value to achieve any motion using the
coordinate system.
