5 Functions set with parameters
This controller has various parameters listed in
. It is possible to change various functions and
default settings by changing the parameter settings.
For the parameters regarding dedicated I/O signals, refer to
Page 416, "6.3 Dedicated input/output"
. After
changing the parameters, make sure to turn the robot controller's power OFF and then turn ON.
Parameter settings will not be in effect until the power is turned on again. For detailed operating method for
parameters, refer to
Page 74, "3.14 Operation of maintenance screen"
When changing parameters, check thoroughly the function and setting values first.
Otherwise, the robot may move unexpectedly, which could result in personal injury or
property damage.

MEJAR
Real value 16 Set the overrun limit value for the joint coordinate system.
Sets the movement range for each axis. Expanding of the move-
ment range is not recommended, since there is possibility that the
robot may strike the mechanical stopper.
Set the minus and plus directions. (-J1,+J1,-J2,+J2,......-J8,+J8)

XYZ movement
range
MEPAR
Real value 6 Set the overrun limit value for the XYZ coordinate system.
The movement range of the robot will be limited based on XYZ
coordinate system. This can be used to prevent the robot from
striking peripheral devices during manual operation when the robot
is installed within the device.
Set the minus and plus directions. (-X,+X,-Y,+Y,-Z,+Z) Unit:mm

MEXTL
Real value 6 Initial values will be set for the hand tip (control point) and the
mechanical interface (hand mounting surface). The factory default
setting is set to the mechanical interface as the control point.
Change this value if a hand is installed and the control point needs
to be changed to the hand tip.
(This will allow posture control at the hand tip for XYZ or tool jog
operation.)
