Coordinate system tag attributes
Attribute Description
MotionGroupInstance
Type the name of the associated motion group or type NA.
SystemType
Specify the coordinate system type. Type Cartesian, Articulated Dependent, Articulated Independent, Delta,
SCARA Delta, or SCARA Independent.
Dimension
Specify the number of axes that this coordinated system supports. Type 1, 2, or 3.
Axes Specify the name of the axes in this coordinated system.
CoordinationMode
Specify coordination mode. Type Primary or Ancillary.
CoordinationUnits Specify units to be used for measuring and calculating motion related values such as position, velocity. Type units that
are relevant to your application.
ConversionRatioNumerator The conversion ratio defines the relationship of axis position units to coordination units for each axis. Type the numerator
as a float or an integer.
ConversionRatioDenominator The conversion ratio defines the relationship of axis position units to coordination units for each axis. Type the
denominator as an integer.
CoordinateSystemAutoTagUpdate Specify whether or not the actual position values of the current coordinated system are automatically updated during
operation. To enable auto tag update, type 1. Otherwise, type 0.
MaximumSpeed Specify the maximum speed to be used by the coordinated motion instructions in calculating vector speed when speed is
expressed as a percent of maximum.
MaximumAcceleration Specify the value for maximum acceleration to be 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.
MaximumDeceleration Specify the value for maximum deceleration to be 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.
ActualPositionTolerance Specify the value in coordination units, for actual position to be used by coordinated motion instructions when they have
a termination type of actual tolerance.
CommandPositionTolerance Specify the value in coordination units, for command position to be used by coordinated motion instructions when they
have a termination type of command tolerance.
TransformDimension Specify the transform dimension.
