Creating & Configuring Your Coordinate
System Tag
Introduction The Coordinate System tag is used to set the attribute values to be used by the
Multi-Axis Coordinated Motion instructions in your motion applications. The
Coordinate System tag must exist before you can run any of the Multi-Axis
Coordinated Motion instructions. This is where you introduce the
COORDINATE_SYSTEM data type, associate the Coordinate System to a
Motion Group, associate the axes to the Coordinate System, set the dimension,
and define the values later used by the operands of the Multi-Axis Motion
Instructions. The values for Coordination Units, Maximum Speed, Maximum
Acceleration, Maximum Deceleration, Actual Position Tolerance, and
Command Position Tolerance are all defined by the information included
when the Coordinate System tag is configured. This chapter describes how to
name, configure, and edit your Coordinate System tag.
Creating a Coordinate
System Creating a coordinate system adds it to your application. There are four ways
in which you can initiate the creation of a coordinate system. The first way is to
go to the File pull-down menu, select New Component, and then select Tag.
