BASE monitor command instruction) can be used to compensate for the location differences, so that motions to the previously-defined locations will still work properly. Additionally, the BASE command (or instruction) can be used to realign the X- and Y- coordinate axes, so that SHIFT functions cause displacements in desired, nonstandard directions. NOTE : The BASE command has no effect on locations defined as precision points. The parameters for the BASE command describe the displacement of the robot relative to its "normal" location. The BASE function can be used with the LISTL command to display the current BASE setting (i.e., with the command LISTL BASE).
Examples Redefine the World reference frame because the robot has been shifted "xbase" millimeters in the positive X direction and 50.5 millimeters in the negative Z direction, and has been rotated 30 degrees about the Z axis. BASE xbase,, -50.5, 30 Redefine the World reference frame to effectively shift all locations 100 millimeters in the negative X direction and 50 millimeters in the positive Z direction from their nominal location. Note that the arguments for this instruction describe movement of the robot reference frame relative to the robot, and thus have an opposite effect on locations relative to the robot.
