Basic Characteristics RAPID

EOffsSet Activates an offset for external axes using a value
Example
Arguments
EOffsSet (External Offset Set) is used to define and activate an offset for external axes
using values.
VAR extjoint eax_a_p100 := [100, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0];
.
EOffsSet eax_a_p100;
Activation of an offset eax_a_p100 for external axes, meaning (provided that the
external axis “a” is linear) that:
- The ExtOffs coordinate system is displaced 100 mm for the logical axis “a” (see
Figure 1).
- As long as this offset is active, all positions will be displaced 100 mm in the
direction of the x-axis.
.

EAxOffs (External Axes Offset) Data type: extjoint
The offset for external axes is defined as data of the type extjoint, expressed in:
- mm for linear axes
- degrees for rotating axes
