8-4 Robot Language Description
8-4-23 MOVM
Function: Moves to a point on the specified matrix.
Format: MOVM <pallet work position>, <maximum speed>
Example: MOVM 23, 100
Moves to the point at row 3, column 7 at speed 100 when a matrix of 5 ×
8 is defined by the MAT statement.
Explanation: This command moves the robot to each point on a matrix specified by
the MSEL statement.
This command allows the robot to start moving when all axes are within
the "positioning-completed pulse" range. This command ends when all
axes enter the OUT valid position.
(1) Pallet work position
The pallet work position is a number used to identify each point on a
matrix, and can be from 1 to 65025 (=255 × 255). For example, on a
"row M, column N" matrix, the pallet work position at "row A, col-
umn B" is found by (A–1) × N+B. When a character "C" or "D" is
entered here for special use, a counter variable is set in each pallet
work position.
(2) Maximum speed
The maximum speed can be set to any level between 1 and 100. If
the execution speed in OPRT mode is 100, then 100 will be equal to
2000 mm/sec. (when PRM44=2000).
Others: • The MOVM statement performs calculation on the assumption that
the robot operates on the Cartesian coordinate system.
• Because only a single-axis robot is controlled with the SRCP series,
the actual movement is linear even if a 2-dimensional matrix is de-
fined.
