3-1
3.1 Absolute Motion and Relative Motion
3.1.1 Absolute Motion
An absolute motion is a motion to move a taught position.
An absolute motion always moves to a taught position without being affected
by the previous motion.
The commands to execute an absolute motion are as follows.
APPROACH, MOVE, GOHOME, DRIVEA
3.1.2 Relative Motion
A relative motion is a motion to move by a taught distance from the current
position.
Since a relative motion sets its reference to the current position of the result of
executing the previous motion command, the previous motion command
affects the motion.
The commands to execute a relative motion are as follows.
DEPART, DRAW, DRIVE, ROTATE, ROTATEH
3.1.3 Absolute Motion and Relative Motion Examples
Here are two example programs to move the robot from the current position P1
to point P3 through point P2.
“MOVEMENT1” is expressed with an absolute motion.
“MOVEMENT2” is expressed with an absolute motion and a relative motion. If
you execute them, both programs perform the same motion, as shown in Fig.
3-3.
PROGRAM MOVEMENT1
TAKEARM
MOVE L, P2
MOVE L, P3
END
Fig. 3-1 Absolute Motion Example
PROGRAM MOVEMENT2
TAKEARM
MOVE L, P2
DRAW L, V3 'V3 is the relative distance of P2 and P3.
