J2
Defines translational (mm) or rotational
(deg) position for Joint 2. For SCARA
robots this is a rotational joint angle.
Defines a change in translational (mm) or
rotational (deg) joint position for Joint 2.
The change is added to the current
position of the robot joint (if it is stopped)
or the joint position at the destination of
the current motion.
J3
Defines translational (mm) or rotational
(deg) position for Joint 3. For SCARA
robots this is a translational joint position
in millimeters.
Defines a change in translational (mm) or
rotational (deg) joint position for Joint 3.
The change is added to the current
position of the robot joint (if it is stopped)
or the joint position at the destination of
the current motion.
J4
Defines translational (mm) or rotational
(deg) position for Joint 4. For SCARA
robots this is a rotational joint angle.
Defines a change in translational (mm) or
rotational (deg) joint position for Joint 4.
The change is added to the current
position of the robot joint (if it is stopped)
or the joint position at the destination of
the current motion.
J5
Defines translational (mm) or rotational
(deg) position for Joint 5. For a 4-axis
SCARA robot, this is not used.
Defines a change in translational (mm) or
rotational (deg) joint position for Joint 5.
The change is added to the current
position of the robot joint (if it is stopped)
or the joint position at the destination of
the current motion.
J6
Defines translational (mm) or rotational
(deg) position for Joint 6. For a 4-axis
SCARA robot, this is not used.
Defines a change in translational (mm) or
rotational (deg) joint position for Joint 6.
The change is added to the current
position of the robot joint (if it is stopped)
or the joint position at the destination of
the current motion.
