Unit select / PTUNIT
This parameter selects the point data unit system to be used when the controller is
started. For incremental specification robots and semi-absolute specification robots,
the current position is displayed in "pulse" units at controller startup because return-
to-origin is incomplete. When this parameter is used to select "mm" units, the
position display is switched to "mm" units at the same time when return-to-origin is
completed. This parameter is set to "Normal" when the parameters are initialized.

NOTE
• This parameter is supported by controllers of Ver. 9.08 onwards.
• Tool coordinate mode is enabled when the robot has an R-axis and the
hand installed on the R-axis is specifi ed by hand data. If the robot does
not have an R-axis or the hand installed on the R-axis is not specifi ed by
hand data, the unit system will be automatically changed to X (mm/°)
after start-up even if T (mm/°) is selected by parameter.
