Geometries with orientation support
198 Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-UM002F-EN-P - February 2018
The following trend shows the Ry mirror image orientation and associated flip
behavior on Rx and Rz axes.
The move that is demonstrated in the example is a pure Ry move from 45.0 in
the mirror non-flip region (Rx = 180.0
) in a positive direction ending at 45.0
in the rollover region (Rx = 0
).
Tips:
The flip of Rx and Rz values as Ry crosses the mirror boundary at 90 .
• No motion is commanded on Rx or Rz, only Ry.

The following orientation angle specifications are not allowed in Logix Designer
application due to singularity conditions involving multiple solutions or other
scenarios involving Euler angle specification:
• The orientation [Rx = 180.0
, Ry = 90.0 ] is mathematically correct but is
not allowed in Logix Designer application due to ambiguity with the [Rx =
0.0 , Ry = 90.0 ] specification. Always use Rx = 0.0 when specifying
Ry = 90.0
.
• An absolute orientation move starting at [Rx = 180.0,
Ry = 0.0 ] and
ending at [Rx = 0.0
, Ry = 0.0 ] is not allowed. See example 6 in Use
MCPM to program Ry absolute moves for geometries with mirror image
position.
• Shortest rotary path moves for Ry is not allowed when both start and end
orientation lies in the mirror flip region. See example 6 in Use MCPM to
program Ry absolute moves for geometries with mirror image position.
