Important:
You can use this instruction with the following controllers:
1756-L6 controllers
1756-L7 controllers
1756-L7S controllers
1756-L8 controllers
1769-L18ERM controllers
1769-L27ERM controllers
1769-L30ERM controllers
1769-L33ERM controllers
1769-L36ERM controllers
Use the MCT instruction to start a transform that links two coordinate systems
together. This is like bi-directional gearing. One way to use the transform is to
move a non-Cartesian robot to Cartesian positions.
Important:
Tags used for the motion control attribute of instructions should only be used once.
Re-use of the motion control tag in other instructions can cause unintended
operation. This may result in damage to equipment or personal injury.
