What does the Active Coordinate System identify on the FS100 pendant?

• A. Controls the gripper force
• B. Sets the robot speed
• C. Determines how each of the eight axis keys operate and the motion type in Teach mode
• D. Selects the active tool

Answer: (C)

The Active Coordinate System defines the reference frame that the teach pendant uses to interpret axis input and moves. On the FS100 pendant, the eight axis keys will jog according to the selected coordinate system, so they can control individual joints in a joint view or move in a Cartesian frame (world/base or tool) in other views. It also determines the motion type used when teaching motion, such as whether moves are performed as joint moves or Cartesian/linear moves. Because of this, the setting directly governs how each axis key behaves and what kind of motion you’ll record in Teach mode. Gripper force, overall speed, or selecting a tool are controlled by other settings, not by the Active Coordinate System.
