Updating revolution countersGeneralThis section details how to perform a rough calibration of each robot axis, i.e. updating therevolution counter value for each axis, using the pendant.Step 1 - Manually running the robot to the calibration positionThis procedure details the first step when updating the revolution counter; manually runningthe robot to the calibration position.Step 2 - Storing the revolution counter setting with the FlexPendantThis procedure details the second step when updating the revolution counter; storing therevolution counter setting with the FlexPendant (RobotWare 5.0).Action Note1. Select axis-by-axis motion mode.2. Jog the robot to place the calibration markswithin the tolerance zone.Shown in section Calibration scales andcorrect axis position on page 178.3. When all axes are positioned, store therevolution counter settings.Detailed in sections:Step 2 - Storing the revolution countersetting with the FlexPendant on page 180(RobotWare 5.0).Action1. On the ABB menu, tap Calibration.All mechanical units connected to the system are shown along with their calibrationstatus.Continues on next page
