Introduction

A software change made during the DX200 generation controller disabled the ability for a programmer to change control groups of a job by simply selecting the job header and changing the control group. This is a common task when setting up Ferris-wheel type systems. This document will show you how to get around this on latter versions of DX200 and YRC1000 controllers. 

Mirror Shift

To change control groups of a job you will need to perform a mirror shift. The shifted axes are determined by parameter S1CxG065.  Prior to executing the mirror shift you will need to set S1CxG065=0 to ensure your points will not actually be shifted.

STEP 1:

• Open the job you want to change control groups with
• select [UTILITY]
• select [MIRROR SHIFT]

Step 2:

• Select the source job you want to have control groups changed on
• Step Section will default to capture all steps. Change if desired.
• Create a new name for the Destination Job (executed mirror shift job)
• Choose the desired Control Group for the executed mirror shift job.
• Select Execute
