Abstract
When an operator selects one of many jog modes, including a tool feed mode, robot coordinate system feed mode, user coordinate system feed mode, joint feed mode, etc., a display controller displays a jog feed direction adapted for the selected mode for superposition on a robot image on a monitor screen. If the operator depresses any of jog feed direction selector keys, the jog feed direction corresponding to the depressed key is displayed for discrimination.
