What is a User Frame?

A User Frame is a coordinate system defined by the user to serve as a convenient reference for commands, usually anchored to the robot’s world (base) frame. By creating this frame, you can express positions and orientations in a familiar, workpiece-centered reference, and the system automatically transforms those commands into the robot’s actual joint movements. This is why aligning the user frame’s x, y, and z axes relative to the world frame is the correct description. The tool center point frame would be a Tool Frame (or TCP), not a User Frame, and joint limits or baud rate are unrelated to how frames are defined or used.
