ASDA-A2  Chapter 7 Motion Control 
7-12     Revision February, 2017 
7.4  Description of PR Mode 
PR Procedure: It is the smallest unit of command. Command could be one or many procedures to 
constitute. 
Procedure is triggered by DI.CTRG. POS0~POS5 is used to specify the triggered procedure 
number. 
The triggered procedure is completed and will trigger the next one automatically. The procedure 
number can be set and the delay time between procedures as well. 
The E-Cam function is provided in PR mode. It can be enabled via PR procedure. After it is 
disabled, it can return to the specified PR procedure.
