Chapter 7 Introduction of Motion Flow
1-2
M-Series PLC Motion User Manual
This section describes the motion control method specially designed for FATEK M-PLC and it is named
as Motion Flow Control here. Such function is able to display, monitor and design the motion control
flow in a more complete manner. Further, it can achieve the designed logic control and continuous
motion control more effectively. The Motion Flow can execute 16 rounds of independent Flow at the
same time, and each individual Flow contains up to 16 branches. When using the Motion Flow, do
not execute over 16 Flows or 16 branches at the same time. Described below is the control module
of the Motion Flow. Listed in the table below are the maximum motion points and the maximum
Motion Flow Block that can be supported by the Motion Flow.
*In the future, there will be models with more capacity, so you can pay more attention to the latest
news and manuals on Fatek's official website.
