7.8 Zone Signal Output
Two types of zone output signals are available: zone output (ZONE1) and position zone output (PZONE).
The boundaries defining the signal ON range are set differently for each zone output.
[1] Zone output (ZONE1) --- Set by parameter No. 1/No. 2.
[2] Position zone output (PZONE) --- Set in the “Zone boundary-“ and “Zone boundary+” fields of the
position table.
Whether these signals are available or not varies depending on the PIO pattern, as shown below.

Example of use in operation) Move the actuator from the home to the 150-mm position (position 1) and
output a zone signal once the actuator enters the range between 40 mm
and 120 mm.
Method) Zone output (ZONE1)
The signal ON range is set by the “Zone boundary+” and “Zone
boundary-” parameters.
Parameter No. 1 Zone boundary+ 120 (mm)
Parameter No. 2 Zone boundary– 40 (mm)
Position zone output (PZONE)
The signal ON range is set in the “Zone boundary+” and “Zone
boundary-” fields of the position table.
