6.2.10 Overview of 7-point Type

The number of positioning points is kept small, or specifically to seven or less. This type assumes simple

applications where the PLC ladder sequence only requires a simple circuit configuration.

I/O signals provide separate command inputs and movement complete outputs for respective position

numbers.

Accordingly, the signal pattern is different from the one in the 64-point positioning type (PIO pattern = 0).

Example) The differences are explained by using an example of moving the actuator to the target

position for position No. 5.

[1] 7-point type

* In the 64-point type, a position command input (binary) signal and a start input signal must be turned

ON at staggered timings to initiate movement (refer to the next page). In this type, however, there is

only one input signal that needs to be turned ON.

 Explanation of I/O signals

Signal name Category Function explanation

Direct position command 0 (ST0) Movement command to the target position for position No. 0

Direct position command 1 (ST1) Movement command to the target position for position No. 1

Direct position command 2 (ST2) Movement command to the target position for position No. 2

Direct position command 3 (ST3) Movement command to the target position for position No. 3

Direct position command 4 (ST4) Movement command to the target position for position No. 4

Direct position command 5 (ST5) Movement command to the target position for position No. 5

Direct position command 6 (ST6)
