4.2.5 Operation with the Position No. Input (PIO Patterns 0 to 3 and 6)
This section describes the methods of operations of PIO patterns 0 to 3 and PIO pattern 6.
These patterns provide normal controller operation methods in which the controller is operated
by turning the start signal ON after a position No. is entered.
PIO Pattern 6 is dedicated for the force sensor used pressing. It is for operation of an actuator
equipped with a loadcell and is capable of pressing control with high precision. It is necessary to
have the initial setting established for calibration and parameters before operation.
Refer to [4.2.8 Preparation for Operation in Force Sensor Pressing (Loadcell Calibration)]
The control methods of positioning, pitch feed, and pressing are the same as those described
before.
Note PIO Pattern 6 is applicable only for PCON-CBP/CGBP.

Note For incremental type, operation without home return leads the operation based on the
data of the specified position No. after automatic home return. If one or more problems
are found, interlock by home return complete signal HEND is required.
In the battery-less absolute or simple absolute type, if it gets into a condition that the
home-return operation is incomplete due to such a reason as a parameter change,
operation to the indicated position number would not be performed, but only the home-
return operation should be performed.
