2.2 Operation Modes and Functions
ME0342-4B 2-5
2.2 Operation Modes and Functions
There are 8 types of operation patterns equipped in this controller so the controller suits for
various ways of use.
The operation pattern setting should be established in Parameter No. 25 “PIO Pattern”.
2.2.1 Operation Mode of Controller
There are two types of operation modes equipped in this product.
In the positioner mode, there are 6 types of control systems equipped in in PCON-CB and 8 types
in PCON-CBP so the controller suits for various ways of use. Also, there are two types of control
systems equipped in the pulse train control mode (in I/O type PLN or PLP in PCON-CB).
The control system to be used should be set in Parameter No. 25 “Select PIO Pattern”.
The setting should be established in the PC software or a teaching pendant.
