(15) Connection No.
After completing travel, this sets the position No. to continue traveling.
If "wait time" is not set, this function will be disabled.
This function is subject to the following precautions. Be sure to check before use.
(1) AUTO/MANU mode
■ This function can only be enabled in AUTO mode. When performing continuous operation
with PC software, use the easy programming function.
(2) Gateway operation mode
■ In simple direct mode, this function is disabled.
■ An alarm is generated when a position number exceeding the maximum number of
positions according to the operation mode of the gateway unit is set as the connection
destination during position linking travel.
■ An alarm is generated when the operation mode of the gateway unit is changed to a mode
with fewer position numbers, if the linked position numbers are out of range during position
linking travel after position data editing.
(3) Position linking operation
■ If the destination is set so that the linked positions are looped, operation will continue
endlessly.
For example, if a multi-rotation specification rotary actuator is set to repeat incremental
movement in index mode, it continues to rotate.
■ Set appropriate wait times, etc., in order not to exceed the duty limit.
■ Also, when operating endlessly, position travel will not be completed.
In order to stop the unit, pause it by turning ON pause signal STP, then input reset signal
RES and perform remaining travel distance cancel or turn OFF the servo.
■ When a travel command is issued to the linked position, the cycle time displayed on the tool
is added up to the command complete signal MEND output of the travel complete position
including the wait time.
Also, when looping a linked destination position, the cycle time continues to be added.
When the counter upper limit value is exceeded, the count will start again from 0.000 sec.
