[17] Push direction specification (DIR) PLC output signal

Specifies the direction of push-motion.
When this signal is turned OFF, push-motion is performed toward the value obtained by
subtracting the positioning width from the target position.
When this signal is turned ON, push-motion is performed toward the value obtained by adding
the positioning width to the target position.
This signal is disabled when normal positioning operation is selected.

ON when push-motion operation is performed but does not touch the workpiece, even after
traveling the distance set by the positioning width of the controller's position table or positioning
width register of the PLC.
[19] Command complete signal (MEND) PLC input signal

This signal turns ON when the travel to the target position commanded from the host is
completed.
It is almost the same control as the positioning complete PEND signal, but this signal will turn
ON even if in push-motion contactless.
It turns OFF at servo OFF and drive source cutoff. Also, if positioning start signal CSTR is ON, it
will not turn ON even if movement to the target position is completed.
