Field Network Specication: Explanation of Operation Modes
If controlling via a eld network, one of the following 8 modes can be selected to operate the actuator.
Please note that the data areas required on the PLC side will vary depending on the mode.
Mode Description
0
Remote I/O
mode
Similar to the PIO specication, this mode operates by turning bits ON/OFF over a network. The number of positioning points
and functions will vary depending on the operation patterns (PIO patterns) set by the controller's parameters.
1
Position/simple
direct value mode
The target position value is directly input, while all other operational conditions (speed, acceleration, etc.) are used by
specifying the position number of the desired operating condition entered in position data.
2
Half direct value
mode
The actuator is operated by directly inputting values other than the target position (speed, acceleration/deceleration, and push
current).
3
Full direct value
mode
The actuator is operated by directly inputting values for the target position, speed, acceleration/deceleration rate, push current
limit value, etc. The current position, current speed, command current value, and load cell data can also be read.
4
Remote I/O
mode 2
This mode is the same as the remote I/O mode above, with the added functionality of reading the current position and
command current value.
5
Position/simple
direct value mode 2
This mode provides a force control function instead of the display and zone functions of the position/simple direct value mode
above.
6
Half direct value
mode 2
This can read load cell data instead of the command current (which is a function of the half direct value mode above).
7
Remote I/O
mode 3
This mode is the same as the r
emote I/O mode above, with the added functionality of reading current position and load cell
data.
