(11) Editing the operation mode of each axis (checkboxes)
One of six operation modes can be set. Select a desired operation mode for each address using the corresponding
checkbox.
Left-click the applicable cell to place an asterisk (*) in the cell.
The occupied I/O size per axis in each mode is as follows:
[1] Positioner 1 mode ······················································ 4 words each for input and output
[2] Simple direct mode····················································· 4 words each for input and output
[3] Direct numerical specification mode (Positioning)······ 8 words each for input and output
[4] Positioner 2 mode ······················································ 2 words each for input and output
[5] Solenoid valve mode 1··············································· 2 words each for input and output
[6] Solenoid valve mode 2··············································· 2 words each for input and output
Caution
1. If the positioner 1 mode, simple direct mode and direct numerical specification (positioning) mode are combined, set
positioner 1 mode and simple direct mode axes sequentially starting from the lowest axis number, and then specify
direct numerical specification (positioning) mode axes.
Setting cannot be made in the reverse order.
2. The group of the positioner 1 mode, simple direct mode and direct numerical specification (positioning) mode cannot be
combined with the group of the positioner 2 mode, solenoid valve mode 1 and solenoid valve mode 2.
(Example) The positioner 1 mode cannot be combined with the solenoid valve mode 1.
Number of connectable axes
• Number of axes in positioner 1 mode or simple direct mode = X
Number of axes in direct numerical specification mode = Y
Under the above conditions, the numbers of connectable axes X and Y should satisfy the following formula:
X + 2Y
≤ 16 (axes)
Number of I/O words should satisfy the following formula.
4 (X + 2Y) + 8 (words)
• When number of axes in positioner mode 2 = Z:
Z
≤ 16 (axes)
Number of I/O words should satisfy the following formula.
27 + 8 (words)
