Chapter 6 Positioning Monitoring Package   
 
6-5 
 
Remark 
 
 
• Note that the positioning command through the XGB positioning monitoring package is executed 
regardless of the operation mode of PLC. 
• If the PLC operation mode is Run mode, the positioning command is executed in the positioning 
monitoring package, and if a different command is executed in the instruction of the program, XGB 
PLC executes them both. 
Therefore, in such a case, it might operate differently from the intent of the user or an error might 
occur. 
Note that if you use the positioning monitoring package, positioning by the instruction in the program is 
not executed. 
 
(2) Positioning Monitoring Window   
      • The monitoring window on the right of the monitoring package displays the current status according to the 
positioning command.   
• The information displayed in the positioning monitoring window is as follows.
