3) Since the operation mode of step 3 is single, the next step is No. 4. 
4) Step 4 has been set as end/repeat 1, it operates up to absolute coordinates 40,000 when step 4 
operates by the second operation instruction, and stops without dwell time, and the next step 
points at step 1 which has been designated as the Repeat step. 
5) The operation pattern can be illustrated as follows. 
 
 
 
(d) Incessant Operation 
• Incessant operation refers to the operation that continues the steps set as continued operation by 
the operation instruction. 
• The continued operation can be explained with the operation data in the following table.

1) Since the operation pattern of step 1 has been set as continued, it operates up to the 
incremental coordinates 10,000 pulse at 500pps by the first operation instruction, and changes 
the operation speed to 1,000pps without deceleration or stop and continues to operate step 2. 
2) Because the operation pattern of step 2 is end, it moves to incremental coordinates 20,000 and 
the positioning ends after the dwell time. 
 
 
 
Remark 
 
 
• If the direction changes during the continued operation, error code 511 comes out and the 
operation stops. If the direction has to change, change “Continuous” into “End” or “Keep”.
