Chapter 3 Before positioning
3- 42
(1) Step number
• The range of positioning data serial number is between 1 ~ 30.
(compact standard/high-end type is 1~80)
• When executing indirect start, simultaneous start, linear interpolation operation, position
synchronization and etc., if you designates the step number of data to operate, it operates
according to positioning dedicated K area where operation data is saved.
• If step number is set as 0, operation step indicated at the current step number (X axis:
K426(%KW426), Y axis: K436(%KW436)) of positioning monitor flag is operated.
Remark
• The user can use variable of dedicated K area per each step easily by using Register U
Device. For detail of monitor registration of positioning, refer to XG5000 user manual.
(2) Coordinates
• Here sets the coordinates method of relevant operation step data.
• Coordinates methods selectable are absolute coordinate and Incremental coordinate.
• For more detail, refer to 3.1.2.
(3) Operation pattern (END/KEEP/CONT) and operation method (SIN/REP)
• The user can select one pattern among three operation patterns per step. It can configure how to
use the positioning operation data.
• Operation pattern can be set as follows according to Control and Method on the operation data.
Control Method Pattern Reference
POS
SIN
END
KEEP
CONT Linear interpolation is not available
REP
END
KEEP
CONT Linear interpolation is not available
SPD
SIN
END Linear interpolation is not available
KEEP Linear interpolation is not available
CONT Not available
REP
END Linear interpolation is not available
KEEP Linear interpolation is not available
CONT Not available
• In case Method is set as SIN, the next operation step become ‘current operation step + 1’. And in
case Method is set as REP, the next operation step become the step set in REP Step.
