FX2N-10GM and FX2N-20GM positioning Learning to Use the FX Family for Positioning Control
FX Positioning Control Systems 4 - 53
4.5.2 Using dedicated software to set positioning for the FX2N-20GM
In the example that follows, an FX
2N
-20GM is used with the FX-PCS-VPS/WIN-E software to perform
positioning on two axes. The FX-PCS-VPS/WIN-E software (also referred to as VPS) is beneficial for
defining positioning parameters and setting positioning operations. Operations can be visually
organized in a flow chart format and a monitoring window can be configured with user-defined
objects.
To test operations with an FX
2N
-20GM, an actuator (i.e., servo system) and PLC are not required. For
information on the cables necessary to connect an FX
2N
-20GM to a personal computer for program-
ming, refer to the FX
2N
-10GM/FX
2N
-20GM Hardware/Programming Manual (JY992D77801).
Operation objective
The objective of this example is to use the FX
2N
-20GM to trace a path using 1-speed, linear interpo-
lation, and circular interpolation operations.
