(5) Precautions during control
(a) Absolute position system (ABS)/Incremental system (INC).
Set the ABS/INC settings with the AlphaStep/5-phase
1) Incremental system (INC)
When the Multiple CPU system power supply is turned OFF and
turned ON again, the home position request turns ON, and the feed
current value from the AlphaStep/5-phase is displayed.
2) Absolute position system (ABS)
a) "3: Servo command value" and "4: Feedback value" for [Pr.300]
Servo input axis type cannot be used. If they are used the current
value of the servo input axis may not be correctly restored therefore
use "1: Feed current value" and "2: Actual current value".
b) When control units are degree axis and the stroke limit is valid, the
following positioning controls may not operate correctly when they
are started, therefore do not use them.
Operating system software

Positioning control
"00L" or later
• Absolute specification instructions in speed-switching
control (VSTART instruction)
"00K" or later
• Instructions for pass point absolute specifications in
constant-speed control (CPSTART instruction) (linear
interpolation, circular interpolation, helical interpolation)
• Position follow-up control (PFSTART instruction)
• Absolute specification instructions in speed-switching
control (VSTART instruction)
