12  DATA USED FOR POSITIONING CONTROL
12.3  Basic Setting
Basic parameters1
This section describes the details on the basic parameter 1.
n: Axis No. - 1
[Pr.1] Unit setting
Set the unit used for defining positioning operations. Choose from the following units depending on the type of the control 
target: mm, inch, degree, or pulse. Different units can be defined for different axes.
Different units (mm, inch, degree, and pulse) are applicable to different systems:
 • mm or inch: X-Y table, conveyor (Select mm or inch depending on the machine specifications.)
 • degree: Rotating body (360 degrees/rotation)
 • pulse: X-Y table, conveyor
*1 When you change the unit, note that the values of other parameters and data will not be changed automatically.
After changing the unit, check if the parameter and data values are within the allowable range.
Set "degree" to exercise speed-position switching control (ABS mode).
[Pr.2] to [Pr.4] Electronic gear (Movement amount per pulse)
Mechanical system value used when the Simple Motion module performs positioning control.
The settings are made using [Pr.2] to [Pr.4].
The electronic gear is expressed by the following equation.
*1 When positioning has been performed, an error (mechanical system error) may be produced between the specified movement amount 
and the actual movement amount.
The error can be compensated by adjusting the value set in electronic gear.

 • The result of below calculation (round up after decimal point) is a minimum pulse when the current feed 
value is updated at follow-up processing. (The movement amount for droop pulse is reflected as the current 
feed value when the droop pulse becomes more than above calculated value in pulse unit of motor end.)
