10.3 Function and Operation
The variable speed pulse output instruction changes the speed while using the rotation direction output.
The acceleration/deceleration function applies for the variable speed pulse output (PLSV) instruction, which 
makes it possible to specify whether acceleration/deceleration will be used or not.
If an FX
3UC PLC below Ver.2.20 is used, operation will be performed without acceleration/deceleration.
10.3.1 Operation without Acceleration/Deceleration (M8338 = OFF)
If the output pulse frequency   value is changed after turning the 
acceleration/deceleration function (M8338) OFF, the variable speed 
pulse output (PLSV) instruction will change the output frequency without 
using acceleration/deceleration.
→ For details on the maximum speed and bias speed, refer to Subsection 4.2.5 and Subsection 4.2.6.
1) For  , specify the output pulse frequency.
Even if pulses are being output, the output pulse frequency   can be changed freely.
Acceleration/deceleration, however, will not be performed.
2) For  , specify the pulse output number in the range of Y000 to Y003.
3) For  , specify the rotation direction signal output device number.
When a high-speed output special adapter is used as a destination for pulse output on a FX
3U PLC, use 
the output shown in the following table for rotation direction signals.
When a built-in transistor output is used as a destination for pulse output on a FX
3G/FX3U/FX3UC PLC, 
use transistor output for signals rotation direction.
