6.2.2 Interrupt positioning function 
The interrupt positioning function executes an operation by changing the remaining distance to the travel 
distance that is set with [Pr. PT31] (Mark sensor stop travel distance) when MSD (Mark detection) is turned 
on. The interrupt positioning function is enabled by setting [Pr. PT26] to "1 _ _ _". 
 
POINT 
 
The interrupt positioning function can be used with the point table method and 
the program method. However, the interrupt positioning function is disabled in 
the following condition. 
During home position return 
During manual operation 
During stop 
During deceleration or stop with TSTP (Temporary stop/restart) 
An error may occur depending on the droop pulses at the time of MSD (Mark 
detection) is turned on and a minimum stopping distance required for 
deceleration. 
 
(1) Parameters 
Set the parameters as follows: 
 
Item  Parameter to be used  Setting 
Control mode selection  [Pr. PA01] 
Select a control mode. 
_ _ _ 6 (Positioning mode (point table method)) 
_ _ _ 7 (Positioning mode (program method)) 
Mark detection function selection  [Pr. PT26] 
Set the mark detection function selection as follows: 
1 _ _ _: Interrupt positioning function 
Starts the interrupt positioning function at rising of MSD (Mark 
detection). 
MSD (Mark detection) Polarity 
selection 
[Pr. PT29] 
The polarity of MSD (Mark detection) can be changed with 
[Pr. PT29]. 
Starts the interrupt positioning function at rising of MSD 
(Mark detection) if "_ _ _ x" bit 3 of [Pr. PT29] is off. 
Starts the interrupt positioning function at falling of MSD 
(Mark detection) if "_ _ _ x" bit 3 of [Pr. PT29] is on. 
Mark sensor stop travel distance 
(lower three digits) 
[Pr. PT30] 
Set the lower three digits of the travel distance after the mark 
detection.  
The travel distance starts from the current position regardless 
of the setting of absolute value command method or 
incremental value command method. 
Mark sensor stop travel distance 
(upper three digits) 
[Pr. PT31] 
Set the upper three digits of the travel distance after the mark 
detection.  
The travel distance starts from the current position regardless 
of the setting of absolute value command method or 
incremental value command method. 
Mark detection range + (lower 
three digits) 
[Pr. PC66] 
Set the upper and lower limits of the interrupt positioning 
function. If a sign for the upper and lower differ, [AL. 37] 
occurs. When the roll feed display is enabled, set a valid 
range with the travel distance from the starting position. 
Mark detection range + (upper 
three digits) 
[Pr. PC67] 
Mark detection range - (lower 
three digits) 
[Pr. PC68] 
Mark detection range - (upper 
three digits) 
[Pr. PC69]
