9   MAJOR POSITIONING CONTROL 
 
 Positioning data setting example 
 
[Reference axis is designated as axis 1.] 
The following table shows setting examples when "4-axis fixed-feed control (fixed-
feed 4)" is set in positioning data No. 1 of axis 1. (The required values are also set 
in positioning data No. 1 of axis 2, axis 3 and axis 4.)

Setting details 
Da.1 Operation pattern  Termination  –  –  – 
Set "Termination" assuming the 
next positioning data will not be 
executed. 
Da.2 Control method  Fixed-feed 4  –  –  –  Set 4-axis fixed-feed control. 
Da.3 
Acceleration time 
No. 
1 – – – 
Designate the value set in 
"
Pr.25
 Acceleration time 1" 
as the acceleration time at start. 
Da.4 
Deceleration time 
No. 
0 – – – 
Designate the value set in 
"
Pr.10
 Deceleration time 0" 
as the deceleration time at 
deceleration. 
Da.5 
Axis to be 
interpolated 
– – – – 
Setting not required (setting 
value will be ignored). 
When axis 1 is used as a 
reference axis, the interpolation 
axes are axes 2, 3 and 4. 
Da.6 
Positioning address/ 
movement amount 
4000.0 
µ
m 8000.0 
µ
m 4000.0 
µ
m 3000.0 
µ
m 
Set the positioning address. 
(Assuming "mm" is set in 
"
Pr.1
 Unit setting".) 
Da.7 Arc address  –  –  –  – 
Setting not required (setting 
value will be ignored). 
Da.8 Command speed 
6000.00 
mm/min 
– – – 
Set the speed during 
movement. 
Da.9 Dwell time  500ms  –  –  – 
Set the time the machine dwells 
after the positioning stop (pulse 
output stop) to the output of the 
positioning complete signal. 
Axis 1   Positioning data No. 1 
Da.10 
M code  10  –  –  – 
Set this when other sub 
operation commands are issued 
in combination with the No. 1 
positioning data. 
 
   Refer to section "5.3 List of positioning data" for information on the setting details.  
 
POINTS 
 
•
 When the "reference axis speed" is set during 4-axis fixed-feed control, set so the 
major axis side becomes the reference axis. If the minor axis side is set as the 
reference axis, the major axis side speed may exceed the "
Pr.8
 Speed limit 
value". 
•
 Refer to section "9.1.6 Interpolation control" for the reference axis and 
interpolation axis combinations.
