(2)  When "PLS (pulse)" is set as the control unit 
When using PLS (pulse) as the control unit, set the electronic gear as 
follows. 
 
   AP  = "No. of pulses per rotation" 
   AL  = "Movement amount per rotation" 
   AM = 1 
 
Example) When the motor is the HC-MF (8192PLS/rev) 
AP 
= 8192  …...
Pr.2
 
AL 
= 8192  …...
Pr.3
 
AM 
= 1  ………..
Pr.4
 
 
(3)  When "degree" is set as the control unit for a rotary axis 
When the rotary axis is used, the motor is HC-SF (16384PLS/rev) and the 
reduction ratio of the reduction gear is 3/11 
 
Reduction
ratio 3/11
M
 
 
First, find how many degrees the load (machine) will travel (
S
) when the 
motor turns one revolution (AP). 
 
 
•
 AP(No. of pulses per rotation) = 16384 
 
•
 
S
(Machine travel value per motor revolution)  
= 360.00000 [degree]
 
 
Reduction ratio 
= 360.00000
 
 
3/11 
Substitute this for the above expression (1). 
 
AP 
16384 [PLS]   
S
 
= 
360.00000 [degree]
