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 (axis 1 to 4). 
 
(Example) 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 
 
 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).
