5   DATA USED FOR POSITIONING CONTROL 
 
Da.1
Operation pattern 
The operation pattern designates whether positioning of a certain data No. is to be 
ended with just that data, or whether the positioning for the next data No. is to be 
carried out in succession. 
 
[Operation pattern] 
 
 
 
 
 
Positioning complete Independent positioning control
(Positioning complete)
Positioning 
continued
Continuous positioning with one start signal Continuous positioning control
Continuous path positioning with speed change Continuous path control
.............................................................................
.....
..........
 
 
1) Positioning complete..................... Set to execute positioning to the designated 
address, and then complete positioning. 
2) Continuous positioning control ..... Positioning is carried out successively in 
order of data Nos. with one start signal. 
The operation halts at each position 
indicated by a positioning data. 
3) Continuous path control................ Positioning is carried out successively in 
order of data Nos. with one start signal. 
The operation does not stop at each 
positioning data. 
 
Da.2
Control system 
Set the "control system" for carrying out positioning control. 
Note) 
•
  When "JUMP instruction" is set for the control system, the "
Da.9
 
Dwell time" and "
Da.10
M code" setting details will differ. 
 
•
  In case you selected "LOOP" as the control system, the "
Da.10
 
M code" should be set differently from other cases. 
 
•
  Refer to CHAPTER 9 "MAJOR POSITIONING CONTROL" for details 
on the control systems. 
 
•
  If "degree" is set for "
Pr.1
Unit setting", circular interpolation control 
cannot be carried out. (The error "Circular interpolation not possible" 
(error code: 535) will occur when executed.) 
 
Da.3
Acceleration time No. 
Set which of "acceleration time 0 to 3" to use for the acceleration time during 
positioning. 
0 : Use the value set in "
Pr.9
Acceleration time 0". 
1 : Use the value set in "
Pr.25
Acceleration time 1". 
2 : Use the value set in "
Pr.26
Acceleration time 2". 
3 : Use the value set in "
Pr.27
Acceleration time 3".
