8   OPR CONTROL 
 
 Restrictions 
 
When this method is used, a deviation will occur in the stop position (OP) 
compared to other OPR methods because an error of about 1ms occurs in taking 
in the near-point dog ON. 
 
 Precautions during operation 
 
(1)  An error "Count method movement amount fault" (error code: 206) will occur 
and the operation will not start if the "
Pr.50
 Setting for the movement 
amount after near-point dog ON" is smaller than the deceleration distance 
from the "
Pr.46
 OPR speed" to "
Pr.47
 Creep speed". 
 (2) If the speed is changed to a speed faster than "
Pr.46
 OPR speed" by the 
speed change function (refer to Section 12.5.1 "Speed change function".) 
during a machine OPR, the distance to decelerate to "
Pr.47
 Creep speed" 
may not be ensured, depending on the setting value of "
Pr.50
 Setting for the 
movement amount after near-point dog ON". In this case, the error "Count 
method movement amount fault" (error code: 206) occurs and the Machine 
OPR is stopped. 
(3)  The following shows the operation when a machine OPR is started while the 
near-point dog is ON.

Near-point dog OFF 
 
[Operation when a machine OPR is started at 
the near-point dog ON position] 
1)  A machine OPR is started.  
2)  The machine moves at the OPR speed in the 
opposite direction of an OPR.  
3)  Deceleration processing is carried out by 
"
Pr.39
 Stop group 3 sudden stop 
selection" when the near-point dog OFF is 
detected. 
4)  After the machine stops, a machine OPR is 
carried out in the OPR direction.  
5)  The machine OPR is completed after moving 
the movement amount set in the "
Pr.50
 
Setting for the movement amount after near-
point dog ON".

(4)  Turn OFF the near-point dog at a sufficient distance from the OP. 
Although there is no harm in operation if the near-point dog is turned OFF 
during a machine OPR, it is recommended to leave a sufficient distance from 
the OP when the near-point dog is turned OFF for the following reason. 
If machine OPRs are performed consecutively after the near-point dog is 
turned OFF at the time of machine OPR completion, operation will be 
performed at the OPR speed until the hardware stroke limit (upper/lower limit) 
is reached. 
If a sufficient distance cannot be kept, consider the use of the OPR retry 
function.
