9   MAJOR POSITIONING CONTROL 
 
 Restrictions 
 
An error will occur and the positioning will not start in the following cases. The 
machine will immediately stop if the error is detected during a positioning control.  
•
  If the movement amount of each axis exceeds "1073741824 (=2
30
)" when "0: 
Composite speed" is set in "
Pr.20
 Interpolation speed designation method" 
... The error "Outside linear movement amount range" (error code: 504) occurs 
at a positioning start. 
(The maximum movement amount that can be set in "
Da.6
 Positioning 
address/movement amount" is "1073741824 (=2
30
)".) 
 
 Positioning data setting example 
 
[Reference axis is designated as axis 1.] 
The following table shows setting examples when "3-axis linear interpolation 
control (ABS linear 3)" is set in positioning data No. 1 of axis 1. (The required 
values are also set in positioning data No. 1 of axis 2 and axis 3.)

Setting details 
Da.1
 
Operation pattern 
Positioning 
complete 
– – 
Set "Positioning complete" assuming the next 
positioning data will not be executed. 
Da.2
 
Control system  ABS linear 3  –  – 
Set absolute system 3-axis linear interpolation 
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 and 3. 
Da.6
 
Positioning address/ 
movement amount 
4000.0 
μ
m 8000.0 
μ
m 4000.0 
μ
m 
Set the end point 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 to the end 
point address. 
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.
