9   MAJOR POSITIONING CONTROL 
 
 Restrictions 
(1)  The axis error "Continuous path control not possible" (error code: 516) will 
occur, and the operation cannot start if "continuous path control" is set in 
"
Da.1
 Operation pattern". 
(2)  "Speed-position switching control" cannot be set in "
Da.2
 Control system" of 
the positioning data when "continuous path control" has been set in "
Da.1
 
Operation pattern" of the immediately prior positioning data. (For example, if 
the operation pattern of positioning data No. 1 is "continuous path control", 
"speed-position switching control" cannot be set in positioning data No. 2.) The 
axis error "Continuous path control not possible" (error code: 516) will occur 
and the machine will carry out a deceleration stop if this type of setting is 
carried out. 
(3)  The error "No command speed" (error code: 503) will occur if "current speed  
(-1)" is set in "
Da.8
 Command speed". 
(4)  If the value set in "
Da.6
 Positioning address/movement amount" is negative, 
the error "Outside address range" (error code: 530) will occur. 
(5)  Even though the axis control data "
Cd.23
 
Speed-position switching control 
movement amount change register" was set in speed-position switching 
control (ABS mode), it would not function. The set value is ignored.
 
 
(6)  To exercise speed-position switching control (ABS mode), the following 
conditions must be satisfied: 
(a) "
Pr.1
 Unit setting" is "2: degree" 
(b) The software stroke limit function is invalid (upper limit value = lower limit 
value) 
(c) "
Pr.21
 Current feed value during speed control" is "1: Update current 
feed value" 
(d) The setting range of "
Da.6
 Positioning address/movement amount" is 
within 0 to 359.99999 (degree) 
(If the value is outside of the range, the error "Outside address range" 
(error code: 530) will occur at the start.) 
(e) The "
 
Pr.150
 
 Speed-position function selection" setting is "2: Speed-
position switching control (ABS mode)". 
(7)  If any of the conditions in (6)(a) to (6)(c) is not satisfied in the case of (6)(e), 
the error "Speed-position function selection error" (error code: 935) will occur 
when the PLC READY [Y0] turns from OFF to ON. 
(8)  If the axis reaches the positioning address midway through deceleration after 
automatic deceleration started at the input of the speed-position switching 
signal, the axis will not stop immediately at the positioning address. The axis 
will stop at the positioning address after N revolutions so that automatic 
deceleration can always be made. (N: Natural number) 
In the following example, since making deceleration in the path of dotted line 
will cause the axis to exceed the positioning addresses twice, the axis will 
decelerate to a stop at the third positioning address.
