 Position control by manual pulse generator operation 
 
In manual pulse generator operation, the position is moved by a "manual pulse 
generator 1 pulse movement amount" per pulse. 
The current feed value in the positioning control by manual pulse generator 
operation can be calculated using the expression shown below. 
 
Current feed value = Number of input pulses × 
Cd.20
Manual pulse generator 1 
pulse input magnification × Manual pulse generator 1 pulse 
movement amount 
 
Pr.1
Unit setting 
mm inch degree pulse 
Manual pulse 
generator 1 pulse 
movement amount 
0.1µm 0.00001inch 0.00001degree 1pulse 
 
For example, when "
Pr.1
Unit setting" is mm and "
Cd.20
Manual pulse 
generator 1 pulse input magnification" is 2, and 100 pulses are input from the 
manual pulse generator, the current feed value is as follows. 
 
100 × 2 × 0.1 = 20 [µm] 
= 200 [Current feed value] 
 
The number of pulses output actually to the drive unit is "Manual pulse generator 1 
pulse movement amount/movement amount per pulse 
". For example, when 
"
Pr.1
Unit setting" is mm and the movement amount per pulse is 1 µm, 0.1/1 = 
1/10, i.e., the output to the drive unit per pulse from the manual pulse generator is 
1/10 pulse. Thus, the QD75 outputs 1 pulse to the drive unit after receiving 10 
pulses from the manual pulse generator. 
 
Movement amount per pulse =

 Speed control by manual pulse generation operation 
 
The speed during positioning control by manual pulse generator operation is a 
speed corresponding to the No. of input pulses per unit time, and can be obtained 
using the following equation.  
 
Output command frequency = Input frequency
