l Three types of position scale are available for the user to select the appropriate type for each
purpose. Position scale type can be switched by setting the PS command.
Table 9-10
PS setting Type of position scale Application
PS0 Linear position scale Ball screw driving, limit motion range.
PS1* Single-rotation position scale General indexer, etc.
PS2-99 Multi-rotation position scale Chain driving, etc.

1 Linear position scale
l This position scale extends linearly from the origin in both plus and minus directions.
l Scale values range from -2 147 483 648 [pulses] to +2 147 483 647 [pulses] with the Home position
at 0. The coordinate value increases in the plus direction. When it exceeds +2 147 483 647 [pulses],
the value returns to -2 147 483 648 [pulses]. Falling below -2 147 483 648 [pulses], the value returns
to +2 147 483 647 [pulses].
