NJ-series CPU Unit Software User’s Manual (W501)
System-defined variables are defined in advance in an NJ-series Controller. The names and all attri-
butes are defined by the system. They have specific functions. You cannot change the variable names
or any other attributes.
The system-defined variables are specific to a function module. There are system-defined variables for
each function module. The types of system-defined variables are listed in the following table.
The system-defined variables for motion control are classified according to what the Motion Control
Function Module does, as listed in the following table.
*1 An axes group consists of multiple axes. An axes group is used for interpolation.
Refer to A-3 System-defined Variables for details on system-defined variables.
