Motion control
Single axes
Single-axis 
position 
control
Absolute positioning Positioning is performed for a target position that is specified with an absolute value
Relative positioning
Positioning is performed for a specified travel distance from the command current 
position
Interrupt feeding
Positioning is performed for a specified travel distance from the position where an 
interrupt input was received from an external input
Cyclic synchronous 
absolute positioning
A positioning command is output each control period in Position Control Mode
Single-axis 
velocity 
control
Velocity control Velocity control is performed in Position Control Mode
Cyclic synchronous 
velocity control
A velocity command is output each control period in Velocity Control Mode
Single-axis 
torque control
Torque control The torque of the motor is controlled
Single-axis 
synchronized 
control
Starting cam 
operation
A cam motion is performed using the specified cam table
Ending cam operation The cam motion for the axis that is specified with the input parameter is ended
Starting gear 
operation
A gear motion with the specified gear ratio is performed between a master axis and 
slave axis
Positioning gear 
operation
A gear motion with the specified gear ratio and sync position is performed between 
a master axis and slave axis
Ending gear operation The specified gear motion or positioning gear motion is ended
Synchronous 
positioning
Positioning is performed in sync with a specified master axis
Master axis phase 
shift
The phase of a master axis in synchronized control is shifted
Combining axes
The command positions of two axes are added or subtracted and the result is output 
as the command position
Single-axis 
manual 
operation
Powering the Servo The Servo in the Servo Drive is turned ON to enable axis motion
Jogging An axis is jogged at a specified target velocity
Auxiliary 
functions for 
single-axis 
control
Resetting axis errors Axes errors are cleared
Homing
A motor is operated and the limit signals, home proximity signal, and home signal 
are used to define home
Homing with 
parameter
The parameters are specified, the motor is operated, and the limit signals, home 
proximity signal, and home signal are used to define home
High-speed homing Positioning is performed for an absolute target position of 0 to return to home
Stopping An axis is decelerated to a stop
Immediately stopping An axis is stopped immediately
Setting override 
factors
The target velocity of an axis can be changed
Changing the current 
position
The command current position or actual current position of an axis can be changed 
to any position.
Enabling external 
latches
The position of an axis is recorded when a trigger occurs
Disabling external 
latches
The current latch is disabled
Zone monitoring
You can monitor the command position or actual position of an axis to see when it 
is within a specified range (zone)
Enabling digital cam 
switches
You can turn a digital output ON and OFF according to the position of an axis
Monitoring axis 
following error
You can monitor whether the difference between the command positions or actual 
positions of two specified axes exceeds a threshold value
Resetting the 
following error
The error between the command current position and actual current position is set 
to 0
Torque limit
The torque control function of the Servo Drive can be enabled or disabled and the 
torque limits can be set to control the output torque
Command position 
compensation
The function which compensates the position for the axis in operation
Cam monitor Outputs the specified offset position for the slave axis in synchronous control.
Start velocity You can set the initial velocity when axis motion starts
Axes groups
Multi-axes 
coordinated 
control
Absolute linear 
interpolation
Linear interpolation is performed to a specified absolute position
Relative linear 
interpolation
Linear interpolation is performed to a specified relative position
Circular 2D 
interpolation
Circular interpolation is performed for two axes
Axes group cyclic 
synchronous 
absolute positioning
A positioning command is output each control period in Position Control Mode
