SECTION 3
Operation
This section covers all aspects of Position Control Unit operation other than commands, which are covered in the follow-
ing section. Included in this section are the basic operating procedure, the type of output pulses possible, the basic data
format and configuration, some special features to aid operation (such as flags, zone settings, backlash compensation and
internal limits) and the internal data calculation methods used in processing user-input data.
