12-11Pulse Output Pattern
The CP2E CPU Unit’s pulse output function enables operation in Continuous Mode, for which the num-
ber of output pluses is not specified, or in Independent Mode, for which the number of output pulses is
specified. Continuous Mode is used for speed control and Independent Mode is used for positioning.
The following operations can be performed in Continuous Mode by combining instructions.
