Motion Control Instructions
Motion control instructions are used in the user program to execute motion controls for an NY-series
Controller. These instructions are defined as function blocks.
The motion control instructions of the MC Function Module are based on the technical specifications of
function blocks for PLCopen
®
motion control.
There are two types of motion control instructions: PLCopen
®
-defined instructions and instructions that
are unique to the MC Function Module.
This section provides an overview of the PLCopen
®
motion control function blocks and motion control
instructions.
For details on motion control instructions, refer to the NY-series Industrial Panel PC / Industrial Box PC
Motion Control User’s Manual (Cat. No. W559).
Refer to the NX-series Position Interface Units User’s Manual (Cat. No. W524) for information on us-
ing the NX-series Position Interface Units.

Motion Control
PLCopen
®
standardizes motion control function blocks to define a program interface for the languages
specified in IEC 61
131-3 (JIS B 3503).
Single-axis positioning, electronic cams, and multi-axes coordinated control are defined along with ba-
sic procedures for executing instructions.
By using PLCopen
®
motion control function blocks, programming can be more easily reused without
hardware dependence.
Costs for training and support are also reduced.
