State Transitions
State transitions are defined for axes, axes groups, and instruction execution.
For details on the state and state transitions of the MC Function Module, refer to the NY
-series
Industrial Panel PC / Industrial Box PC Motion Control User’s Manual (Cat. No. W559).
Execution and Status of Motion Control Instructions
Variables that start instruction execution or that indicate the execution status are defined as common
rules for the instructions.
There are two input variables that start instruction execution: Execute and Enable.
The output variables that indicate the execution status of an instruction include Busy, Done,
CommandAborted, and Error.
For detailed specifications of the MC Function Module, refer to the NY
-series Industrial Panel PC /
Industrial Box PC Motion Control User’s Manual (Cat. No. W559).
Precautions for Correct Use
The timing in the timing charts that are given in this manual may not necessarily be the same as
the timing displayed for data traces on the Sysmac Studio.
Refer to the NY
-series Industrial Panel PC / Industrial Box PC Software User’s Manual (Cat.
No. W558) for details on data tracing.
