Panasonic FP-XH Series

1.3 Comparison of Pulse Output Function
1.3.1 Types of Positioning Control Modes
For using the FP-XH pulse output function, the following two control modes are available.
■
Table setting mode
● Positioning parameters such as position command and speed command are created as data
tables by tool software Configurator PMX in advance.
● As parameters are set in advance, programs can be simplified.
● Four patterns of position control modes and five patterns of home return modes are
available.
● Dedicated instructions F380 to F385 are used for the control.
● Set positioning parameters and information on positioning tables can be exported as a setup
file of Configurator PMX and reused between multiple units and projects.
■
FP-X compatible instruction mode
● Positioning parameters such as position command and speed command are set as operands
of instructions.
● Dedicated instructions F171 to F175 and instructions F0 and F1 are used for the control.
● The system is similar to the pulse output function of the conventional FP-X.
1.3.2 Selection of Positioning Control Mode
● The positioning control mode is selected in the system register no. 407 by the tool software.
(Note 1) If the compatible mode setting is set to “FP-X mode”, "Table setting mode" cannot be selected.
1.3.3 Comparison of Two Control Modes
There are following differences between the table setting mode and FP-X compatible instruction
mode.
