7.4.3 Instructions and system variables 
Use the following instructions to perform various positioning tasks: 
Type of control  Instruction  Description 
Trapezoidal control  F171_PulseOutput_Trapezoidal 
Provides trapezoidal (table-shaped) control for 
automatically obtaining pulse outputs. The initial 
speed, target speed, acceleration/deceleration time, 
and target value need to be specified. 
Home return 
F171_PulseOutput_Home  Permits automatic home return operation. 
JOG operation 
F172_PulseOutput_Jog 
Causes pulses to be output as long as the execution 
condition is TRUE. A target value can also be set, so 
that pulse output stops when the target value is 
matched. 
Data table control  F174_PulseOutput_DataTable 
Permits positioning control in accordance with the 
specified parameters. 
Linear interpolation 
control 
F175_PulseOutput_Linear 
Causes pulses to be output using linear interpolation 
control. Composite speed, acceleration/deceleration 
time, and target value need to be specified. 
F176_PulseOutput_Center 
Causes pulses to be output using circular interpolation 
control. The center position needs to be specified. 
Circular interpolation 
control 
F176_PulseOutput_Pass 
Causes pulses to be output using circular interpolation 
control. The pass position needs to be specified. 
 
NOTE
 
When using the pulse output instructions F171_PulseOutput_Trapezoidal, 
F171_PulseOutput_Home, F172_PulseOutput_Jog, F174_PulseOutput_DataTable, 
F175_PulseOutput_Linear, specify an initial frequency of 30kHz or less. 
Otherwise, the first pulse may be lost. 
Counter and pulse output settings as well as elapsed values are stored in special data 
registers. The pulse output status is stored in special internal relays. To access special data
