2.1.1 Functions of the Unit
■
Position control is available using Stepping motor or Servo motor.
● Positioning can be controlled through the combination of a servo motor and a stepping motor
with a driver using the pulse train input method.
● The unit is available in two types; one is the line driver output type that can handle the high-
speed control, and the other is the transistor output type that can support the driver for the
open collector type such as a stepping motor.
■
Independent control is possible for 4 axes.
● The control is internally carried out independently for each axis so that highly accurate
positioning is possible even with multiple axes.
● As the simultaneous startup can be performed for multiple axes, the linear interpolation
control using user programs is also possible.
■
Quick start is possible.
● The time until the pulse output starts can be selected from 0.001 ms, 0.005 ms or 0.02 ms. It
supports high-speed repeat operation.
■
Various position controls are achievable using simple program.
● Automatic acceleration / deceleration control is performable only by providing a startup
speed, target speed, acceleration / deceleration and command position as data.
