When using this servo in the indexer method, set [Pr. PA01] to "_ _ _ 8" (Positioning mode (indexer
method)). For the indexer method, the servo can be used by merely changing the basic setting parameters
([Pr. PA _ _ ]) and positioning control parameters ([Pr. PT _ _ ]) mainly.
As necessary, set other parameters.
The following table shows [Pr. PA _ _ ] and [Pr. PT _ _ ] settings required for the indexer method.
