Introduction to the INDEXER Module
The INDEXER Module is a single-axis positioning device that is equipped with a program table
operation function. The INDEXER Module is mounted to the side of the SERVOPACK.
The INDEXER Module has two reference methods: digital I/O and serial commands. These
command methods are described in the following sections.
1.2.1
Digital I/O
Digital I/O is used with a program table (mode 0) or a jog speed table (mode 1). You can use a
program table (mode 0) to execute the program steps that you select with I/O signal patterns
(binary format). If the jog speed table (mode 1) is being used, the jog speed selected with the
input signal pattern (binary format) can be executed.
• Program Table
• An INDEXER Module with a firmware version of 3 or higher is required to use the INDEXER
Module with a Σ-7-Series SERVOPACK.
• An INDEXER Module can be attached only to a Command Option Attachable-type SERVO-
PACK.
