Program Table Operation
With program table operation, you can register (program) positioning operation patterns in a
table in advance and then use commands from the host controller to specify the operation pat-
terns to perform operation.
If you use program table operation, you do not need motion control programming in the host
controller.
This section describes the types of operation that are possible, program table details, and Sig-
maWin+ operating procedures. It also provides examples of program table operation.
7.3.1
Type s of O p era t ion
Two types of program table operation are provided: positioning operation and pressing opera-
tion.
You can specify which type of operation to perform when you edit the program table from the
SigmaWin+.
If you select the Positioning Option on the Pressing Torque Limit Dialog Box, positioning oper-
ation will be performed. If you select the Pressing Option, pressing operation will be per-
formed. The default setting is for positioning operation. Refer to the following section for the
SigmaWin+ procedures.
7.3.6 SigmaWin+ Procedures on page 7-21
Both types of operation are described in the rest of this section.
Positioning Operation
For positioning operation, the target positions are specified as the target positions (POS) in the
program table. The motor is moved to the current target position.
Positioning operation is illustrated conceptually in the following figure.
This section describes program table operation using the item names and symbols that are regis-
tered in the program table. Refer to the following section for detailed information on the names
and symbols.
