Program Table Operation
With program table operation, you can register (program) positioning patterns in a table in
advance and then use commands from the host controller to specify the operation patterns 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
Typ e s o f Op e ra t io n
Two types of program table operation are provided: positioning and registration.
Both types of operation are described in the rest of this section.
Positioning
For positioning, the target positions are specified as the target positions (POS) in the program
table. The motor is moved to the current target position.
Positioning is illustrated conceptually in the following figure.
This section describes program table operation using the item names and symbols that are
registered in the program table. Refer to the following section for detailed information on the
names and symbols.
