4.2  Motion Command Details
4.2.2  EX_POSING (External Positioning)
4-14
Operating Patterns
The following figure shows the operating pattern when the EX_POSING command is executed.
Holding
• To hold an axis in place during motion and resume operation at a later time, set bit 0 (Hold 
Command) in the OW09 setting parameter to 1 (Hold Command ON).
When bit 0 in OW09 is set to 1, the axis will decelerate to a stop.
The motor will always decelerate to a stop, regardless of the setting of bits 8 to F (Stop Mode 
Selection) in the OW
02 setting parameter.
When the axis completely decelerates to a stop, bit 1 (Command Hold Completed) in the 
IW09 monitor parameter will change to 1 (Completed).
• To release the hold, set bit 0 (Hold Command) in OW09 to 0 (Hold Command OFF).
This clears the command hold status and the remaining portion of the positioning operation is 
restarted.
Canceling
• To stop an axis during motion and cancel the remaining motion, set bit 1 (Cancel Command) 
in the OW09 setting parameter to 1 (Cancel Command ON).
When bit 1 in OW09 is set to 1, the axis will decelerate to a stop.
The deceleration operation depends on the setting of bits 8 to F (Stop Mode Selection) in the 
OW02 setting parameter.
When the axis completely decelerates to a stop, the remaining motion will be canceled and 
bit 1 (Positioning Completed) in the IW0C monitor parameter will change to 1 (Within 
positioning completed range).
• The same operation as the Cancel Command operation will be performed if the motion com-
mand code is changed during axis motion.
