Operating Patterns
The following figure shows the operating pattern when the INTERPOLATE command is exe-
cuted.
Holding and Canceling Commands
The axis stops if there is no change in the target position each high-speed scan.
Bit 0 (Hold Command) and bit 1 (Cancel Command) in the OW09 setting parameter can-
not be used to stop the axis.
Change the motion command to stop an interpolation operation.
