Motion Control Program Commands and Instructions
4-57
 Monitor Parameters
OW02
Bit 8 to F
Stop Mode Selection
Select the stop method to use when a command is canceled.
0: Stop according to the Linear Deceleration Rate/Deceleration 
Time Constant parameter 
1: Stop immediately
OW
03 Function Settings 1 Select the speed unit, acceleration/deceleration unit, and filter type.
OW
08 Motion Commands
The STEP operation is started when this parameter is set to 8 
(STEP).
Set this parameter to 0 (NOP) during a STEP operation to cancel the 
STEP operation.
OW
09 
Bit 0
Hold Command
When this bit is set to 1 (ON) during a STEP operation, the axis will 
decelerate to a stop.
The STEP operation is resumed if this bit is set to 0 (OFF) when the 
axis is being held.
OW
09 
Bit 1
Cancel Command
If this bit is set to 1 (ON) during positioning, the axis will decelerate to 
a stop.
If this bit is set to 0 (OFF) after decelerating to a stop, the operation 
will depend on the setting of bit 5 in OW09.
OW
09 
Bit 2
Travel Direction for 
JOG/STEP
Set the travel direction for the STEP operation.
0: Forward, 1: Reverse
OL
10
Speed Reference Set-
ting
Specify the positioning speed. This parameter can be changed 
during operation.
The unit depends on the set value of bits 0 to 3 in OW03.
OW
12 Speed Limit
Set the upper speed limit as a percentage of the rated speed. This 
value is an absolute value. It is used in both the forward and reverse 
directions.
OL
14 Torque/Force Limit Set the torque limit for interpolation positioning.
OW
18 Override
This parameter allows the positioning speed to be changed without 
changing the value of OL10.
Set the value as a percentage of the Speed Reference Setting. This 
parameter can be changed during operation.
Setting range: 0 to 32,767 (0% to 327.67%)
Setting unit: 1 = 0.01%
Example: Setting for 50% = 5,000
OL
1E
Positioning Completion 
Width
Set this parameter to the value for which bit 1 in IW0C will 
change to 1 (Within positioning completed range).
OL
20
NEAR Signal Output 
Width
Set this parameter to the value for which bit 3 in IW0C will 
change to 1 (Within near position range). Bit 3 changes to 1 when 
the absolute value of the difference between the reference position 
and the feedback position is within the range that is specified here.
OL
36
Linear Acceleration 
Rate/Acceleration Time 
Constant
Set the positioning acceleration rate with the acceleration rate or the 
acceleration time.
OL
38
Linear Deceleration 
Rate/Deceleration Time 
Constant
Set the positioning deceleration rate with the deceleration rate or the 
deceleration time.
OW
3A Filter Time Constant
Set the acceleration/deceleration filter time constant. Exponential 
acceleration/deceleration or a moving average filter can be selected 
in bits 8 to B in OW03.
This setting can be changed only when distribution has been com-
pleted (i.e., when bit 0 in IW0C is 1).
OL
44 STEP Travel Distance Set the travel distance for the STEP operation.
