1.1.1 Functions of Unit

 The positioning unit can perform positioning control when it is used in combination
with a stepping motor or servomotor equipped with a driver of pulse string input
type.

 Transistor output (open collector) type and line driver output type available
Two types are available―a line driver output type for high-speed control and a transistor
output type for a motor equipped with a driver that connects only to open collector output (e.g.,
a stepping motor). If either type is applicable to your application, the use of the unit with line
driver output is recommended.
 Setting in configuration menu
The dedicated software Configurator PM7 is available, which allows ease of creating a variety
of parameters and positioning tables required for positioning control.
Note) The Configurator PM7 will start by pressing [Set details] button in the I/O map of the
configuration menu of the FPWIN GR7.
 Interpolation control
The 2-axis linear interpolation, 2-axis circular interpolation, 3-axis linear interpolation, and 3-
axis spiral interpolation control can be performed.
 Synchronous control
The unit supports synchronous control using an electronic gear, electronic clutch, and
electronic cam. The unit can perform synchronous control with an actual or virtual axis as a
master axis.
