Difference in how it is specified
● Increment (relative value control)
• Specify the relative distance from the current position. Specify a positive value to control in
the positive direction.
• Use the "Distance" input of the "PG_MoveRelative" function block.
● Absolute (absolute value control)
• Specify the target position regardless of the current position. Always specify the target
position as the absolute position from the home position.
• Use the "Position" input of the "PG_MoveAbsolute" function block.

1. Specify "Distance = 10000" and execute "PG_MoveRelative".
2. When the above operation is completed, specify "Distance = -6000" and execute
"PG_MoveRelative".
● Absolute (absolute value control)
1. Specify "Position = 30000" and execute "PG_MoveAbsolute".
