Acceleration and
Deceleration Time Field
Positions for positioning actions are set using eight digits and may be be-
tween –99,999,999 and +99,999,999 pulses. Out of the eight digits, the left-
most four digits are held in one word and the rightmost eight digits are held in
another word. These words only hold the numeric value of the position; the
sign of the position is held in attribute 1 field. If the position field is zero, the
M code and dwell time are still valid.
In this field you designate the speed for the move to the designated position.
You can designate any of the 100 speeds(900-999) which you previously en-
tered as speeds. (For setting speeds, see Section 3-7). This field occupies
1/2 of a word. The range 00-99 designates speed addresses 900-999. A set-
ting of 12, for example, executes positioning at the speed registered at ad-
dress 912.
The M code (machine code) field occupies the other half of the fourth word.
You use this field to directly register an M code (00 to 99) for each positioning
action. The M code is a user-defined number that is passed to the PC for use
in ladder programming. You can use it, for example, to set various code num-
bers for various positions so that when the workpiece passes particular posi-
tions the PC will respond with appropriate actions. The M code is valid when
the positioning action has been completed.
In this field you designates a dwell time for the positioning action. You may
designate any of the 10 dwell times previously entered (addresses 450-459
for the X axis and 850-859 for the Y axis). For setting dwell times, see Sec-
tion 3-5. This field occupies 1/4 of a word. The range 0-9 designates dwell
time addresses 450-459 for the X axis. For example, a setting of 5 for an
X-axis positioning action executes positioning with the dwell time registered
at address 455.
In this field you designate the acceleration and deceleration time to the de-
sired position. You can designate any of the 10 times previously entered (ad-
dresses 460-469 for the X axis and 860-869). For setting speeds, see Sec-
tion 3-7. This field occupies 1/4 of a word. For example, a setting of 7 for an
X-axis positioning action executes positioning at the acceleration and decel-
eration times registered at address 467. The acceleration/deceleration time is
not used for circular arc interpolation; i.e., the designated speed is reached
immediately.
