Start by the external command signal (DI)
When starting positioning control by inputting the external command signal (DI), the start command can be directly input into
the Simple Motion module. This allows the variation time equivalent to one scan time of the CPU module to be eliminated.
This is an effective procedure when operation is to be started as quickly as possible with the start command or when the
starting variation time is to be suppressed.
■Start method
Set "[Pr.42] External command function selection" in advance to enable "[Cd.8] External command valid" by a program. Then,
turn ON the external command signal (DI).
