The functions of the Simple Motion module can be set by using module labels. The names of module labels can be changed
from an engineering tool.
Default module label
The names of the default module labels are defined with the following configuration.
■Module label of I/O signals
"Module name"_"[x]"."Label name"_"[ax]"
• "Module name": Indicates the character string of a module model name.
• "[x]": A number starting from 1 for identifying modules with the same module name
• "Label name": Unique label name of a module
• "[ax]": Indicates the axis No. corresponding to the module label. A numerical value from 0 to 15 is used for [ax] according to
the axes from 1 to 16.
■Module label of buffer memory areas
"Module name"_"[x]"."Data type"_"_D[ax]"."Label name"_"D"
• "Module name": Indicates the character string of a module model name.
• "[x]": A number starting from 1 for identifying modules with the same module name
• "Data type": Indicates the classification of a buffer memory area.
• "[ax]": Indicates the axis No. corresponding to the module label. A numerical value from 0 to 15 is used for [ax] according to
the axes from 1 to 16.
• "Label name": Unique label name of a module
• "D": Indicates whether the module label is for auto refresh or direct access. For direct access, "_D" is added after the label
name and to "[ax]". The following shows the differences between auto refresh and direct access.
Type
Description
Auto refresh
Reading/writing data from/to the module label is reflected to the Simple Motion module at auto
refresh. The execution time of a program can be shortened. To use auto refresh, "Refresh
Destination" must be set to "Module Label" in "Refresh settings" of "Module Parameter".
Direct access
Reading/writing data from/to the module label is reflected to the Simple Motion module immediately.
The execution time is longer than the one at auto refresh, but the responsiveness is high.
