6 Motion Control Programming
6-1

Introduction

The NY-series Controller can perform both sequence control and motion control.
Write motion control instructions into the user program to perform motion control with EtherCAT slave
Servo Drives, NX-series Position Interface Units, and other devices.
Programs that contain motion control instructions are called motion control programs.
You must assign Axis Variables to EtherCAT slave Servo Drives and NX-series Position Interface Units.
If you do not assign Axis Variables, assign device variables in the same way as for a general-purpose
slave. Motion control instructions can be used in the primary periodic task, in a priority-5 periodic task,
and in a priority-16 periodic task.
Additional Information
You can assign device variables to the I/O ports of slaves and Units that are assigned to the Axis
Variables.
