Types of Programs
Ladder programs and motion programs are used to implement motion control. This section
describes each type of program.
Ladder Programs
Ladder programming is a programming language for executing position control, phase control,
torque control, and speed control. However, programming becomes complex if you try to use
ladder programs for path control.
Motion Programs
Motion programming is a programming language for executing position control. Motion pro-
grams allow you to create programs in a simple and easy-to-understand text format.
