• Circular interpolation including the axis which set the stroke limit as invalid cannot be executed.
• When the upper/lower limit value of the axis which set the stroke limit as valid are changed, perform the
home position return after that.
• When the stroke limit is set as valid in the incremental data system, perform the home position return after
power supply on.
• Do not use the high-speed oscillation in the axis that invalidates a stroke limit of control unit "degree".
• The unlimited length feed is possible by setting the stroke limit to invalid even the control unit is "other than
degree axis" (mm, inch, pulse). (Page 173 Stroke limit invalid setting)
Positioning control
Positioning control method in the control unit "degree" is shown below.
■Absolute data method (ABS instructions)
Positioning in a near direction to the specified address is performed based on the current value.
Ex.
Positioning is executed in a clockwise direction to travel from the current value of 315.00000 to 0.
Positioning is executed in a counter clockwise direction to travel from the current value of 0 to 315.00000.
315.00000 ° → 0 °
0 °
315.00000 °
• The positioning direction of absolute data method is set a clockwise/counter clockwise direction by the
setting method of stroke limit range, positioning in the shortest direction may not be possible.
(Example)
Travel from the current value 0 to 315.00000 must be clockwise positioning if the lower stroke limit value is
set to 0 and the upper limit value is set to 345.00000.
315.00000°
• Set the positioning address within the range of 0 to 360. Use the incremental data method for positioning
of one revolution or more.
■Incremental data method (INC instructions)
Positioning by the specified travel value to the specified direction. The travel direction is set by the sign of the travel value, as
follows:
• Positive travel value: Clockwise rotation
• Negative travel value: Counter clockwise rotation
Positioning of 360 or more can be executed in the incremental data method.
