• Select this to use manual pulsers.
• The use of a pulser operation setting code allows to specify the target axis (ch) where
the pulser will be used.
Set feedback pulse input in the case of connecting an encoder in order to monitor the
rotation of the motor.
• When feedback pulse input is selected, the positioning unit uses pulse input to
perform the feedback pulse count of its own axis, thus detecting the difference between
the instruction value and pulse input value.
(Automatic check function of movement amount)
• Set high-speed counter input to be used as general-purpose counter input.
High-speed counter input supports a variety of input types (i.e., two-phase input,
direction discrimination input, and individual input).
• The positioning unit stores the number of input pulses in the monitor area.
