Automatic Operation (Positioning Control)

7.1 Basic Operation

7.1.1 Positioning Control Patterns

 Type of operations
The automatic operation is an operation mode to perform positioning control. A single axis
control and an interpolation control that starts and stops multiple axes simultaneously are
available for positioning control.
End point (E-point) control, which uses the positioning data of a single table, and pass point
(P-point) control and continuous point (C-point) control, both of which use multiple tables, are
available for single axis control and interpolation control. These types of control are described
below, and acceleration time and deceleration time can be set individually. For P-point control
and C-point control, an E-point should be set as the last table. In P-point control and C-point
control, the operation done flag turns ON after the last table is executed.
JOG positioning (J-point) control (i.e., speed control) is available in addition to P-point control,
C-point control, and E-point control.
J-point control operates until the start contact of J-point positioning turns ON after the
operation of the positioning unit starts, and the next positioning control will start when the start
contact of J-point positioning turns ON.
In J-point control, the operation done flag turns ON after the last table is executed.
J-point control can be used for a single axis only.
