Glossary

A target position given in respect to the origin rather than in respect to the
present position.
A four-digit code which is output to a word in the IR area to identify the type
of alarm which has occurred.
A PC data area which is used for system flags and status information. Data is
retained in this area during a power failure.
Compensation for the amount of mechanical play, or 'looseness' present in
gears. Such play can create positioning inaccuracy when the direction of po-
sitioning changes.
A combination of several positioning actions or sequences. A bank begins
when START is executed for the initial positioning action and ends when a
position action with a "bank end" completion code has been executed.
A positioning action completion code that designates the positioning action
as the final one in a bank.
An acronym for binary-coded decimal. This is used to refer to decimal num-
bers encoded in binary.
A parameter for positioning actions that designates what is to happen when a
particular positioning action has been completed. The four possible comple-
tion codes are as follows: single, pause, continuous, bank end, and ex-
tended.
A positioning action completion code that causes the next positioning action
to be executed immediately upon completion of the current one.
Abbreviations for clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise (CCW). CW and
CCW are defined for a motor shaft in reference to a viewer facing the shaft
on the end of the motor from which the shaft extends from the motor for con-
nection.
Limits on the CW and CCW sides of the origin which can be internally set to
restrict Position Control Unit operation.
A memory storage area in the PC. Different types of memory blocks, with
differing functions, are stored in the various data areas of the PC. These
blocks of memory are built up from single units, or bits, which are grouped
into 16-bit words.
A PC data area in which general operating parameters, speeds, and parame-
ters for positioning actions are stored.
A parameter that specifies the period of time during which positioning will
stop before execution of the next positioning action following a positioning
action with a pause completion code.
