Motion Control Instructions
Motion control instructions are used in the user program to execute motion controls for an NY-series
Controller. These instructions are defined as function blocks.
The motion control instructions of the MC Function Module are based on the technical specifications of
function blocks for PLCopen
There are two types of motion control instructions: PLCopen
are unique to the MC Function Module.
This section provides an overview of the PLCopen
instructions.
For details on motion control instructions, refer to the NY-series Industrial Panel PC / Industrial Box PC
Motion Control User's Manual (Cat. No. W559).
Refer to the NX-series Position Interface Units User's Manual (Cat. No. W524) for information on us-
ing the NX-series Position Interface Units.

PLCopen
standardizes motion control function blocks to define a program interface for the languages
specified in IEC 61131-3 (JIS B 3503).
Single-axis positioning, electronic cams, and multi-axes coordinated control are defined along with ba-
sic procedures for executing instructions.
By using PLCopen
hardware dependence.
Costs for training and support are also reduced.
