POSITIONING CONTROL FUNCTION The positioning control of the output pulses with each positioning instruction and operate based on the positioning parameters (such as for speed and for operation flag). This chapter describes control patterns that are available for combinations of the positioning instructions and the positioning parameters.
OPR Control This section describes details of the OPR control. Mechanical OPR The DSZR/DDSZR instruction starts the OPR operation in the direction set by the OPR direction setting. (Page 64 OPR Direction) After the speed has reached the OPR speed, the operation will be performed at the specified OPR speed. Deceleration is started when the near-point dog signal is detected and the operation continues at creep speed.
High-speed OPR The positioning is performed for the zero point address established by the mechanical OPR. The OPR can be performed at high-speed without using the near-point signal and the zero signal. Set operands of instructions so that positioning address = zero position address , command speed = OPR speed in the 1- speed positioning (absolute address).
2-speed positioning The 1-speed positioning of table 1 (excluding the deceleration stop) is performed by the table operation instruction. (Page 26 1-speed positioning) After the target position is reached, the 1-speed positioning of table 2 is performed from acceleration/ deceleration. 2-speed positioning is performed when two 1-speed positionings are operated continuously by the continuous operation of the DRVTBL/DRVMUL instruction.
Multi-speed operation 1-speed positioning operation (excluding the deceleration stop) is continued several times by the table operation instruction. (Page 26 1-speed positioning) At the last table, the operation decelerates and stops in the point that the speed can be reduced. The multi-speed positioning is performed when two or more 1-speed positionings are operated continuously by the continuous operation of the DRVTBL/DRVMUL instruction.
Interrupt stop 1-speed positioning is performed by the table operation instruction. (Page 26 1-speed positioning) When the interruption input signal 1 detected during pulse output operation, the operation decelerates and stops. (Page 58 Interrupt Input Signal 1) Both relative address and absolute address can be used for the interrupt stop. Acceleration Deceleration time...
Precautions The pulse output is not stopped unless the interrupt input signal 1 is turned on. When using continuous operation of the table operation instruction, the interrupt 1-speed positioning can be used only when the previous table is set to Table Transition Variable Speed Operation. Interrupt 2-speed positioning The variable speed operation of table 1 is performed by the table operation instruction.
Variable speed operation Acceleration is started at the bias speed when pulses are output by the positioning instruction. After the speed has reached the specified speed, the operation will be performed in the specified speed. When the command speed is changed, the operation can change the speed to the specified speed.
Simple linear interpolation operation (2-axis simultaneous start) The work piece will travel to the target position at the specified vector speed (interpolation operation) by the table operation instruction. In this interpolation operation of two axes, the CPU module calculates the start timing based on the positioning address and the command speed set in the table.
Auxiliary Function This section describes auxiliary functions of the positioning. Dog search function If the forward rotation limit and the reverse rotation limit are used, the DOG search function can be used for OPR. (Page 35 Forward limit and reverse limit) The OPR operation depends on the OPR start position. Near-point Reverse rotation limit 1 Rear end...
Transfer operation will be started in the OPR direction at the OPR speed. (The workpiece will enter the near-point dog area again.) If the front end of the near-point dog is detected, the speed will be reduced to the creep speed. After detecting the rear end of the near-point dog, if the zero signal is detected for the specified number of times is detected, the operation will be stopped.
OPR zero signal count When the DSZR/DDSZR instruction is used, the OPR zero signal counts is counted after the zero signal count start timing. (Page 68 Zero Signal) When the number of the zero signals has reached specified number, pulse output is stopped. The setting range is from 0 to 32767.
Command speed change during positioning operation This function changes operation speed during positioning operation. • For positioning instructions, by specifying a word device as an operand that specifies the command speed (for the DSZR/ DDSZR instruction, the OPR speed and the creep speed) and changing the value, operation speed can be changed during operation.
Pulse decelerate and stop When the pulse decelerate and stop command is turned on during positioning operation, the positioning operation can be decelerated and stopped. (Page 59 Pulse decelerate and stop command) When positioning operation is stopped by the pulse decelerate and stop command, remaining distance operation can be performed with positioning instructions. (Page 39 Remaining distance operation) The following table lists the corresponding devices.
Remaining distance operation When pulse output is stopped by the pulse decelerate and stop command during positioning instruction operation and the remaining distance operation enabled is ON, the remaining distance operation ready status is acquired. (Page 62 Remaining distance operation, Page 38 Pulse decelerate and stop) When the pulse decelerate and stop command turns off, the remaining distance operation starts.
Precautions • Where the system starts the remaining distance operation after changing the positioning address under the relative address specification, positioning operation is performed with the current address at start of the positioning or table instruction as the basis. • After the interrupt input signal 1 is detected, the table operation instruction becomes unable to execute the remaining distance operation (Control system [6: Interrupted stop (relative address specification), [7: Interrupted stop (absolute address specification)].
POSITIONING PARAMETER This chapter explains the parameters for the positioning function and relevant devices. Set the parameters of the positioning using the high speed I/O parameter, operand, and special devices. For the parameters of the table operation, refer to Page 158 TABLE OPERATION. Setting Method The following list shows the setting methods for the positioning parameter.
Basic Setting The items set in basic setting correspond to the positioning parameters of each axis. In special devices corresponding to parameters, values set in the basic setting are stored as the initial values when the power of CPU module is STOP→RUN. When items occupying I/O are changed, the high speed I/O assignment parameters are also refreshed together.

How to Execute Multiple Tables The execution method for multiple tables of the DRVTBL and DRVMUL instructions includes stepping operation and continuous operation. This section explains how to execute each operation. Stepping operation In stepping operation, with the DRVTBL instruction, specified tables are executed one by one. Only the DRVTBL instruction can execute this operation.
Page 194
■Operations by control method • When a table with control method [0: No Positioning] is executed, all the tables are considered to be normally completed. Then, the complete flag turns on, and tables that follow the table with [0: No Positioning] are not executed. •...
Continuous operation In continuous operation, operation is performed successively without deceleration stop between tables. The specified positioning address that has been output is the start address of the next table. The positioning complete flag turns on when execution of all the specified tables is completed. Unlike stepping operation, the table shift command is not required.
Page 196
■Operation with table (operand) setting • Set the command speeds and positioning addresses of each table so that tables are switched once per 10 ms or less frequently (except conditional jumps). If tables are switched more frequently than the above, table shift processing cannot be completed in time and operation is decelerated to a stop and ends with an error.

Replacing PLSR/DPLSR instruction to DRVI/DDRVI instruction The PLSR/DPLSR (pulse output with acceleration and deceleration control) instruction of FX3 can be replaced to the DRVI/ DDRVI instruction. The PLSR/DPLSR instruction can set the duration of time for acceleration and deceleration. Setting the duration of time for acceleration or deceleration before executing the DRVI/DDRVI instruction enables the DRVI/DDRVI instruction to substitute the PLSR/DPLSR instruction.
