8.1 Basic Operation

Type of perations
The automatic operation is an operation mode to be perform a position control. For the position control,
there are a single axis control and an interpolation control that starts and stops multiple axes
simultaneously.
For the operations of the position control, there are the E point control that uses the positioning data of 1
table, the P point control and C point control that use multiple tables for the single axis control or
interpolation control. Each operaton is as mentioned below, and the acceleration time and deceleration
time can be set individually. For the P point control and C point control, the E point should be set as the
last table. Also, in the P point control and C point control, the operation done flag turns on after the last
table was executed.
The J point control to perform a speed control is also available, besides the P point, C point and E point
controls. The J point control is performed at the target speed from the beginning of the operation until the
J point positioning start contact turns on, and once the contact turns on, the next position control will be
started. In the J point control, the operation done flag turns on after the last table was executed, note that
the J point control can be used only for a single axis.
Operation flow of single axis control Operation flow of interpolation control
The procedures to set the positioning data and to start the position control are the same for the E point
control, P point control and C point control. The operation of each cotntrol is determined according to the
contents of the positioning data to be set.
