The functions of the Motion module can be set by using module labels.
Default module label
The names of the default module labels are defined with the following configuration.
■Module label of I/O signals
"Module name"_"[x]"."Label name"_"[ax]"
• "Module name": Indicates the character string of a module model name.
• "[x]": A number starting from 1 for identifying modules with the same module name
• "Label name": Unique label name of a module
• "[ax]": Indicates the axis No. corresponding to the module label. A numerical value from 0 to 15 is used for [ax] according to
the axes from 1 to 16.
■Module label of buffer memory areas
"Module name"_"[x]"."Data type"_"_D[ax]"."Label name"_"D"
• "Module name": Indicates the character string of a module model name.
• "[x]": A number starting from 1 for identifying modules with the same module name
• "Data type": Indicates the classification of a buffer memory area.
• "[ax]": Indicates the axis No. corresponding to the module label. A numerical value from 0 to 15 is used for [ax] according to
the axes from 1 to 16.
• "Label name": Unique label name of a module
• "D": Indicates whether the module label is for auto refresh or direct access. For direct access, "_D" is added after the label
name and in the "[ax]" part. The following shows the differences between auto refresh and direct access.

Module Label
Description
Reading/writing data from/to the module label is reflected to the Motion module at auto
refresh. The execution time of a program can be shortened. To use auto refresh, "Refresh
Destination" must be set to "Module Label" in "Refresh Setting" of "Module Parameter".
Reading/writing data from/to the module label is reflected to the Motion module immediately.
The execution time is longer than the one at auto refresh, however, the responsiveness
becomes high.
