Built-in Positioning Functions

1-Speed Positioning - DRVI/DRVA Instruction
The built-in positioning function uses the drive to increment (DRVI) instruction or the drive to absolute (DRVA)
instruction to perform 1-speed positioning. Note that these two instructions use different target position setting
methods.
Instruction
Drive to Increment (DRVI) instruction
Drive to Absolute (DRVA) instrument
For important items common to all of the positioning instructions, refer to Section 4.7.

Incremental Method and Absolute Method
There are two target position setting methods for positioning operations as described below:
1. Incremental method (relative address setting method)
While regarding the current position as the start point, specify the transfer direction and the transfer distance
(relative address) to determine the target position.
For example:
To Ueno
Tokyo
To go from Odawara (current position) to Atami (target position), set the distance (+20.7 km)
from Odawara to Atami.
2. Absolute method (absolute address setting method)
Specify the distance (absolute address) from the origin to the target position. In this case, any position can be
the start point (current position).
For example:
To Ueno
Absolute address
To go from Odawara (current position) to Atami (target position), set the distance (+104.6 km)
from Tokyo (origin) to Atami.
