FUNCTION LIST
There are restrictions in the function that can be used by the software of the Simple Motion board and the version of EM
Software Development Kit. Refer to the following for details.

Control Functions
The Simple Motion board has several functions. Refer to the following for details on each function.
Simple Motion Board User's Manual (Application)
In this manual, the Simple Motion board functions are categorized and explained as follows.
Main functions
Home position return control
"Home position return control" is a function that established the start point for carrying out positioning control (Machine home
position return), and carries out positioning toward that start point (Fast home position return). This is used to return a
workpiece, located at a position other than the home position when the power is turned ON or after positioning stop, to the
home position. The "home position return control" is pre-registered in the Simple Motion board as the "Positioning start data
No. 9001 (Machine home position return)", and "Positioning start data No. 9002 (Fast home position return)".
Major positioning control
This control is carried out using the "Positioning data" stored in the Simple Motion board. Positioning control, such as position
control and speed control, is executed by setting the required items in this "positioning data" and starting that positioning data.
An "operation pattern" can be set in this "positioning data", and with this whether to carry out control with continuous
positioning data (ex.: positioning data No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, etc.) can be set.
High-level positioning control
This control executes the "positioning data" stored in the Simple Motion board using the "block start data". The following types
of applied positioning control can be carried out.
• Random blocks, handling several continuing positioning data items as "blocks", can be executed in the designated order.
• "Condition judgment" can be added to position control and speed control.
• The operation of the positioning data that is set for multiple axes can be started simultaneously. (Command is output
simultaneously to multiple servo amplifiers.)
• The designated positioning data can be executed repeatedly,
etc.
Manual control
The Simple Motion board executes the random positioning operation by inputting a signal into the Simple Motion board from
an external device.
Use this manual control to move the workpiece to a random position (JOG operation), and to finely adjust the positioning
(inching operation, manual pulse generator operation), etc.
Expansion control
The following controls other than the positioning control can be executed.
• Speed control and torque control not including position loop for the command to servo amplifier (Speed-torque control).
• Synchronous control with gear, shaft, change gear and cam not by mechanical, but by software use "advanced
synchronous control parameter", and is synchronized with input axis (Advanced synchronous control).
• Direct control that controls the servo amplifier based on the arbitrary position command data written to the buffer memory
(Direct control).
