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.

Incremental Method and Absolute Method
There are two target position setting methods for positioning operation 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
To go from Odawara (current position) to Atami (target position), set the distance (+20.7 km)
from Odawara to Atami.
B - 96
Incremental method:
Uses a relative address to specify the target position.
Absolute method:
Uses an absolute address to specify the target position.
