The amounts of data that can be set for memory operation are shown in the
following table:
Type of data
Positioning sequences, speeds, positions
Acceleration times, deceleration times
Dwell times
Zones
These data items are transferred to the PCU for use. Once they have been
transferred to the PCU they can be saved to the PCU's flash memory, so there
is no need for battery maintenance.
There is a limit to the service life of the flash memory. A total of up to 100,000
data saving operations can be performed.
The PCU is compatible with the Windows-based NC Support Tool (CX-Posi-
tion) that enables setting of the PCUs in a Windows environment. Using the
CS-series single-port multi-access function, creation and transfer of parame-
ters and data for PCUs as well as operation monitoring are possible from the
same environment as the software used for CPU Unit ladder programming
(CX-Programmer).
Function blocks can be used to simplify operation of the PCU in programming
complicated diagrams. There are function blocks for origin searches, ABSO-
LUTE MOVEMENT commands, and RELATIVE MOVEMENT commands.
Refer to the following documents for details on function blocks.

The PCU receives control signals (CW limit, CCW limit, origin, origin proxim-
ity, emergency stop, and external interrupt input signals) from devices and a
control panel, and outputs pulse trains to stepping motor drivers and Servo
Drives.
