3.8 I/O Signals for PIO Pattern 2 [16 Points] (Setting by Zone Boundary
Parameters)
Caution The factory setting is “8 points,” so set parameter No. 25 to “2.”
The pause signal can be disabled in parameter No. 15.
(Note) *STP and *ALM are always ON.
3.8.1 Explanation of I/O Signals
The following explains the signals used in the “8 points” and “16 points” patterns.

Function overview
Start CSTR Movement of the actuator starts at the rise edge of this signal.
Command position
number
PC1
PC2
PC4
PC8
This signal is used to input a position number that specifies movement.
Be sure to set a command position number by 6 ms before the start signal
(CSTR) is turned ON.
Input
*Pause *S
TP ON: The actuator can be moved, OFF: The actuator decelerates to a stop
Position complete PEND
This signal turns ON when the actuator has moved close enough to the
target position and entered the in-position band.
Used to determine if positioning has completed.
Home return
completion
HEND
This signal turns OFF when the power is input, and turns ON when home
return completes.
Zone ZONE
This signal is output if the current actuator position is within the range set
by the parameter upon completion of home return.
Used as a limit switch for an intermediate point or a simple ruler for push &
hold operation.
Output
*Alarm *ALM
This signal remains ON while the controller is operating properly, and turns
OFF when an alarm generates.
(Note) The signal remains ON while the motor drive power is cut off.
