6. Address Configuration of Gateway Unit
As explained in 1.4, “Features of Gateway Unit,” the connected controller(s) can be operated in three main
modes.
The slave address configuration is different in each of these modes.
6.1 Position-number Specification Mode
In this mode, the actuator is operated by specifying position numbers in the position table. Up to 16 axes
can be controlled. The position table must be set for each axis using the PC software or teaching pendant.
Basically 64 positions from Nos. 0 to 63 can be specified. However, the number of available points may be
limited depending on the PIO pattern selected for each axis (using the PIO pattern selection parameter).
(Refer to the list in 1.4.2.)
The key control functions available in this mode are listed below.

number limitation applicable to each controller. Normally, a maximum of 64 positions can be
specified.
