I/O Signal List
Signal type Bit
Signal
name
Description
15 MON
SIO link communication will start when this signal is turned ON, and
stop when it is turned OFF.
Do not turn the MON signal ON when CFG15 to 0 (linked axis
connection) are all OFF.
Also, do not turn all of CFG15 to 0 OFF when the MON signal is ON.
If CFG15 to 0 are all turned OFF and the MON signal turned ON, the
Gateway Unit will generate a SIO link error and the LED (T.ER) on the
front face of the unit will illuminate.
14-8 ---
These bits cannot be used.
Always set them to OFF (0).
7 NPS4
6 NPS3
5 NPS2
4 NPS1
3 NPS0
These bits are used in the command specification mode.
In any other mode, always set them to OFF (0).
Set the number of axes (0 to 16) used via positioner operation, using
a five-bit binary value. *1
2 PPS2
1 PPS1
Control
signal 0
0 PPS0
These bits are used in the command specification mode.
In any other mode, always set them to OFF (0).
Set the I/O pattern (pattern 0 to 5) of each axis to be used via
positioner operation, using a three-bit binary value. *2

0 CFG0 0
Specify the axis number corresponding to
each axis to be linked.
The axis will be connected when the signal is
turned ON (1), and disconnected when it is
turned OFF (0).
ON/OFF switching is permitted even when the
MON signal is ON.
(Cautions)
Do not turn ON the axis number signal
corresponding to any axis not physically
connected.
Do not turn ON any axis number signal
other than the specifiable number selected
by the mode setting switch.
If either of the above conditions is breached, a
SIO link error will occur.
*1 If the mode setting switch (SW1) is set to the command specification mode and the settings of NPS0 to
NPS4 indicate 0, all axes will become simple direct operation axes.
*2 Only one I/O pattern of 0 to 4 can be used for positioner operation axes.
