(3) Operation by position number specification
The following explains positioner operation in the position number specification mode or command
specification mode.
 Operation
Enter position data in the controller’s position table beforehand, and specify each desired position
number using the applicable link resister in the PLC.
Push-motion operation, speed change during movement, pitch feed by relative coordinate
specification and other operations are the same as the corresponding operations performed in the
PIO (I/O cable) mode. Refer to the operation manuals for the PCON, ACON, SCON and ERC2.
[1] Set the position number in the command position number register.
[2] Next, confirm that the position complete (PEND) signal is “1” (ON) and then turn the start
command (CSTR) signal “1” (ON).
[3] PEND turns “0” (OFF) tdpf after CSTR has turned “1” (ON).
[4] Turn CSTR “0” (OFF) after confirming that PEND has turned “0” (OFF).
[5] MOVE turns “1” (ON) simultaneously as PEND turns “0” (OFF) or within 1 Mt thereafter.
[6] When the remaining travel falls within the specified positioning band (INP), PEND turns “1”
(ON) if CSTR is “0” (OFF), after which the completed position number is output.
Accordingly, when reading the completed position number after completion of positioning,
check the position number after waiting for an appropriate time after PEND has turned “1”
(ON) (= time needed to complete the remaining travel).
Caution
• When the start (CSTR) signal turns “1” (ON), the position complete (PEND) signal turns “0” (OFF)
and moving (MOVE) signal turns “1” (ON).
Be sure to turn the CSTR signal OFF after conforming that PEND has turned OFF while the CSTR
signal is still ON.
If CSTR remains ON, PEND will not turn ON after completion of movement
, as shown below.
• If another movement command specifying the same position is issued, the position complete
output will turn OFF, but the moving output will not turn ON.
• The moment the position complete output turns ON while the moving output is ON, the moving
output turns OFF even when the actuator is moving. Accordingly, increasing the positioning band
among position data may result in a situation where the actuator is still moving after the moving
output has turned OFF simultaneously as the turning ON of the position complete output.
• When the actuator reaches a soft limit after continuous incremental moves, the position complete
signal is output.
