Precautions in Operation

1. Make sure to follow the usage condition, environment and specification range of the product.
Not doing so may cause a drop of performance or malfunction of the product.
2. Use the following teaching tools.
Use the PC software and the teaching pendant stated in the next clause as applicable for this controller. [Refer to 1.1.2 Teaching Tool.]
3. Backup the data to secure for breakdown.
A non-volatile memory is used as the backup memory for this controller. All the registered position data and parameters are written into this memory and backed-up at the same time. Therefore, you will not usually lose the data even if the power is shut down. However, make sure to save the latest data so a quick recovery action can be taken in case when the controller is broken and needs to be replaced with another one.
How to Save Data (1) Save the data to CD-R or hard disk with using the PC software (2) Hard-copy the information of position tables and parameters on paper
4. Set the operation patterns.
This controller processes 7 types of control logics (including 6 types of PIO patterns and pulse train control) to meet various ways of usage, and changes the role of each PIO signal following the selected control logic.
1) In PIO specification, there are 6 types of PIO patterns available to choose from.
2) For Pulse Train specification, not only the pulse train control mode, but also 6 types of PIO patterns are available.
The setup can be performed by using the operation mode change switch or parameter No.25 “PIO pattern selection” on the front panel. [Refer to Chapter 3 Operation and Chapter 7 I/O Parameter.] The PIO pattern is set to “0” (Standard Type) when the unit is delivered. Set the operation pattern setting to the logic that suits to your use after the power is turned on.
5. Clock Setting in Calendar Function
There may be a case that “Error Code 069 Real Time Clock Vibration Stop Detect” is issued at the first time to turn the power on after the product is delivered. In the case this happens, set the current time with a teaching tool. If the battery is fully charged, the clock data is retained for approximately 10 days after the power is turned off. Even though the time setting is conducted before the product is shipped out, the battery is not fully charged. Therefore, there may be a case that the clock data is lost even with fewer days than described above passed since the product is shipped out.
6. In pulse train control mode, actuator operation is unavailable through serial communication.
In the pulse train control mode, the actuator operation is unavailable through serial communication. However, it is possible to monitor the current status.
Warning : Please note it is very risky when the control sequence and PIO pattern setting do not
match to each other. It may not only cause the normal operation disabled, but also may cause an unexpected operation.
POWER CON
PCON-CA/CFA
9
7. Attempt not to exceed the actuator specifications in the pulse train control mode.
In the pulse train control, the acceleration/deceleration speed is also controlled by the change of the command pulse frequency from the host controller. Do not have an operation exceeding the maximum acceleration/deceleration rate of the actuator. The use of the actuator with excessive acceleration/deceleration rate may cause a malfunction.
8. Actuator would not operate without servo-on and pause signals.
(1) Servo ON Signal (SON)
Servo ON signal (SON) is selectable from “Enable” or “Disable” by using a parameter. It is settable by parameter No.21 “selection of servo-on signal disable”. [Refer to Chapter 7 I/O Parameter.] If it is set to “Enable”, the actuator would not operate unless turning this signal on. If parameter No.21 is set to “1”, SON requirement is disabled. If it is set to “Disable”, the servo becomes on and the actuator operation becomes enabled as soon as the power supply to the controller is turned on and the emergency stop signal is cancelled. This parameter is set to “0” (Enable) at delivery. Have the setting that suits the desired control logic.
(2) Pause Signal (*STP)
The input signal of the pause signal (*STP) is always on considering the safety. Therefore, in general, the actuator would not operate if this signal is not on. It is available to make this signal to “Disable”, if this signal is undesirable. It is settable by parameter No.15 “Pause input disable”. [Refer to Chapter 7 I/O Parameter.] If parameter No.15 is set to “1” (Disable), the actuator can operate even if this signal is not on. This parameter is set to “0” (Enable) at delivery.
9. Note that there are some frictions and/or torsions in through-hole of rotary actuator when it is used.
When using rotary actuator with a through hole in the center of the revolution and using the hole to put cables through, have a treatment to prevent wear from rubbing or wire break due to the cables getting twisted. Take particular note on actuators of 360-degree specification because they can be rotated infinitely in a single direction.
POWER CON
PCON-CA/CFA
10
10. Limitations on operation of rotary actuator in index mode
Rotary actuators of 360-degree specification can select the normal mode for finite rotations or the index mode enabling multi-rotation control by using parameter No.79 “Rotational axis mode selection”. [Refer to Chapter 7 I/O Parameter.] The following limitations are applied to the index mode:
1) Index Mode cannot be selected in Pulse Train Control Mode.
2) In the JOG or Inching Operation using a teaching tool such as PC software or using PIO
signal, the range of 1 time of command is 360q at maximum for JOG while 1q at maximum for Inching.
3) Pressing is unavailable. The pressing torque can only be set to 0.
4) Do not issue positioning command around 0qrepeatedly during movement near 0q. Failure
to follow this may cause the actuator to rotate in the direction reverse to the specified rotation direction or operate indefinitely.
5) Software stroke limit is invalid in the index mode.
11. Transference of PIO Signal between Controllers
Please note the following when conducting transference of PIO signal between controllers. To certainly transfer the signal between controllers with different scan time, it is necessary to have longer scan time than the one longer than the other controller. To ensure to end the process safely, it is recommended to have the timer setting more than twice as long as the longer scan time at least.
Ɣ Operation Image

Also, if one tries to read the signal that is being re-written by the other, the signal may be read wrongly. Make sure to read the signal after the rewriting is complete. (It is recommended to have more than 2 scan periods to wait.) Make sure not to have the output side to change the output until the other side completes the reading. Also, a setting is made on the input area not to receive the signal less than a certain time to prevent a wrong reading of noise. This duration also needs to be considered.
This controller
(scan time 1msec)
PLC
(e.g. scan time is 20msec)
Output Process
Input Process
As shown in the diagram, the input and output timings of two devices that have different scan time do not match, of course, when transferring a signal. There is no guarantee that PLC would read the signal as soon as this controller signal turns on. In such a case, make the setting to read the signal after a certain time that is longer than the longer scan time to ensure the reading process to succeed on the PLC side. It is the same in the case this controller side reads the signal. In such a case, it is recommended to ensure 2 to 4 times of the scan time for the timer setting margin. It is risky to have the setting below the scan time since the timer is also processed in the scan process. In the diagram, PLC can only read the input once in 20msec even though this controller output once in 1msec. Because PLC only conducts output process once in 20msec, this controller identifies the same output status for that while.
POWER CON
PCON-CA/CFA
11
12. PLC Timer Setting
Do not have the PLC timer setting to be done with the minimum setting. Setting to “1” for 100msec timer turns ON at the timing from 0 to 100msec while 10msec timer from 0 to 10msec for some PLC. Therefore, the same process as when the timer is not set is held and may cause a failure such as the actuator cannot get positioned to the indicated position number in Positioner Mode. Set “2” as the minimum value for the setting of 10msec timer and when setting to 100msec, use 10msec timer and set to “10”.

7) Axis Number Setting Switch It is the switch to set the axis numbers when having an operation of multiple axes by the serial communication, or when having the gateway operation. Using the SIO converter allows multiple axes to be controlled on a teaching tool without connection/disconnection of the connection cable connector. The SIO converter can specify up to 16 axes with hexadecimal numbers 0 to F. The setting of the switch is read at power-on of the controller. Changing the setting after the power-on is invalid.
Caution : Note duplicate axis number setting, which causes a communication error
(alarm code 30C: no connection axis error) to occur and disables normal communication.
8) Operation Mode Setting Switch (MANU/AUTO) This switch is used for interlock so that a moving command from PIO (PLC) and a command from the teaching tool may not be issued at a time.
AUTO… Allows auto operation by PIO signals. The teaching tool can only operate the
monitor.
MANU…Allows the teaching tool to operate the controller.

2.3.4 Connection of Pulse Train Signal
Pulse train is input to PIO connector. Insert the wires to the indicated pin numbers. [Refer to 2.2.3 [4] Circuits for Pulse Train Control] If the output pulse of the host controller is open collector type, use the following pulse converter.
Ɣ Pulse converter : AK-04
(to be purchased separately)
It converts the command pulse of the open collector type to the differential type.
Caution
1) Pay attention not to insert wrongly because it is the same e-CON connector as input and output. Putting the power on with the insertion being wrong will burn AK-04.
2) Use the pulse converter in the ambient temperature range between 0qC and 40qC.
3) The temperature increase of about 30qC occurs during operation. Accordingly, neither install several pulse converters in close contact nor install them within a duct. Do not install the pulse converter near other heating devices.
4) If more than one pulse converters are installed, set a pulse converter apart from another by 10mm or more.
5) Make the wiring between the host controller (PLC, etc.) and AK-04 as short as possible. Long wires make it easy to pick up noise. Also make the wiring between AK-04 to PCON-CA/CFA as short as possible. Place AK-04 close to the host controller.
A recommended installation sample is shown in the figure below.
• Make the cable length between the host controller and pulse converter as short as possible.
Wiring length : 50mm or shorter recommended
Host Controller
• Keep pulse converters separated for 10mm or more from each other.

For the operation, refer to the instruction manual of each module. [Refer to 1.1.3 Instruction manuals related to this product, which are contained in the instruction manual (CD/DVD).]
Caution: If the controller is connected with a teaching tool, set the operation mode
setting switch to MANU. If the teaching pendant is removed with the power supply being on, the condition will become the transient emergency stop and the operated actuator will stop. Do not disconnect the teaching pendant during the operation.

Chapter 3 Operation

3.1 Basic Operation

3.1.1 Basic Operation Methods
There are two types, Positioner Mode and Pulse Train Control Mode, for the operation. Select the suitable one considering the system function. There are various types of actuators including slider, rod, rotary and gripper types. The same operation control method is applicable unless particular descriptions are contained in this manual.
(1) Positioner Mode
1) Set target positions (coordinate values), velocities, accelerations, and decelerations by the required number of positioning points in the position table by using a teaching tool such as PC software.
2) Enter the binary data of position numbers subject to positioning on the PLC and turn ON the start signal.
3) The actuator is placed at the proper coordinate value according to the positioning information in the specified position number.
4) If the positioning is completed, the binary data of the position number is output. The completion signal is also output.
The above procedure describes the basic operation method in the positioner mode.

(2) Pulse Train Control Mode
1) Set the pulse train format and the electric gear ratio (the distance of actuator movement in mm against 1 pulse) to the parameters in the controller with using a teaching tool such as PC software.
2) Send pulses based on the moving distance of the actuator to the controller from the PLC (positioning unit).
3) The controller multiplies the entered number of pulses by the electrical gear ratio to get the moving distance. The actuator is moved by the moving distance from the current position. The velocity varies depending on the entered pulse rate (frequency).
4) After the positioning is completed, the completion signal is output.
The above procedure describes the basic operation method in the pulse train control mode.

3.1.2 Parameter Settings
Parameter data should be set to be suited to the system or application. Parameters are variables to be set to meet the use of the controller in the similar way as settings of the ringtone and silent mode of a cell phone and settings of clocks and calendars.
(Example)
Soft Stroke Limit : Set a proper operation range for definition of the stroke end,
prevention of interferences with peripherals and safety.
Zone Output : Set to require signal outputs in an arbitrary position zone within the
operation zone.
Parameters should be set to meet the use of the controller prior to operation. Once set, they may not set every operation. Refer to Chapter 7 for the parameter types and the details.

3.2 Operation in Positioner Mode

This controller can switch over the mode between positioner mode and pulse train control mode with the parameters. In the positioner mode, the following 6 types of PIO pattern can be selected with a proper parameter. This Operational PIO Pattern cannot be switched over after the system is finished to be established or during the actuator operation. Choose the optimum pattern beforehand considering the system operation specifications and prepare the cables and sequence design.

[3] Operation modes of rotary actuator in multiple rotation mode and command limitations
An actuator of multi-rotation specification includes two operation modes, the normal mode enabling only a limited number of rotations and the index mode enabling a number of rotations. A specific operation mode can be selected by parameter No.79 “Rotational axis mode selection”. Parameter No.80 “Rotational axis shortcut selection” allows the shortcut to be made valid or invalid. The table below lists the settings of parameters and the operation specification in each mode.

3.2.1 Set of Position Table (This section is not required in selection of pulse train control mode.)
The values in the position table can be set as shown below. For only positioning, only the position data may be written if specifying the speed, acceleration, and deceleration is not required. The speed, acceleration, and deceleration are automatically set to the data defined by the relevant parameters. Therefore, setting the speed, acceleration, and deceleration data often used to the relevant parameters makes input easy.

Caution: The input value is treated as the angle for the rotary actuator and
lever type gripper. Therefore;
[mm] ψ [deg]·················· 1.2=1.2deg
[mm/s] ψ [deg/s] ············ 100=100deg/s
Note that the notation is [mm] on the screen of the teaching tool such as PC software.
1) Position No.·············· The number is specified by PLC at start.
Caution: Do not use position No.0 if available positions remains enough.
At the first servo ON after power ON, the completed position No. output is 0 even if the actuator is not located at position No.0. The actuator enters into the same state as that at positioning to position No.0. The completed position No. output is 0 during movement of the actuator. To use position No.0, get the command history by using the sequence program to check completed position No.0 based on the history.
2) Position [mm] ··········· Positioning coordinate value. Enter it as the distance from the home position. For pitch feed (relative movement = incremental feed), enter the pitch width. A value with – indicates that the actuator moves toward the home position. A value without – indicates that the actuator moves to be away from the home position.
Caution: (1) In the case of a Gripper Type:
Set the coordinate value on the single finger basis. Set the moving distance of a single finger from the home. In the specification, the stroke indicates the total moving distance of both fingers. Thus the actual stroke is a half of the value in the specification.
(2) In the case of a Rotary Type
Set the coordinate value by an angle from the home.

3) Velocity [mm/s]········· Set the velocity in the operation. Do not attempt to input a value more than the maximum velocity [refer to the caution note below] or minimum velocity
(Note 1)
.
(Note) The minimum velocity differs depending on the type of the
actuator. Refer to the values stated in the appendix in Chapter 9 or the following for the calculation.
Min. Speed [mm//s^2] = Lead Length [mm] / No. of Encoder Pluses / 0.001[s]
4) Acceleration [G] ······· Set the acceleration at start.
5) Deceleration [G] ······· Set the deceleration at stop.
(Reference)How to set the acceleration is described below. The same idea
can be applied to the deceleration.
1G=9800mm/s
2
: Accelerated to 9800mm/s per second
0.3G: Accelerated to 9800mm/s × 0.3 = 2940mm/s per second
Caution: (1) Set the velocity, acceleration and deceleration so that they do not
exceed the rating values described in the brochure or the instruction manual of the actuator. Failure to follow this may cause the life of the actuator to be shortened extremely.
(2) If shocks and/or vibrations appear on the actuator and/or the work,
lower the acceleration and/or the deceleration. In such cases, do not continue the use of the actuator, otherwise the product life may be shortened extremely fast.
(3) If the payload is extremely lighter than the rated payload, increase
accel..., acceleration/deceleration to larger than their rated values to shorten the tact time. Please contact IAI for the settings in such situation. Inform us of the weight, shape and mounting method of the work and the installation conditions of the actuator.
(4) For the actuator of gripper type, set the velocity, acceleration and
deceleration on the single finger basis. Note that the relative velocity, acceleration and deceleration between both the fingers are as twice as the setting values.
6) Pressing [%]············· Setting proper data here allows pressing to be done. Set a pressing torque (limit current value) in %. If the value is set to 0, the normal positioning operation is performed. The speed for the pressing operation is set in Parameter No.34. If the setting of 3) is lower than the pressing velocity, the pressing process will be conducted with the velocity of 3).
Caution: If the pressing velocity is changed, the pressing force may differ from
that specified in 9.5 List of Specifications of Connectable Actuators. When the pressing velocity is changed, make sure to measure the actual pressing force before start using.
7) Threshold [%]··········· Set the threshold value of the pressing torque in %. If the torque (load current) becomes larger than this setting value during pressing, the detection signal is output. This feature is used to monitor the load current and judge whether the operation is good or not in such an operation as press fitting in pressing.

8) Positioning width [mm] ······For positioning in PIO patterns*1 0 to 4, the positioning
complete signal is output if the remaining moving distance is entered within the zone set here. For pressing, the actuator is moved at the setup velocity and acceleration/deceleration in the same way as normal positioning to the position of the coordinate value set in 2) and then performs pressing movement by the data set here. For the positioning band, make its width at least 4 times larger than the minimum unit of the movement (movement amount of 1 pulse of the encoder) of the used actuator. For PIO pattern 5, the positioning band is not the complete signal output range against positioning command. Despite the specified position number, the relevant output signal (LS*) is turned ON when the actuator reaches the setting range. The operation is accomplished as if a sensor were installed to detect the actuator. PIO pattern 5 does not correspond to the pressing operation. *1 PIO pattern : This is the operation pattern of Positioner
mode. [Refer to 3.2 Operation in Positioner Mode]
[Example of PIO pattern 5]
The figure below shows the position table and the position at which each of the LS signals is
turned ON. If the actuator passes any of the positioning bands in the operation by another position number or manual operation in the servo-off state, the relevant LS signal is always turned ON.

Caution at S-shaped Motion:
1) Since it requires a speed change during the operation, even if having the position command or direct command that S-shaped motion is set while the actuator is moving, S-shaped motion control cannot be performed and will be the trapezoid control. Make sure to make a command while the actuator is stopped.
2) S-shaped motion control is invalid in the index mode of the rotary actuator. It will be the trapezoid control even if S-shaped acceleration/deceleration control is indicated.
3) Do not use S-shaped acceleration/deceleration control if the setting of the acceleration time or the deceleration time exceeds 2 seconds. It will not provide the right operation.
4) Do not pause on the move during acceleration or deceleration. It will change the speed (acceleration) and may cause a danger.
12) Incremental···············Set to 1 for pitch feed (relative movement = incremental feed). The value set for the position in 1) indicates the pitch feed distance. With the value set to 0, positioning is defined to the position in 1) based on the absolute coordinate system.
Caution: In the pitch feed, do not perform a command with a pitch smaller than the
minimum encoder resolution (lead/encoder pulse number) or that less than positioning accuracy repeatability. There would be no deviation to occur even with the command because it is an operation command to the same position as the positioning complete condition, but the positioning control cannot be performed properly. When solenoid valve mode 2 is selected, set this to 0. Setting this to 1 causes the position data error to occur.

Two operation modes are provided so that the operation by PIO signals does not overlap with the operation by a teaching tool such as PC software through SIO (serial) communication. The mode change is normally done by the operation mode setting switch ON the front panel of the controller.
AUTO··········Operation by PIO signals is valid. MANU········· Operation through SIO (serial) communication is valid.
However, when having the controller in link connection
(Note 1)
and the teaching tool such as PC software being connected using SIO converter, there is a case the controller and the teaching tool are placed far from each other. In such a case, the controller can be entered into the MANU mode by setting PIO signal RMOD to ON. Because the RMDS signal is set to ON with the MANU mode selected by using the signal, make the operation sequence interlocked. The table below lists the switches ON the front panel, the modes selected by the RMOD signal and the corresponding output states of the RMDS signal.
(Note 1) For the details of the link connection, refer to “9.1 Way to Set Multiple Controllers with

1) Zone signal (ZONE1, ZONE2)·····The output signal is turned ON at the position set by the
proper parameter.
2) Position zone signal (PZONE)····· The output signal is turned ON at the position set in the

Zone ranges should be set in the position table. While the operation corresponding to a position number is executed, the zone range set for the position number is valid. It is kept effective also during the emergency stop unless the actuator is operated or the memory of the origin is lost due to alarm.
(3) Setting values and signal output range
The zone output range varies depending on the difference between the value set for the positive side of the zone and that for the negative side.
1) Value set for positive side > value set for negative side: The output signal is set to ON in the range and OFF out of the range.
2) Value set for positive side < value set for negative side: The output signal is set to OFF in the range and ON out of the range.

The brake can be released while BKRL signal is set to ON. If a brake is installed in the actuator, the brake is automatically controlled by servo ON/OFF. Releasing the brake may be required to move the slider and/or the rod by hand in case of installation of the actuator in the machine or direct teach
*1
. This operation can be done by break release signal BKRL as well as the brake release switch ON the front panel of the controller. *1 Direct teaching : This operation is intended to get coordinate values to the position by
moving the slider and/or the rod by hand.
Warning: (1) Take sufficient care to release the brake. Inappropriate brake release
may cause people to be injured and/or the actuator, the work and/or the machine to be damaged.
(2) After the brake is released, always make the brake applied again. Any
operation with the brake remaining released is extremely dangerous. The slider or rod may drop to cause people to be injured and/or the actuator, the work and/or the machine to be damaged.
(3) Make certain that this signal is turned OFF (brake is activated) when the
power is supplied to the controller.
(4) It is prohibited to switch over between AUTO and MANU while this signal

(Note) For incremental type, operation without home return leads the operation based on the
data of the specified position No. after automatic home return. If one or more problems are found, interlock by home return complete signal HEND is required. Operation to the specified position number would not take place under the condition that the home position data is lost in the simple absolute type, but only the home-return operation will be conducted.

Control method
1) First enter command position No. PC1 to PC** with binary data. Next turn start signal
CSTR ON. Then the actuator starts acceleration depending on the data in the specified position table for positioning to the target position.
2) At operation start, positioning complete signal PEND is turned OFF. Always turn the CSTR
signal OFF. Without it, the completed position number is not output and the positioning complete signal is not turned ON at the completion of positioning.
3) When the positioning is completed, the positioning complete position numbers are output
from complete position No.PM1 to PM** with binary data and also positioning complete signal PEND is turned ON.
4) Moving signal MOVE is turned ON as soon as the operation is started and turned OFF at
the completion of positioning.
5) Positioning complete signal PEND is turned ON if the remaining moving distance enters
into the positioning width. PEND Signal will be kept ON once it is turned ON unless the start signal CSTR is turned back ON, servo is turned OFF
(Note)
or the actuator is out of the
positioning band width range

(Note) It can be switched over with Parameter No.39.

(Note 1) The completion position No. output is set to 0 during movement of the actuator.
Caution:
(1) Set the period taken from entering position No. to turning CSTR ON to 6ms or larger. In spite of
6ms timer process in the PLC, commands may be input to the controller concurrently to cause positioning to another position. Take the scanning time in the PLC into account to set a period as 2 to 4 times as the scanning time. Set the value similarly if the PLC reads the complete position.
(2) At the completion of positioning, positioning complete signal PEND is not turned ON if start
signal SCTR remains ON. If this occurs, turn CSTR OFF then PEND is turned ON immediately. Therefore, create the sequence program so that turning PEND ON makes CSTR turned OFF and the PLC waits for the state in which PEND is turned ON.
(3) At the positioning to the position same as that specified in the stop (complete) position number,
PEND is turned OFF once but moving signal MOVE is not turned ON. Therefore, use PEND to turn CSTR OFF.
(4) MOVE turns on at the same time as PEND turns OFF, and turns OFF when a movement
command is finished or PEND is turned ON. Therefore, when the positioning band setting is wide, the signal may turn OFF even in the actuator operation, and may turn off prior to PEND if the positioning band setting is narrow.

[Shortcut control of rotary actuator of multi-rotation specification]
(1) Set of shortcut selection The shortcut selection can be made valid/invalid by Parameter No.80 “shortcut selection
during rotation”. If the shortcut selection is made valid, the actuator can be moved only in a single direction.
[Operation Examples]

Enter position data assuming 1q = 1mm. (Example) 1.2 is assumed as 1.2q.
For operation in the order of positions 1o2o3o4, the actuator is moved differently whether the shortcut selection is valid or invalid.

(2) Infinite Rotation Control Making the shortcut selection valid and moving the actuator in a specific direction
continuously allows the actuator to be rotated continuously as a motor. The continuous operation can be done as described below.
[Operation Examples]
This example rotates the actuator by 2 turns and finally stops it at position No.4.
Position No. Position
1 0 2 120 3 240 4 90
Enter position data assuming 1q = 1mm. (Example) 1.2 is assumed as 1.2q.
1) Widen the positioning widths of position No.1 to 3 so that they are located before the
position at which deceleration is started.
2) Positioning of position No.1 makes positioning complete signal PEND turned ON before
deceleration is started. If PEND is turned ON, positioning of position No.2 is executed. Similarly, positioning is repeated in the order of position No.3 o 1 o 2 o 3 o 4. Because the normal positioning always gives position data specified last the highest priority, the actuator can be rotated continuously.
3) If the speeds in position No.1 to 4 are set to be the same, the actuator can be rotated at the
same speed. Then the actuator is stopped at the positioning set in position No.4. The number of rotations is defined by the number of repeats of position No.1 to 3.

Control method
The speed of the actuator can be changed while it moves. Positions are used by the number of speeds. The method of controlling the operation to each position is the same as that described in [1] Positioning.
The example below describes the case of 2 speeds:
1) In this example, the speed is changed while the actuator moves from the position of
150mm to the position of 0mm. At first, set the positioning to the target position at the first speed in position No.2. In the positioning width, set the distance from the speed change position to the target position. The value is set to 100mm in the example. Thus, for position No.2, positioning complete signal PEND is turned ON at the position before the target position by 100mm.
2) Set the positioning to the target position at the second speed in position No.3.
3) Start position No.2. Then start position No.3 successively when PEND in position No.2 is
turned ON. In normal positioning, position data specified later has always a priority over position data specified earlier. Thus, the operation in position No.3 is started on the way of the operation in position No.2.
In this example, the target positions No.2 and 3 are equal with each other. They may not be the same. However, setting the target positions to be equal with each other allows the distance from the speed change position to the target position to be known easily. To increase in the number of speed change steps, add a position number and operation sequence, set the speed change position in the positioning width and operate the actuator continuously.

(Position No.2 sets pitch feed.)
Control method
1) The method of controlling pitch feed is the same as that described in [1] Positioning except
the setting of the position table. Repeat the positioning of a specific position No.
2) For pitch feed, the position set in the position table indicates the pitch. Set the pitch
(relative moving distance = incremental moving distance) in column “Position”.
3) If the operation command is issued, the actuator moves from the current stop position by
“Position” in the position table. To perform continuous movement, repeat the operation. Any accumulation error does not occur because the home position (coordinate value 0) is specified as the base point.
Caution: In the pitch feed, do not perform a command with a pitch smaller than the
minimum encoder resolution (lead/encoder pulse number) or that less than positioning accuracy repeatability. There would be no deviation to occur even with the command because it is an operation command to the same position as the positioning complete condition, but the positioning control cannot be performed properly.
