Basic description of PCL series
-23-
POINT 8. A variety of operation modes
Roughly speaking, the PCL series have 18 operation modes.
Command continuous
operation
Starts by a start command, stops by a stop command.
Pulsar continuous
operation
After writing a start command, synchronizes pulsar input with output
pulses.
Switch continuous
operation
After writing a start command, outputs pulses controlled by a switch
input.
Zero return operation
Feed to the zero position: 13 zero return sequences are available.
Zero position leave
operation
When the zero position sensor is ON, it moves the motor to a position
where the sensor signal goes OFF.
Limit positioning
operation
Moves to the end limit position or software limit position.
Limit leaving operation
When a motor is on an end limit position or software limit position, it
moves it to a position where the limit signal turns OFF.
Positioning operation
Set a target position and start a positioning operation.
Zero position return
operation
Move to a command position or towards a position until the current
position counter becomes 0.
One pulse operation
Output just one pulse.
Timer operation
The IC performs a positioning operation internally. However, it does not
output pulses. Used as a process timer.
Pulse synchronized
positioning
Positioning operation synchronized with the pulsar input.
Switch input positioning Output a preset number of pulses each time a switch signal is input.
Linear interpolation 1
operation
Linear interpolation of any two to four axes.
Linear interpolation 2
operation
Linear interpolation of five axes or more using multiple ICs.
Continuous linear
interpolation operation
Operation using linear interpolation 1. But the operation continues until
a stop command is input.
Continuous linear
interpolation 2
operation
Operation using linear interpolation 2. But the operation continues until
a stop command is input.
Arc interpolation
operation
Arc interpolation with any two axes. Can draw a perfect right circle.
In the discussion above, we have only been outlining the features and functions of the PCL series.
For items not described in this document or details of the individual functions, see the user's manual
for each model.
We hope this document will be helpful in your selection of a PCL model.
