7.2.7. Target Proximity: NEARA and NEARB

These outputs report that the Motor is approaching to the target position.

These outputs are used to have a precise timing with external devices just before the positioning
completes.
Table 7-25: Signal logic of outputs NEAR and NEARB
Logic Description
Open Not in the proximity of the target position.
Closed In the proximity of the target position.

These outputs report the current Motor position is approaching to the target position when executing a
positioning by the programs or by RS-232C communication.

The output closes when the Motor gets in the proximity of the target position set by the parameter NA
(Near A) in units of pulse.

The output remains closed when the Motor is in the proximity area at the time of inputting a positioning
command.


When the output is closed once the Motor has been in proximity area, the output remains closed until the
next positioning command is executed. (The Condition of output signal is ensured to be stable until the
next positioning operation is completed.)
However, it opens again in the following situations since the Driver Unit cannot hold the current target
position.

Interruption of a positioning by the input STP (Stop).

Deactivation of Motor servo

Interruption of a positioning by an alarm, a warning and an activation of the travel limit.
