Overview of Operations
Item
Contents
Operating modes
The following two modes are available.
Manual Mode: Operation according to CPU Unit memory area or commands from
Teaching Box.
Automatic Mode: Operation according to commands in G-language program.
Manual
Jogging
Moves axes continuously by manual operation.
a ua
Handle feed
Moves axes by MPG.
Deceleration stop
Decelerates to a stop according to command.
Manual origin search
Searches for mechanical origin. (Origin search is possible in either an incremental or
absolute encoder system.)
Manual origin return
Moves to origin in reference coordinate system.
Forced origin
Forcibly sets the present position to 0 to establish it as the origin. (In an absolute
encoder system, only the present position of the MC Unit will be set to 0.)
Absolute origin setting
Sets the origin for an absolute encoder.
Servo-lock
Creates a position loop and turns ON the operation command output to the
servodriver, while simultaneously releasing the brake. When an absolute encoder is
used, the absolute position is read before the servo-lock is applied.
Servo-unlock
Releases the position loop and applies the brake, and simultaneously turns OFF the
operation command output to the servodriver. Servo-unlock can be executed even in
Automatic Mode.
Electronic gear function
A fixed ratio (numerator and denominator) can be applied to input pulses, and output
to the servomotor driver.
