3.6 Continuous operation
"Continuous operation" refers to consecutive positioning operations which occur in response to an initial
START command input. When one positioning operation ends, and the "Timer" specified delay (wait) time
elapses, the next positioning operation begins for the "Jump" specified point No. Operation ends when there
are no more "Jump" settings.
The figure below shows the following continuous operation example: Operation 1 (P1 positioning) Operation 2
(P2 positioning) Operation 3 (P3 positioning).

NOTE
• The next positioning point No. for continuous operation is specified by the "Jump" setting.
• If a delay (wait) time is desired before proceeding to the next positioning operation, it can be specified at the
"Timer" setting.
• When "Jump" is not specified (set to 0), the operation ends when that positioning is completed.
TIP
When the "POUT select" I/O parameter is set to "AFTER", the point No. output occurs after each positioning
operation, regardless of the timer setting.
