Handling Precautions
•
Segment events can be shared by multiple loops. Since one event can be set
ON for each loop, ON can occur simultaneously in up to four loops. It is also
possible for the same segment event to be ON in multiple loops.

PV start
The PV start function starts pattern operation from the SP of Segment 2, if it
matches the PV.
Whether to enable PV start can be set for each pattern.
If there is a point that matches the PV, operation starts from that point. If there is
no point that matches the PV, operation starts at the start point of Segment 1.

The following figure shows whether PV start is possible or not for four PVs.

PV(1)

PV(2)
PV(3)
PV(4)
For PV(2), PV start begins from the point where the PV and SP of Segment 2
match.
For PV(1) and PV(4), PV start is not executed because there is no SP that matches
the PV.
For PV(3), PV start is not executed because the match of the SP with the PV does
not occur in Segment 2.
