Manual Pulse Generator Operation
Positioning control according to the number of pulses input from the manual pulse
generator.
Simultaneous operation of 1 to 3-axes is possible with one manual pulse generator;
the number of modules that can be connected is as shown below.

[Control Details]
(1) Positioning of the axes set in the manual pulse generator axis setting register
according to the pulses input from the manual pulse generator.
Manual pulse generator operation is only valid while the manual pulse genera-
tor enable flag is ON.

(2) The travel value and output speed are shown below for positioning control due
to manual pulse generator output.
(a) Travel value
The travel value due to the input of pulses from a manual pulse generator is
calculated using the following formula.
[travel value] = [travel value per pulse]
