SECTION 5
Programming Examples
This section contains examples of possible applications of Positioning Control Unit commands, inputs, and outputs. The
first example (see Section 5–1) shows the minimum data required for operation. The second example (Section 5–2)
shows the use of only one positioning action under START augmented by RESET ORIGIN. Section 5–3 demonstrates
the use of external switches to control positioning actions, while Sections 5–4 and 5–5 show use of TRANSFER DATA:
the example in Section 5–4, from the PC, and in Section 5–5, from external switches. Section 5–6 shows a complex series
of positioning actions under START. The example in Section 5–7 illustrates possible search patterns under ORIGIN
SEARCH, while that in 5–8 illustrates one possible use of zones: controlling manual feeding operations. Section 5–9
shows how to set speeds by multiplying speed units, and Section 5–10 shows a program with multiple banks. Refer to the
Appendixes or individual operation or command descriptions for details.
