If you designate a positioning action as “continuous”, then as soon as the
target position for that positioning action is reached, the next positioning ac-
tion is started. The first target position is reached at the target speed set for
the next positioning action, so that the next positioning action can be ex-
ecuted immediately.

The term “bank” refers to a combination of several positioning actions or se-
quences. If you designate the positioning action as “bank end”, it will serve
as the final positioning action in that bank. The target position is reached and
feeding stops. The next positioning action to be executed will be the initial
positioning action number in bits 07 to 00 of DM word m. START is required
in order to resume execution of positioning actions.

If you designate a positioning action as “extended”, the Position Control Unit
will continually output pulses, at the speed set for the positioning action, until
the action is terminated by STOP. The Unit will not calculate the present posi-
tion, and the No-origin flag (bit 11 of IR n+5) will go ON during operation. The
direction of pulse output is determined by the direction digit set in the posi-
tioning data. (See
Appendix C.) START is required in order to resume execu-
tion of positioning actions.

If you designate a positioning action as “extended with positioning”, the Posi-
tion Control Unit continually outputs pulses at the speed set for the position-
ing action. This is similar to “extended”, described above. When STOP is ex-
ecuted, however, the present position that was defined when the positioning
