(2) Automatic continuous operation
(a) What is Automatic continuous operation?
By merely choosing one point table and turning ON the forward rotation start (ST1) or the reverse
rotation start (ST2), operation can be performed in accordance with the point tables having consecutive
numbers.
Automatic continuous operation is available in two types: varied speed operation and automatic
continuous positioning operation.
Either type may be selected as follows.
1) In absolute value command system
Automatic

Varied speed operation

(b) Varied speed operation
When "1" or "3" is set to the auxiliary function in the point tables up to No.6, varied speed operation can
be performed at a maximum of 7 speeds. Set "0" to the auxiliary function in the last point table.
When performing varied speed operation, always set "0" to the dwell. If "1" or more is set, automatic
continuous positioning operation is made valid.
The following table gives a setting example.
