Control
functions
Servo lock/unlock Creates (Servo lock) or releases (Servo unlock) the position loop on the PCU.
Position control Positions to an absolute position or relative position according to the target
position and target speed specified from the ladder program.
Origin
determination
Origin search: Establishes the origin using the specified search method.
Present position preset: Changes the present position to a specified position to
establish the origin.
Origin return: Returns the axis from any position to the established origin.
Absolute encoder origin: Establishes the origin using a Servomotor that has an
absolute encoder, without having to use an origin search.
Jogging Outputs pulses at a fixed speed in the forward rotation or reverse rotation
direction.
Interrupt feeding Performs positioning by moving the axis a fixed amount when an external interrupt
input is received while the axis is moving.
Speed control Performs speed control by sending a command to the Servo Drive speed loop.
Torque control Performs torque control by sending a command to the Servo Drive current loop.
Stop functions Deceleration stop: Decelerates the moving axis to a stop.
Emergency stop: Positions the moving axis for the number of pulses remaining in
the deviation counter and then stops the axis.
Auxiliary
functions
Acceleration/
deceleration
curves
Sets one of the following: a trapezoidal (linear) curve, an exponential curve, or an
S-curve (moving average).
Torque limit Restricts the output torque during axis operation.
Override Multiplies the axis command speed by a specified ratio.
Override: 0.01% to 327.67%
Servo parameter
transfer
Reads and writes the Servo Drive parameters from the ladder program in the CPU
Unit.
Monitoring
function
Monitors the control status of the Servo Drive, such as the command coordinate
positions, feedback position, current speed, and torque.
Software limits Limits software operation within the positioning range during position control.
Backlash
compensation
Compensates for the amount of play in the mechanical system according to a set
value.
Deviation counter
reset
The position deviation in the Servo Drive's deviation counter can be reset to 0
(unit version 1.3 or later).
