(4) Positioning (test operation mode)
You can move the axis to the position corresponding to the cursor row in the position data input area.
The moving speed is calculated by multiplying the speed set in the position data input area with the speed
factor. (The speed factor can also be set by the track bar.)
Fig. 5.19 Positioning
Clicking (step) will move the axis by one position, while clicking (continuous move) will cause the axis
to move continuously by looping within the block of specified position data.
Clicking again while the axis is moving continuously will stop the axis when it reaches the next position.
Clicking will stop the axis (the axis will start decelerating the moment the button is clicked and continue to
decelerate until it finally stops.)
* What is a continuous move?
If a continuous move command is issued at position No. 2 when the position table is set as follows, the actuator
will operate continuously through a group of positions where data is available (= until the position immediately
before one where no data is registered (whose data fields are empty)), starting from the position at which the
command is issued. In this example, the actuator will operate from position No. 2 Æ No. 3 Æ No. 1 Æ No. 2,
and so on.
* If the data loaded from the controller has been changed, write the modified data again to the controller
beforehand.
* While this mode is active, data cannot be entered in the jogging/inching control groups or point data input
area.

When PCON, ACON, SCON, MSCON, ERC2 and ERC3 are connected, the maximum speed becomes the
safety speed of 250 mm/sec or less if the MANU operation mode is set to the teach mode 1 (safety speed
effective).
