8.3.3 Parameters Relating to the External Interface
 PIO pattern selection
Select the PIO operation pattern in parameter No. 25.
This setting forms the basis of operation, so be sure to set this parameter at the beginning.
The factory setting is “0: [Conventional].”
Parameter No.
25 setting
Feature of PIO pattern
0 Conventional
This pattern is compatible with the pin assignments of the RCP controller.
1 Standard
All functions of the RCP controller are available, plus the home-return command
input, servo ON input, reset input, moving output and ready output.
2 64-point positioning
Compared with the standard pattern offering only 16 positioning points, this pattern
provides up to 64 positioning points.
However, the servo ON input, ready output and zone output have been removed.
3 2 zone output signals
Compared with the standard pattern offering only one zone output signal, this pattern
provides two zone output signals.
However, the moving output has been removed.
The boundaries for the second zone output signal are specified in parameter Nos. 23
and 24.
4 Teaching
This pattern allows for normal positioning operation, as well as jogging and writing of
current position to a specified position using I/Os.
Switching between the normal positioning mode and teaching mode is effected by the
MODE input signal.
The mode switching completion output has been added to indicate that the modes
have been switched.
However, the zone output has been removed.
(Note) Position data can be rewritten up to around 100,000 times.
5 4 points (air cylinder)
Use of the RCP2 as an air cylinder is assumed in this pattern.
The number of positioning points is limited to four, but a direct command input and a
position complete output are provided for each target position in line with the
conventional practice of air cylinder control.
This lets the user control the RCP2 just like an air cylinder.
