5. Program Creating
Operations are performed using a program that sets positioning data and determines the operation
sequence and how each operation is performed. How operations are performed in each of the two
operation modes used by the RC gateway function is explained below.
The program is in common for Fieldbus and SIO Types.
Method to use position data in X-SEL
Operations are performed by setting the position data of the slave axis in the master controller (X-SEL
controller).
Although up to 512 points can be set per axis, take note that increasing the number of effective axes
decreases the number of specifiable positions.
The table below shows the relationship of the largest axis number among the connected axes and the
maximum number of position data points that can be set.
(The same relationship applies to the number of positions available with each ROBONET, MSEP and
MSCON axis.)
Largest axis number Number of positions
0 to 7 512
8 455
9 409
10 372
11 341
12 315
13 292
14 273
15 256
Method to use position data in RC
Operations are performed with an X-SEL program using the position data set in each slave-axis controller
(RC controller or ROBONET, MSEP and MSCON).
The number of positions corresponds to whatever is permitted for the each slave controller.
The maximum number of positions for each axis is determined by each controller as well as the applicable
parameters set in the controller. Refer to the operation manual for each controller.
