5. Operation Using I/O Signals
5.3.6 Zone Output Signal
This signal remains ON while the actuator is inside the zone set in the position table.
The zone output signal can be set only at a single point, but a different zone can be set for the move command
corresponding to each target position (rear end, front end, or intermediate point).
Use the zone output signal in the following situations.
[1] Set an interlock signal to prevent contact with peripheral equipment.
[2] Set a trigger signal for peripheral equipment to reduce the tact time.
[3] Detect missed load during push-motion operation.
[4] Determine the end point when positioning to a series of aligned loads via constant pitch feed.
(Note) In constant pitch feed, the “Position” field indicates a relative distance. However, the zone is still set
as an absolute coordinate from the home.
