4. Position Table Settings
To move the actuator to a specified position, basically you must enter the target position in the “Position” field of the position
table.
A target position can be specified as an absolute coordinate indicating a distance from the home (absolute mode), or as a
relative coordinate indicating a relative travel from the current position (incremental mode).
Once a target position is entered, all other fields will be automatically populated by the defaults set by the corresponding
parameters.
The defaults vary depending on the actuator characteristics.
4.1 Details of the Position Table
The position table is explained by using the PC software screen as an example.
(The display on the teaching pendant is different.)
(1) No. • Each number indicates a position data number. The respective numbers are defined as follows:
No. 0 --- Entry field for conditions to move to the rear end.
No. 1 --- Entry field for conditions to move to the front end.
No. 2 --- Entry field for conditions to move to the intermediate point.
(2) Position • Enter a target position of the front end, rear end or intermediate point, in mm.
Absolute mode:
Enter a distance from the actuator home.
Incremental mode: The actuator is assumed to operate at a constant pitch. Enter a relative travel
from the current position.
For example, you can move the actuator to the front end from the intermediate
point via incremental moves at a 30-mm pitch.
(Use of the standard type is recommended because zone output signals are
available in this type.)
Absolute mode: The rear end is positioned 5 mm away from the home.
Incremental mode: The front end is positioned 30 mm away from the current position.
Absolute mode: The intermediate point is positioned 200 mm away from the home.
* On the teaching pendant, an equal sign indicates that the applicable position is set in the incremental mode.
