5. Operation Using I/O Signals
Operation timings
PLC processing 1:
The rear end move command signal (ST0) and front end move command signal (ST1) turn OFF,
and the intermediate point move command signal (ST2) turns ON.
Operation:
[1]
The actuator starts moving, and when it reaches the intermediate point, the intermediate
point positioning complete output (PE2) turns ON. The zone output signal also turns ON.
PLC processing 2:
The intermediate point move command signal (ST2) turns OFF and the sequence processing is
performed.
Once the sequence processing is completed, the front end move command signal (ST1) turns
ON.
[2]
When the actuator starts moving toward the front end, the intermediate point positioning
complete output (PE2) turns OFF.
When the actuator moves 50 mm thereafter, the front end positioning complete output (PE1)
turns ON.
PLC processing 3:
The front end move command signal (ST1) turns OFF, and the sequence processing is
performed.
Once the sequence processing is completed, the front end move command signal (ST1) turns
ON.
[3]
When the actuator starts moving toward the front end, the front end positioning complete
output (PE1) turns OFF.
When the actuator moves 50 mm thereafter, the front end positioning complete output (PE1)
turns ON again.
* The same steps are repeated for the number of works.
The PLC should be programmed so that if the zone output signal is OFF when the signal ON/OFF state is checked
upon completion of positioning, the PLC will recognize that the applicable work is the last work.
If the PLC count and the zone output signal state do not match, the signal timings may not be synchronized.
Caution:
Note on checking positioning complete signals
When a move command signal turns ON, the relevant positioning complete output signal turns OFF
temporarily. To determine if positioning has completed, therefore, check the leading edge of the positioning
complete output signal after it has turned OFF.
