3.8 Zone Signal Output
Two types of zone output signals are available: zone output (ZONE1) and position zone output (PZONE). The
boundaries defining the signal ON range are set differently for each zone output.
[1] Zone output (ZONE1) --- Set by parameter No. 1/No. 2.
[2] Position zone output (PZONE) --- Set in the “Zone boundary-“ and “Zone boundary+” fields of the position
table.
Whether these signals are available or not varies depending on the PIO pattern, as shown below.

Example of use in operation) Move the actuator from the home to the 150-mm position (position 1) and output a
zone signal once the actuator enters the range between 40 mm and 120 mm.
