Rotational axis mode selection
Parameter No. 79 defines the mode of the rotational axis
If the axis operation type (parameter No. 78) is set to “rotational axis,” selecting the index mode will fix the
current value to a range of 0 to 359.99. When the index mode is selected, shortcut control is enabled.
Definition of settings: 0 (Normal mode)
1 (Index mode)
The index mode cannot be specified for actuators of absolute specification.
(Note) With the rotational axes RS-30 and 60, the factory setting is “1” (index mode). With the rotational
axes RCS2-RT6, RT6R, RT7 and RT7R, the factory setting is “0” (normal mode).
Caution: Push & hold operation is not possible in the index mode. Even if data is entered in the “Push” field of
the position data, the data will be ignored and normal movement will be performed.
The positioning band will conform to the default positioning band.
