actuator
This parameter defines the mode of the rotational axis.

Index Mode
�
The index mode cannot be specified for actuators of absolute specification.
(Note) With the rotational axes RS-30/60 and RCS2-RTC8L/RTC8HL/RTC10//RTC12L, the
factory setting is “1” (index mode).
With the rotational axes RCS2-RT6/RT6R/RT7/RT7R, the factory setting is “0” (normal
mode).
Caution: Do not change the setting of this parameter. Failure to follow this may cause
an alarm or fault to occur.
Caution: When it is set to “Index Mode”, the push & hold operation is not available.
Even when data is entered in the “Push & Hold” data box in the Position Data,
it becomes invalid and normal operation is performed. The positioning width
becomes the parameter’s default value for the positioning width.
