3.9.4 Operation Mode Setting
Operation mode setting is to be conducted in the following procedures.
1) Select (Note1) whether to use Remote I/O Mode.
2) Select (Note2) an operation mode for Drive Unit 0 (AX0: 1st axis, AX1: 2nd axis).
3) If making one of the axes for Drive Unit 0 the reserved axis (unused axis), tick on “Axis 0
Rsv” or “Axis 1 Rsv” (Note3) beside the operation mode setting box.
4) Once the operation mode for Drive Unit 0 is selected, selection of an operation mode for
Drive Unit 1 (AX2: 3rd axis, AX3: 4th axis) becomes available. Select a desired operation
mode. Also, if there is a reserved axis, tick on “Axis 2 Rsv” or “Axis 3 Rsv” beside the
operation mode setting box.
5) Once the operation mode for Drive Unit 1 is selected, selection of an operation mode for
Drive Unit 2 (AX4: 5th axis, AX5: 6th axis) becomes available. Select a desired operation
mode. Also, if there is a reserved axis, tick on “Axis 4 Rsv” or “Axis 5 Rsv” beside the
operation mode setting box.
Note 1: Remote I/O Mode and other modes cannot be set at the same time. When Remote I/O
Mode is selected, the operation mode for all the actuator will become Remote I/O Mode.
Note 2: For MSCON, setting of drive units in individual is the basic concept.
Note 3: If set as the reserved axis, but an actuator not to be connected, set as the invalid axis in
Parameter No.158 Invalid Axis Setting.
Even when the number of the used axes is an odd number, have one more axis at the
end input as a reserved axis to make an even number. It is necessary to secure as much
area as when not set as reserved even if set as the reserved axis.
