Operation Mode Control
There are four Operation Modes mentioned in Chapter 4 can be tested in 
the Axis Operation window. They are “Continuous Move Mode”, “Preset 
Mode Operation”, “Home Mode Operation”, “Manual Mode Operation”. 
•
Continuous Move Mode:
Press “Continuous Move” button will enable Continuous Velocity motion as 
specified by values entered in “Start Velocity” and “Maximum Velocity” 2 
fields of Motion Parameters Control. The steady state moving velocity will 
be as specified by “Maximum Velocity”. Press 
→ to move forward or ← to
move backward. Press “STOP” to stop moving.
•
Preset Mode:
Press “Absolute Mode” to enable absolute motion as specified by values 
entered in “Position 1” and “Position 2” 2 fields. When selected, “Distance” 
field for “Relative Mode” is disabled. Press 
→ to move to Position 2 or ← to
move to Position 1. Press “STOP” to stop motion.
Also, user can specify repetitive motion in “Absolute Mode” by setting 
“Repeat Mode” to “ON” state. When “Repeat Mode” goes “ON” and either 
→ or ← is pressed., axis starts repetitive motion between Position 1 and 
Position 2 until “Repeat Mode” goes “OFF” as “STOP” are clicked. 
Press “Relative Mode” to enable relative motion as specified by values 
entered in “Distance” fields. When selected, “Position 1” and “Position 2” 
fields for “Absolute Mode” is disabled. Press 
→ to move forward to a
distance relative to present position as specified by “Distance” or
← to
move backward.
Note that both “Absolute Mode” and “Relative Mode” are operated under a 
trapezoidal velocity profile as specified by Motion Parameters Control. 
•
Home Return Mode:
Press “Home Move” button will enable Home Return motion. The home 
returning velocity is specified by settings in Motion Parameters Control. The 
arriving condition for Home Return Mode is specified in Axis Configuration
