A Yaskawa GPD515/G5 AC drive flashed with this software has the ability to control the stopped orientation of the
driven machine. Orientation is achieved by means of feedback from a position encoder directly coupled to the device to
be positioned. The targeted applications are for equipment that must stop in specific positions during the processing
cycle of an operation. Drive enhancements include a definable home position and 15 additional positions relative to
home that can be sequenced automatically or selected through multi-function inputs. A special serial register that does
not require accept or enter commands is provided to enable dynamic control of the stopped position via serial
communications. Drive sequence (start/stop) can come from the terminals (2 or 3 wire control), MODBUS serial
communications, or option board based serial communications (DeviceNet, Profibus, Modbus Plus, etc.). The spindle
orient function will not work in local mode or if the run command source is operator (B1-02 = 0).
