Position Reference
There are two methods of setting the position reference: Direct designation, which directly
sets the position reference in OL12, and indirect designation, which specifies the num-
ber of the position buffer from which the position reference is stored in OL12.
There are two direct designation methods: The absolute position reference mode, in which
the absolute position is set in OL12, and the incremental addition mode, in which the
present travel distance is added to the previous position reference value (previous value of
OL12).
Table 2.14 shows the parameters relating to the position reference.
* 1. This parameter is invalid when the position reference value selection is the position buffer
(indirect designation).
* 2. The setting data differs according to the setting of the Position Reference Value Selection (bit
12 of OW01) and the Position Reference Type (bit 14 of OW01).
When indirect designation is used to specify the position buffer number, the positions stored in the
position buffer are treated as absolute positions.
When a motion command (OW20) is not used, the position reference value set in OL12 is
treated as an absolute position.

Position Reference
Value Selection
Sets the position reference designation method.
• 0: Direct designation
Directly sets the position data in OL
12.
Specifies in bit 14 of OW
01 whether the
position data is to be set in the absolute posi-
tion mode or the incremental addition mode.
• 1: Indirect designation
Sets the number of the position buffer in
OL
12. The absolute position must first be
stored in the specified position buffer.

Type
Specifies the type of position data.
• 0: Absolute position mode
Sets the absolute position in OL
12.
• 1: Incremental addition mode
Adds the present travel distance value to the
previous value of OL
12 and sets the
result in OL
12.
