2.3.3 Motion Command Descriptions
The following table describes the motion commands.
Table 2.5 Motion Command Descriptions.
∗
“ - ” in MOV[axis1] - •••; denotes the numeric data for axis 1.

Com-

MOV
POSITIONING
MOV [axis1] - ; *
Executes positioning at rapid traverse speed.
MVS
LINEAR INTER-
POLATION
MVS [axis1] - F - ;
Executes linear travel at interpolation feed 
speed F.
ZRN
ZERO POINT 
RETURN
ZRN [axis1] - ;
Returns axis to its zero point.
SKP
SKIP
SKP [axis1] - SS - F - ;
If the SKIP signal turns ON during a linear 
interpolation operation, skips the remaining 
movement and proceeds to the next block.
EXM
EXTERNAL PO-
SITIONING
EXM[axis1]- D - ;
When an external positioning signal is input 
while external positioning is being executed, 
only the travel distance designated by “D-" is 
positioned with an incremental value, and 
then the next command is executed.

Com-
mands
ABS
ABSOLUTE 
MODE
ABS;
Treats all subsequent coordinate words as 
absolute values.
INC
INCREMENTAL 
MODE
INC;
Treats all subsequent coordinate words as 
incremental values.
POS
CURRENT POSI-
TION SET
POS [axis1] - ;
Changes the current values to the desired 
coordinate values. Subsequent move com-
mands use this new coordinate system.
MVM
MOVE ON MA-
CHINE COORDI-
NATE
MVM MOV [axis1] - ;
or
MVM MVS [axis1] - ;
Goes to the target position on the machine 
coordinate system. The coordinate system 
set automatically on completion of the zero 
point return is called a machine coordinate 
system. This coordinate system is not 
affected by the POS command.
PLD
PROGRAM CUR-
RENT POSI-
TION UPDATE
PLD [axis1] ;
Updates the program current position for 
axes shifted by manual intervention.
