4 Motion Control
4.3.1 Prerequisites for Position Control
4-28
When using a motion program, the bit 14 of OW01 (Position Reference Type) must be set to 1
(Incremental Addition Mode).
The default setting is 1 (Incremental Addition Mode).
Table 4.8 shows the differences when motion commands (OW20) are used, and when no
motion command is used.
The meaning of the terms used in the above table and their method of application are dis-
cussed below.
Reference Unit
The reference units input to the Module are set with the following motion fixed parameter
settings.
Pulses, millimeters, degrees, or inches can be used as the reference unit. The reference unit is
specified in bits 0 to 3 of motion fixed parameter No. 17 (Motion Controller Function Selec-
tion Flags).
The minimum reference unit that can be specified in the Module is determined by the above
unit settings and the setting of motion fixed parameter No. 18 (Number of Digits Below Dec-
imal Point).
When motion commands (OW20) are not used, the unit will be the pulse.
