For example, if operating multiple machines using a single Motion Controller, it is easier to
consider allocating one group to each machine. Assuming that currently there are two
machines operating independently, set the definitions for each by allocating group names
Machine 1 and Machine 2.
Often, one machine is operated by one group.
„ Defining Scan Time
Set the scan times for both high and low speed for the system. Set the high-speed scan in
multiples of 2-ms units from 2 ms minimum. The low-speed scan is processed using the
empty time slots between high-speed scans.
The motion program is scheduled using the high-speed scan, so set the actual scan time
value in 2-ms units using x2 the current high-speed scan time value as a standard.
Refer to Chapter 4 System Configuration Definitions for information on acquiring and set-
ting the scan time current value.
„ Setting Motion Parameters
Motion parameter settings are required to adjust the initial setting parameters for the servo
amplifier and motor. Refer to MP900 Series Machine Controller User's Manual: Design and
Maintenance, and set the parameters depending on the type of servo and its application.
