Speed command unit for position control Command units/s
Acceleration/deceleration speeds for
position control 10,000 command units/s2

Control command
range Position command range -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 (command units)
Speed command range for position control 0 to 2,147,483,647 (command units/s)
Acceleration/deceleration speeds for
position control 1 to 65,535 (10,000 command units/s2)
Speed command range for speed control -199.999% to 199.999%
The upper limit is restricted by the maximum speed of the servo motor.
Torque command range for torque control -199.999% to 199.999%
The upper limit is restricted by the maximum torque of the servo motor.
Control functions Servo lock/unlock Locks and unlocks the servo driver.
Position control Positions to an absolute position or relative position according to the specified target position and tar-
get speed specified from the ladder program.
Origin determination • Origin search: Establishes the origin using the specified search method.
• Present position preset: Changes the present position to a specified position to establish the origin.
• Origin return: Returns the axis from any position to the established origin.
• Absolute encoder origin: Establishes the origin using a Servomotor that has an absolute encoder,
without having to use an origin search.
Jogging Outputs a fixed speed in the CW or CCW direction.
Interrupt feeding Performs positioning by moving the axis a fixed amount when an external interrupt input is received
while the axis is moving.
Speed control Performs speed control by sending a command to the servo driver speed loop.
Torque control Performs torque control by sending a command to the servo driver current loop.
Stop functions • Deceleration stop: Decelerates the moving axis to a stop.
• Emergency stop: Positions the moving axis for the number of pulses remaining in the deviation
counter and then stops the axis.
Linear interpolation Up to 8 axes can be interpolated by using two interpolators (4 axes per interpolator)
Available in unit version 1.1 or higher
Auxiliary functions Acceleration/deceleration curves Sets either a trapezoidal (linear) curve, an exponential curve, or an S-curve (moving average).
Torque limit Restricts the torque upper limit during position control.
Override Multiplies the axis command speed by a specified ratio. Override: 0.01% to 327.67%
Servo parameter transfer Reads and writes the servo driver parameters from the ladder program in the CPU unit.
Monitoring function Monitors the control status of the servo driver's command coordinate positions, feedback position,
current speed, torque, etc.
Software limits Limits software operation for controlling positioning.
Backlash compensation Compensates for the amount of play in the mechanical system according to a set value.
