1.2 Introduction of Products Needed for Positioning
To control the positioning operation, use the positioning functions incorporated in the main unit (including the
special adapters), and the special functions units/blocks. The functions, however, depend on the product(s)
being used. Select the optimum product(s) for the purpose of use.
1.2.1 List of Models
The products needed for positioning are shown in the following table:
1. Main unit (transistor output) and special adapter
*1. Do not exceed the maximum rotation speed of the servo motor or the stepping motor.
*2. Can only be connected to the FX3U PLC.
*3. "2-axes (independent)" in 14-point and 24-point type main units.
*4. Connection of 1 adapter can control 2 axes. Connection of 2 adapters can control up to 4 axes.
*5. The minimum frequency set by the PLSY instruction or PLSV instruction is "1 Hz".
→ For details on the PLSY instruction, refer to the programming manual.
