9 MAJOR POSITIONING CONTROL
[3] Continuous path control(1) Continuous path control
(a) The speed is changed without deceleration sto p between the
command speed of the positioning data curren tly being run and the
speed of the positioning data that will be run next.
The speed is not changed if the current speed and the next speed are
equal.
(b) The speed will become the speed used in the pr evious positioning
operation if the command speed is set to "- 1".
(c) Dwell time will be ignored, even if set.
(d) The next positioning No. is executed automatic ally in operations by
continuous path control (operation pattern "11"). Alwa ys complete the
positioning by setting operation pattern "00" in the last po siti oni ng da ta .
If the operation pattern is set to positioning continue ("01" or "11"), the
operation will continue until operation pattern "00" is fou nd.
If the operation pattern "00" cannot be found, the operation may be
carried out until the positioning data No. 600 . If the operation pattern of
the positioning data No. 600 is not completed, the opera t ion wil l be
started again from the positioning data No. 1.
(e) The speed switching patterns include the "f ront-loading speed
switching pattern" in which the speed is changed at the end of th e
current positioning side, and the "standard sp eed switching pattern" in
which the speed is at the start of the next pos itioning side. (Refer to
"Pr.19 Speed switching mode".)

(f) In the continuous path control, the positionin g may be completed
before the set address/movement amount and the current data may be
switched to the "positioning data that will be run next".
This is because a preference is given to th e positioning at a command
speed. In actuality, the positioning is com pleted before the set
address/movement amount by an amount of remaining dista nce at
speeds less than the command speed. The rem aining distance ( )
at speeds less than the command speed is 0 (distance
moved in 1.8ms at a speed at the time of com pletion of the
positioning).
