11.1.1 Three manual control methods
"Manual control" refers to control in whic h positioning data is not used, and a
positioning operation is carried out in res ponse to signal input from an external sourc e.
The three types of this "manual control" are ex plained below.
[1] JOG operation
"JOG operation" is a control method in wh ich the machine is moved by only a
movement amount (pulses are continuously transm itted while the JOG START
signal is ON). This operation is used to move the workpiece in the directio n in
which the limit signal is ON, when the operat ion is stopped by turning the limit
signal OFF to confirm the positioning system connection and obtain the
positioning data address (Refer to Section 12.7.4 "Teaching function").

[2] Inching operation
"Inching operation" is a control method in which a minute movement amount of
pulses is output manually in one control c ycle.
When the "inching movement amount" of the axis control data is set by J OG
operation, the workpiece is moved by a set m ovement amount. (When the
"inching movement amount" is set to "0", the machine functions as JOG
operation.)
M
JOG start signal is turned
ON to move the workpiece
by the movement amount
of pulses which is output in
one control cycle.
