12.7.8 Pre-reading start function
The "pre-reading start function" does not outp ut pulses while the execution prohibition
flag is ON if a positioning start request is given with the execution prohibition flag O N,
and starts outputting pulses within 3m after O FF of the execution prohibition flag is
detected. The positioning start request is gi ven when the axis is in a standby status,
and the execution prohibition flag is turned OFF at the axis operating timing. This
shortens the virtual start time. The QD75 norm ally takes 6 to 7ms from when it
receives a positioning start request until it star ts pulse output (start time). Some
systems often need the start time to be shortene d. This "pre-reading start function" can
improve the tact time of the system.
The "pre-reading start function" will be explained below .

[1] Controls
The pre-reading start function is performed by turning ON the positioning start
signal [Y10, Y11, Y12, Y13] with the execution prohibition flag [Y14, Y15, Y16,
Y17] ON, or by executing the dedicated instruction (PSTRT1, PSTRT 2, PSTRT3,
PSTRT4). However, if positioning is start ed with the execution prohibition flag
ON, the positioning data is analyzed but pulse output is not p rovide d . While the
execution prohibition flag is ON, " Md.26 Axis operation status" remains
unchanged from "5: Analyzing". Pulse out put starts within 3ms after the execution
prohibition flag [Y14, Y15, Y16, Y17] has tur ned OFF, and " Md.26 Axis
operation status" changes to the status (e.g. d uring position control, during speed
control) that matches the control system. (Ref er to Fig. 12.48)
