The PLC-S Positioning Special Program Configuration Window is shown below.

Close the Monitor screen and then select the Start Address.

Open

X / Y Axis Parameter
You can configure below parameters using the PLC-S Positioning Special Program. Because the setting parameters are stored in the same memory area (flash memory) in which a sequence program is stored, the settings are preserved even after the power is removed.

X / Y Axis Position Data
You can create and configure 30 position data per axis. Each position data occupies the memory size of 8 Word in the following order as shown below. This structure is used in the same manner for POSCTRL, a positioning-dedicated command.

*Dwell Time / Operation Speed / Position Address can be configured using constant values and devices.

Monitor
Monitor mode is executed.

The Monitor mode displays the operation information based on the Start Address.

*Inching Movement has been added.

AXIS: Select X Axis or Y Axis. When the axis changes, so does the device. It displays the current value of the device in the information field.
ENABLE / DISABLE:
Read: It determines the current activation status of the axis.
Write: When this flag is set, the axis function is switched to active status.
When this flag is reset, the axis is switched to inactive status.
Forward / Backward JOG
JOG operation initiates the 'Forward / Backward JOG' signal without an instruction.
JOG operation is executed according to the set values of 'JOG Speed Limit' and JOG Acc/Dec Time.'
JOG operation can be activated without having no origin point determined.
*You cannot click 'Forward' or 'Backward' buttons during the forward/backward operation.
*Operating status is retained when you close Monitor window during Forward/Backward JOG operation.

Decelerate Stop: The axis in operation begins to decelerate until it comes to a full stop.
Emergency Stop: The axis in operation immediately stops without any deceleration process.
These are occasions at which the axis immediately stops not by this command.
