5. Data Entry <Basic>
To move the actuator to a specified position, you must enter the target position in the “Position” field of the position
table.
The target position can be specified in two different modes: by absolute coordinate specification (absolute mode) in
which the distance from the home is entered, or by relative coordinate specification (incremental mode) in which the
incremental travel from the current position is entered.
Once the target position is entered, other fields will be automatically populated by the default values set by the
parameters.
The default values vary in accordance with the characteristics of the actuator.
5.1 Description of Position Table
The position table is explained by using the screen on the PC software as an example.
(The displayed items vary on the teaching pendant screen.)
(1) No.
x Indicate the position data number. A position is defined as explained below.
(2) Position
x Enter the target position to move the actuator to, in [mm].
Absolute mode: Enter the distance to the target actuator position from
the actuator’s home.
Incremental mode: Enter the distance to the target actuator position from
the current position by assuming a movement by
constant pitch feed.
(3) Speed
x Enter the speed at which the actuator will be moved, in [mm/sec].
The default value varies depending on the actuator type.
