Name Pulse output unit
Number of axes 1 axis 2 axis 4 axis
I/O signals External inputs: 2 general-pur-
pose inputs / External outputs: 3
(forward direction pulse, reverse
direction pulse and a general-
purpose outputs)
Inputs: 5 per axis. External inputs
*1
Outputs: 5 per axis (forward direction pulse, reverse direction pulse
and 3 external outputs per channel
*2
)
*1. You can use the external input 0 as a latch input.
*2. You can use the external output 0 as an error counter reset output.
Control method Open-loop control through pulse
train output
Open-loop control through pulse string output
Controlled drive Servo drive with a pulse train
input or a stepper motor drive
Servo drive with a pulse string input or a stepper motor drive
Pulse output form Open collector output Line driver output
Control unit Pulses
Maximum pulse output speed 500 kpps 4 Mpps
Pulse output method Forward/reverse direction pulse
outputs or pulse + direction
outputs
Forward/reverse direction pulse outputs, pulse + direction outputs
or phase differential pulse output multiplication x1/2/4
Position control range –2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 pulses
Velocity control range 1 to 500,000 pps 1 to 4,000,000 pps
Positioning
*3
*3. These functions are supported when you also use the MC function module in the NJ-series CPU unit. Refer to the NJ-series CPU unit motion control user’s manual
(Cat.No. W507) for details. A pulse output unit only outputs pulses during the control period based on commands received at a fixed period. Target position calcu-
lations (distribution calculations) for acceleration/deceleration control or for each control period must be performed on the controller that is connected as the host.
Single-axis position control Absolute positioning, relative positioning and interrupt feeding
Single-axis velocity control Velocity control (velocity feeding in position control mode)
Single-axis synchronized control Cam operation and gear operation
Single-axis manual operation Jogging
Auxiliary function for single-axis control Homing, stopping and override changes
