Single Axes
Single-Axis 
Position Control
Absolute 
Positioning
Positioning is performed for a target position that is specified with an absolute 
value.
Relative Positioning
Positioning is performed for a specified travel distance from the command 
current position.
Interrupt Feeding
Positioning is performed for a specified travel distance from the position 
where an interrupt input was received from an external input.
Cyclic Synchronous 
Absolute 
Positioning
A positioning command is output each control period in Position Control 
Mode.
Single-axis 
Velocity Control
Velocity Control Velocity control is performed in Position Control Mode.
Cyclic Synchronous 
Velocity Control
A velocity command is output each control period in Velocity Control Mode.
Single-axis 
Torque Control
Torque Control The torque of the motor is controlled.
Single-axis 
Synchronized 
Control
Starting Cam 
Operation
A cam motion is performed using the specified cam table.
Ending Cam 
Operation
The cam motion for the axis that is specified with the input parameter is 
ended.
Starting Gear 
Operation
A gear motion with the specified gear ratio is performed between a master 
axis and slave axis.
Positioning Gear 
Operation
A gear motion with the specified gear ratio and sync position is performed 
between a master axis and slave axis.
Ending Gear 
Operation
The specified gear motion or positioning gear motion is ended.
Synchronous 
Positioning
Positioning is performed in sync with a specified master axis.
Master Axis Phase 
Shift
The phase of a master axis in synchronized control is shifted.
Combining Axes
The command positions of two axes are added or subtracted and the result is 
output as the command position.
Single-axis 
Manual Operation
Powering the Servo The Servo in the Servo Drive is turned ON to enable axis motion.
Jogging An axis is jogged at a specified target velocity.
Auxiliary 
Functions for 
Single-axis 
Control
Resetting Axis 
Errors
Axes errors are cleared.
Homing
A motor is operated and the limit signals, home proximity signal, and home 
signal are used to define home.
Homing with 
specified 
parameters
The parameters are specified, the motor is operated, and the limit signals, 
home proximity signal, and home signal are used to define home.
High-speed Homing Positioning is performed for an absolute target position of 0 to return to home.
Stopping An axis is decelerated to a stop.
Immediately 
Stopping
An axis is stopped immediately.
Setting Override 
Factors
The target velocity of an axis can be changed.
Changing the 
Current Position
The command current position or actual current position of an axis can be 
changed to any position.
Enabling External 
Latches
The position of an axis is recorded when a trigger occurs.
Disabling External 
Latches
The current latch is disabled.
Zone Monitoring
You can monitor the command position or actual position of an axis to see 
when it is within a specified range (zone).
Enabling Digital 
Cam Switches
You can turn a digital output ON and OFF according to the position of an axis
Monitoring Axis 
Following Error
You can monitor whether the difference between the command positions or 
actual positions of two specified axes exceeds a threshold value.
Resetting the 
Following Error
The error between the command current position and actual current position 
is set to 0.
Torque Limit
The torque control function of the Servo Drive can be enabled or disabled and 
the torque limits can be set to control the output torque.
Command Position 
Compensation
The function which compensate the position for the axis in operation.
Start Velocity  You can set the initial velocity when axis motion starts.
