(7) Positioning start (CSTR): Used in the position/simple direct mode 1,2 [PLC output signal]
The CSTR command is processed at the leading (ON) edge of the signal, upon which the actuator will move to
the position set by the target position corresponding to the specified position number or by the target position
channel of the PLC.
Whether to use the target position corresponding to the specified position number or the target position channel of
the PLC is determined by control signal b11 (position/simple-direct switching (PMOD) signal).
x PMOD = OFF: Use the target position data corresponding to the specified position number
x PMOD = ON: Use the value set to the target position channel of the PLC.
If this command is issued when no home-return operation has been performed yet after the power on (= while the
HEND signal is OFF), the actuator will automatically return home and then move to the target position.
Program the controller so that the CSTR signal will be turned OFF after the position complete (PEND) signal turns
OFF.
(8) Positioning command (DSTR): Used in the half direct mode and full direct mode 1 to 3
[PLC output signal]
The DSTR command is processed at the leading (ON) edge of the signal, upon which the actuator will move to
the target position input to the target position channel of the PLC. If this command is issued when no home-return
operation has been performed yet after the power on (= while the HEND signal is OFF), an alarm (operation-reset
alarm) will occur.
Program the controller so that this signal will be turned OFF after the position complete (PEND) signal turns OFF.
(9) Moving signal (MOVE) [PLC input signal]
This signal turns ON while the actuator slider or rod is moving (also while home-return operation, push-motion
operation or jog operation is in progress).
The MOVE signal turns OFF upon completion of positioning, home-return or push-motion operation or while the
actuator is paused.
