1.2.1 Features of the Positioner Mode
In the positioner mode, one of five PIO patterns is selected using a parameter.
The number of positioning points and input/output functions vary depending on the PIO pattern selected.
The table below lists the parameter settings and corresponding PIO patterns, as well as the features of each PIO
pattern.
Parameter setting Features of PIO pattern
0 Positioning mode [Standard type]
64 positioning points are supported.
Available output functions include the moving output and zone output.
1 Teaching mode [Teaching type]
64 positioning points are supported.
Normal positioning operation can be performed, along with jogging via I/O operation
and writing of the current position to the position table.
The MODE input signal is used to switch between the normal positioning operation
mode and the teaching mode.
The zone output (set by parameters) and brake forced-release input accessible in the
standard type are not available in this type.
2 256-point mode [256-point type]
The moving output and zone output (set by parameters) accessible in the standard
type are not available in this type.
3 512-point mode [512-point type]
The moving output and zone output (set by parameters/position data) accessible in the
standard type are not available in this type.
4 Solenoid valve mode 1 [7-point type]
Seven positioning points are supported.
Direct command inputs and position complete outputs are provided separately for
different target positions to simulate air-cylinder control.
The moving output accessible in the standard type is not available in this type.
5 Solenoid valve mode 2 [3-point type]
Three positioning points are supported.
The function of position complete output signals is different from how these signals
function in the 7-point type.
The “position detection” function, which operates just like an auto-switch of an air
cylinder, is also available.
Take note that incremental positioning commands are not supported in this mode.
