Part 2 Programs

15. Pausing the Operation


Description


Use a declaration command HOLD to pause the moving axis temporarily via external input.

How to Use


A pause interruption operation can be executed to a moving axis (to decelerate the axis to a stop) by
declaring a HOLD command within the program.
While HOLD is input, the actuator pauses (decelerates to a stop, if currently moving) against all moving
commands in the same program.

Example of Use


HOLD 15

A declaration to execute pause if general-purpose input 15 turns ON.
















Application


You can specify a global flag, instead of an input port, in Operand 1 of the HOLD command.
Use of a global flag allows the actuator to be paused from other program.
The input signal pattern and stop action can be selected using Operand 2.

0 = Contact a (Decelerates to a stop)

 Same as when Operand 2 is not specified.

1 = Contact b (Decelerates to a stop)
2 = Contact b (Decelerates to a stop, and then servo OFF

 The drive power is not cut off.)






Caution


If the actuator is paused during homing, it will start the homing sequence from the beginning upon restart.
