79 Rotary axis mode selection ATYP –
0: Normal Mode
1: Index Mode
In accordance with
actuator
This parameter defines the mode of the rotational axis.
When the axis operation type (Parameter No.78) is set to “Rotary Axis” and the index mode is
selected, the current value indication is fixed to “0 to 359.99”. When the index mode is selected,
the short course control is enabled.
Set Value Description
0 Normal Mode
1 Index Mode
� The index mode cannot be specified for actuators of absolute specification.
(Note) With the rotational axes RS-30/60 and RCS2-RTC8L/RTC8HL/RTC10//RTC12L, the
factory setting is “1” (index mode).
With the rotational axes RCS2-RT6/RT6R/RT7/RT7R, the factory setting is “0” (normal
mode).
Caution: Do not change the setting of this parameter. Failure to follow this may cause
an alarm or fault to occur.
Caution: When it is set to “Index Mode”, the push & hold operation is not available.
Even when data is entered in the “Push & Hold” data box in the Position Data,
it becomes invalid and normal operation is performed. The positioning width
becomes the parameter’s default value for the positioning width.
