[Control Details]
Control Using START Instruction
(1) Simultaneously start the designated servo programs.
(2) Any servo program can be designated, except the simultaneous start (START
instruction) servo program.
(3) Up to 3 servo programs can be designated.
(4) After the simultaneous start, each axis is controlled by the designated servo
program.
[Cautions]
(1) A check is made at the simultaneous start. An error occurs and operation does
not start in the cases shown in the table below.

(2) The servo programs cannot be designated for the START instruction using indi-
rect designation.
(3) If the servo programs designated for the START instruction include fixed-pitch
feed control or speed/position switching control, start may be delayed a maxi-
mum of 1 second compared to other speed control or position control.
