5.13.1 Cautions when using Positioning Instructions
The following positioning instructions are application instructions that can be used many times
in a program.
When designing a program, make sure to follow the cautions outlined below with regard to
instruction drive timing.
FNC 156 (ZRN)
FNC 157 (PLSV)
FNC 158 (DRVI)
FNC 159 (DRVA)
• Do not drive positioning instructions which use the same output relay (Y000 or Y001) at
the same time. If such instructions are driven at the same time, they will be treated as
double coils, and not function correctly.
• Before setting a drive contact ON after is has been set to OFF be sure that the following
condition is satisfied;
One or more operation cycles of the ‘pulse output monitor (Y000:M8147, Y001:M8148)’
must occour after the positioning instruction is turned OFF, before it can be used again.
This condition must be met, as one or more OFF operations are required for the re-
driving of a positioning instruction.
If it is not met, and ‘operation error’ will occour during the instruction execution.
• Use the Step Ladder Program to correctly set up positioning instructions in conformance
to the cautions above.
Caution when using Positioning instructions with FNC 57 (PLSY) & FNC 59 (PLSR)
• Pulse output instructions FNC 57 (PLSY) & FNC 59 (PLSR) use output points Y000 and
Y001 in the same way as the positioning instructions described above.
• If a positioning and a pulse output instruction are used in the same operation, the
conflicting instructions will be treated as double coils and not function correctly.
• It is recommended to use a FNC 158 (DRVI) instruction in place of either a FNC 57
(PLSY) or FNC 59 (PLSR) instruction to avoid incorrect operation when pulse outputs
are required while positioning instructions are being used.
Output terminals Y000 and Y001 are high speed response type
Voltage range : 5 to 24V DC
Current range : 10 to 100mA
Output frequency : 100kHz or less
