12.7.8 Pre-reading start function
The "pre-reading start function" does not output pulses while the execution prohibition
flag is ON if a positioning start request is given with the execution prohibition flag ON,
and starts servo within 3ms after OFF of the execution prohibition flag is detected. The
positioning start request is given when the axis is in a standby status, and the
execution prohibition flag is turned OFF at the axis operating timing. This shortens the
virtual start time. The QD75 normally takes 6 to 7ms from when it receives a
positioning start request until it starts servo (start time). Some systems often need the
start time to be shortened. This "pre-reading start function" can improve the tact time of
the system.
The "pre-reading start function" will be explained below.

[1] Controls
The pre-reading start function is performed by turning ON the positioning start
signal [Y10, Y11, Y12, Y13] with the execution prohibition flag [Y14, Y15, Y16,
Y17] ON, or by executing the dedicated instruction (PSTRT1, PSTRT2, PSTRT3,
PSTRT4). However, if positioning is started with the execution prohibition flag
ON, the positioning data is analyzed but servo start is not provided. While the
execution prohibition flag is ON, "
Md.26
Axis operation status" remains
unchanged from "5: Analyzing". Pulse output starts within 3ms after the execution
prohibition flag [Y14, Y15, Y16, Y17] has turned OFF, and "
Md.26
Axis
operation status" changes to the status (e.g. during position control, during speed
control) that matches the control system. (Refer to Fig. 12.48)
