8. Operation methods
8.1 Outline
Two types of operation method are available for this product. The first method is “Operation by Step No.”.
When using this method, step data stored in the product can be driven by sending specific commands
over the network. The second method is “Operation by numerical instruction”. When using this method
the numerical data (e.g. Position, speed etc.) is changed based on the already set step data.
8.2 Operation by Step No.
The function of this mode is to read/write the memory bits corresponding to the input/output port signals
(e.g. DRIVE, INP) using a master (PLC) on the PROFINET network.
When an operation is based on the preset step data, select the step data No. from the PROFINET
communication output data bits then activate the DRIVE signal.
Refer to 13.2 Operation procedure for Operation by Step No. (P.52).
8.3 Position/speed monitor
Reads the current position and current speed for monitoring.
Refer to 9. Memory map (P.30) for the current position and speed.
8.4 Operation by numerical instruction
When numerical data relating to the actuator speed, position etc. is sent, the actuator will execute this
data provided it is within the allowable range of values.
For the JXCP1 controller, it is possible to instruct all step data items (operation method, speed, position,
acceleration, deceleration, pushing force, switch point, pushing speed, positioning thrust, area 1, area 2,
positioning width) by numeric values.
Preparatory operations such as turning the servo on and performing a return to origin are required
before the actuator may execute step data or numerical data.
Refer to 13.3 Operation procedure for operation by numerical instruction (P.57).
