Automatic Operation (Position Control)8-28.1 Basic Operation8.1.1 Patterns of Position Control• The automatic operation is an operation mode to be perform a position control. For theposition control, there are a single axis control and an interpolation control that starts andstops multiple axes simultaneously.• For the operaions of position controls, there are E-point, P-point and C-point controls whichare performed regardless of single axis control or interpolation axis control. Also, there is J-point control which is activated only by the single axis control. The operation patterns ofeach control are as follows. Operation patternName Time chart Operation and application RepeatInter-pola-tionE-point controltfE This is a method of control which isinitiated up to an end point, and iscalled “E-point control". This method is used for a single-speed acceleration/deceleration. P-point controltfP EtfP EP This refers to control which passesthrough a “Pass Point”, and is called“P-point control”. This method is used for performingacceleration/deceleration by two-speed control or more. After the P-point control isperformed for a specified movementamount, it shifts to the E-point control. The last table should be set to E:End point. C-point controltfC EtfC EC This refers to control which passesthrough a “Continuance Point”, and iscalled "C-point control”. This method is used for performingtwo successive single-speedpositioning control with different targetspeeds or acceleration/decelerationtimes. The time taken until the operationshifts to the next table is specified asa dwell time. The last table should be set to E:End point.
