106In MINAS A4P, the following operations can be performed.The most basic operation. Specify a point number set in advance when performing the operation. The four types of modes are available, i.e., an incremental operation,absolute operation, rotary axis operation and dwell timer (waiting time). The motor can be moved in a positive direction or negative directionindependently. This is useful for teaching or adjustment. An operation to detect a home position which is the base of operation. The eight types of homing operations can be performed in A4P. Homing must be completed before performing the step operation etc. Also, homing can be disabled by setting a certain parameter. An active operation can be interrupted and canceled. Emergency stop: An operation stops in a deceleration time specified by aspecial parameter. Deceleration-and-stop: An operation stops in a deceleration time specifiedin an operation mode before the start of deceleration. Active operation can be stopped temporarily and restarted. Several step operations can be performed at a time. The two types of blockoperations below can be executed. Continuous block operation: Several step operations can be performedcontinuously. Once an operation starts, the operation continues to aspecified point number. Combined block operation: A step operation is performed according tocombined several point numbers. This is useful when you want to changethe speed during a step operation. A point number increments by 1 automatically whenever an operationcommand is given. A step operation can be performed easily only by turning the STB signalon/off. An operation can be performed smoothly by executing the start and end ofacceleration/deceleration gradually.Step operation .....P.107 Jog operation .....P.112 Homing operation .....P.114 Emergency stop/deceleration-and-stopoperation .....P.125 Temporary stop operation .....P.126 Block operation .....P.127 Sequential operation .....P.130 S-shaped acceleration/deceleration operation .....P.131• For how to set a step data or parameters, “Hot To Use Console” on page 80.• When setting the step parameters using “PANATERM ® ”, speed = V1 to V6, deceleration = A1 to A4 anddeceleration = D1 to D4 are shown. This instruction manual describes speed = VEL1 to VEL16, decelera-tion = ACC1 to ACC4 and deceleration = DEC1 to DEC4.Overview of Operation Setting
