5. OPERATIONAL FUNCTIONS
5.3.2 Start operation method
Start operation is performed according to the following procedure.
(1) Set up the point table.
(2) Set the start point number and the end point number.
(3) Turn on the automatic operation mode signal (AUT).
(4) Turn on the fast start operation signal (FST).
POINT
For stoppage of operation mid way, turn on the stop operation signal (STP).
The operation point number can be checked in the operation point number of
the axis status table (same as monitor No.030A).
The point number starts from 0.
The point table is a total of 320 points for all axes. The number of points
distributed to each axis can be adjusted using the point number offset. For
details, refer to Section 10.8.
API LIBRARY
Use the sscSetPointDataEx function to set up point table in (1) above.
Use the sscAutoStart function to perform procedures (2) to (4) above.
Use the sscGetDriveFinStatus or sscWaitIntDriveFin functions to check
completion of operation.
Use the sscDriveStop or sscDriveStopNoWait functions to perform stop
operation.
Use the sscSetPointOffset/sscCheckPointOffset functions to set/get point
number offset.
For a detailed procedure from startup of automatic operation to check
completion of operation, refer to the sample programs
(InterruptDrive/PollingDrive) contained on the utility software.
