Panasonic A4P Series User Manual

In 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 direction 
independently.
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 a 
special parameter.
Deceleration-and-stop: An operation stops in a deceleration time specified 
in 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 block 
operations below can be executed.
Continuous block operation: Several step operations can be performed 
continuously. Once an operation starts, the operation continues to a 
specified point number.
Combined block operation: A step operation is performed according to 
combined several point numbers. This is useful when you want to change 
the speed during a step operation.

A point number increments by 1 automatically whenever an operation 
command is given.
A step operation can be performed easily only by turning the STB signal 
on/off.

An operation can be performed smoothly by executing the start and end of 
acceleration/deceleration gradually.
