Inching operation
In inching operation, pulses are output to the servo amplifier at operation cycle to
move the workpiece by a designated movement amount after the forward run JOG
start signal or reverse JOG start signal is turned ON.

The following shows the example of inching operation.
1)
When the start signal is turned ON, inching operation is carried out in the direction
designated by the start signal. In this case, BUSY signal is turned from OFF to ON.
2)
The workpiece is moved by a movement amount set in "[Cd.16] Inching movement
amount".
3)
The workpiece movement stops when the speed becomes "0". In this case, BUSY signal
is turned from ON to OFF. The positioning complete signal is turned from OFF to ON.
4)
The positioning complete signal is turned from ON to OFF after a time set in "[Pr.40]
Positioning complete signal output time" has been elapsed.
