[2] Precautions during control
(1) If the movement amount designated by the positioning data is small when
the continuous path control is executed, the output speed may not reach the
designated speed.
(2) The movement direction is not checked during interpolation operation.
Therefore, a deceleration stops are not carried out even if the movement
direction changes. (See below) For this reason, the output will suddenly
reverse when the reference axis movement direction changes. To prevent
the sudden output reversal, assign not the continuous path control "11", but
the continuous positioning control "01" to the positioning data of the passing
point.
