checked quickly.

toolbar. The following dialog is shown.
The followings are the operations that are selectable in the tool operation.
Home return

Positioning
Operate from the starting table number according to the settings of the data stored in the positioning unit.
JOG operation
The specified axis can be moved to the specified direction with the specified speed, while the operation
command is on.
Teaching
Control the axis manually using the same operation as the JOG operation, and reflect the resulting
positioning address on the data editing screen.
Note:
It is not possible to change the mode to the tool operation mode during the ladder operation of PLC.
If any communication error occurs during the tool operation, the positioning unit detects the error and
stops automatically.
If the previous tool operation did not finish properly due to a communication error, etc., the tool operation
