I’m fairly new to PLC programming. This is our first machine that uses an FX5 PLC rather than an FX3, and therefore GX Works3 instead of GX Works2. I LOVE the much better programming environment, but I’m having some difficulty setting up servo motion properly.
The servos are set up for pulse and direction signals. In GX Works2, I’d do something like this:
In GX Work3, there isn’t an output for direction in the function block, it’s something that presumably is supposed to be configured. But that isn’t working. Both positive and negative values cause the servo to move in the same direction. So I'm doing this. It's awful, I know.
This is how I have the servos set up in High Speed IO.
Could anyone offer advice as to what I'm doing wrong?
