Preface
This manual explains how to install and configure the Linear Positioning
Module. It includes sample application programs to illustrate how to program a
PLC to work with the Linear Positioning Module.
This manual contains eleven chapters and nine appendices that address the
following topics:
Chapter Title Describes:
1 Introducing the Linear Positioning
Module
the functions and features of the Linear Positioning
Module
2 Positioning Concepts concepts and principles of closedloop servo
positioning
3 Positioning with the Linear
Positioning Module
using the Linear Positioning Module in a positioning
system
4 Hardware Description module hardware, module interfaces, and other
hardware items you need for a positioning system
