6.5.2 Reading the CSV format file
PURPOSE
GX Configurator-AP allows CSV format files created with spreadsheet software or
the like to be read as positioning data (axis #1 to #3). (Parameters and start block
data cannot be read.)
The creating method and reading operation of CSV format data are described
below.
• If all items that make up positioning data have not been entered, CSV format data
cannot be read, resulting in an error.
• Since CSV format data is read axis-by-axis, create CSV format data noting which
axis (#1/#2/#3) data is being created.
(1) CSV format data creating method
The following sheet indicates the items and values of CSV format data set on a
column basis. It should be noted that you cannot set the interpolation axis and
circular addresses for interpolation control.
