Abstract
Abstract A positioning control apparatus comprises a plurality of servo mechanisms corresponding to respective axes, a sequence operation part for successively outputting start commands for the respective servo mechanisms, a positioning operation part for storing a plurality of programs specified in accordance with the start commands and for processing the program in accordance with specified one of the programs to thereby output a positioning control command, and a servo interface for supplying the positioning control command to one of the servo mechanisms to be actuated to start.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
A position control apparatus for positioning in multi-axis coordinates having a plurality of servo mechanisms corresponding to said multi-axis, said position control apparatus comprising: sequence operation means for storing a sequence program and for successively outputting start commands for said respective servo mechanisms; a single position operation means for storing a plurality of position programs to be designated in accordance with said start commands and for processing said program in accordance with designated one of said programs to thereby output a position control command; and servo interfaces for transmitting said position control command and actuating one of said servo mechanisms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
A position control apparatus for positioning in multi-axis coordinates having a plurality of servo mechanisms corresponding to said multi-axis, said position control apparatus comprising: sequence operation means for storing a sequence program and for successively outputting start commands for said respective servo mechanisms; a single position operation means for storing a plurality of position programs to be designated in accordance with said start commands and for processing said program in accordance with designated one of said programs to thereby output a position control command; and servo interfaces for transmitting said position control command and actuating one of said servo mechanisms.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
The position control apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said servo interfaces issues said position control command in the form of at least on of a digital value, a pulse train value and a voltage value.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
The position control apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein each of said servo interfaces has a circuit for converting the position control command from the position operation means into at least one of a pulse train value and a voltage value.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
53 words
The position control apparatus as claimed in claim 3, in the case of issuance of the command in the form of the voltage value, wherein said servo interface further has a deviation counter for adding a quantity of movement supplied every fixed time from said single position control means and a digital-to-analog converter.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
The position control apparatus as claimed in claim 2 further comprising a peripheral equipment interface and a peripheral equipment connected to said peripheral equipment interface, said peripheral equipment including a monitor display for monitoring and a keyboard for programming.
