Q.If the JOG Operation command (+JOG, -JOG, FW-JOG-P, RV-JOG-P, etc.) is turned ON for a stepper motor, but the motor does not engage in continuous operation, what could be the reason?
JOG operation is a function for positioning by the travel amount set by the "JOG travel amount" parameter.
Therefore, continuous operation is not possible.
For continuous operation, input a signal for starting continuous operation (FWD input, RVS input).
Note
In the case of the AZ Series, the names of the I/O signals corresponding to JOG operation and continuous operation are different.
If you are using the AZ Series, refer to the following FAQ.
For stepper motors other than the AZ Series, refer to the following.
JOG Operation (+JOG input, -JOG input)
JOG operation is a function that performs positioning operation for travel amount set by the "JOG travel amount" parameter.
When the +JOG input is turned ON, JOG operation is performed in a + direction, and when the -JOG input is turned ON, JOG operation is performed in a - direction.
This function is useful for fine-tuning the position.

Continuous Operation (FWD input, RVS input)
While the FWD or RVS input is turned ON, the motor will run continuously.
Both FWD input and RVS input operate at the operating speed of the selected operation data number.
