Three Major Control Operating Modes
Positioning Mode: Supports multi-segment positioning programs, electronic gearing, origin return, relative/absolute positioning, used for precise opening of valves, actuator stroke, and fixed-point control of conveying mechanisms
Speed Mode: Analog or bus setpoint for rotational speed, stable speed control operation
Torque Mode: Tension control, constant torque winding/unwinding scenarios
Built-in Protection Functions
Overcurrent, overload, overvoltage, undervoltage, overheating, encoder break, motor phase sequence error, grounding short circuit protection
Local fault code indicator lights for local alarm, fault records can be read through the upper-level bus for easy fault traceability
Supports software limit + hardware limit dual safety protection to prevent mechanism from over-travel damage

Core Product Features
Industrial-grade closed-loop positioning, positioning repeatability accuracy can reach ±1 encoder pulse, widely used in process industry for precise regulation of actuator mechanisms
Built-in multi-segment positioning program storage, can complete multi-station sequential actions independently without an upper-level PLC
Supports multi-drive bus networking, one PLC can control multiple FX-316 for synchronous actions
Wide voltage, wide temperature reinforced design, suitable for long-term 7×24-hour operation in industrial sites with strong interference such as power plants, chemical plants, and metallurgy
Panel status indicator lights: real-time display of servo ready, running, fault, communication, and limit status, facilitating rapid maintenance and troubleshooting
