  • Page 2: Safety Precautions

    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Please read these instructions before using this equipment.) Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals introduced in this manual carefully and pay full attention to safety to handle the product correctly. These precautions apply only to this product. Refer to the Users manual of the QCPU module to use for a description of the PLC system safety precautions.
  • Page 3 For Safe Operations 1. Prevention of electric shocks DANGER Never open the front case or terminal covers while the power is ON or the unit is running, as this may lead to electric shocks. Never run the unit with the front case or terminal cover removed. The high voltage terminal and charged sections will be exposed and may lead to electric shocks.
  • Page 4 3. For injury prevention CAUTION Do not apply a voltage other than that specified in the instruction manual on any terminal. Doing so may lead to destruction or damage. Do not mistake the terminal connections, as this may lead to destruction or damage. Do not mistake the polarity ( + / - ), as this may lead to destruction or damage.
  • Page 5 CAUTION The dynamic brakes must be used only on errors that cause the forced stop, emergency stop, or servo OFF. These brakes must not be used for normal braking. The brakes (electromagnetic brakes) assembled into the servomotor are for holding applications, and must not be used for normal braking.
  • Page 6 CAUTION Use the program commands for the program with the conditions specified in the instruction manual. Set the sequence function program capacity setting, device capacity, latch validity range, I/O assignment setting, and validity of continuous operation during error detection to values that are compatible with the system application.
  • Page 7 CAUTION The Motion controller, servo amplifier and servomotor are precision machines, so do not drop or apply strong impacts on them. Securely fix the Motion controller, servo amplifier and servomotor to the machine according to the instruction manual. If the fixing is insufficient, these may come off during operation. Always install the servomotor with reduction gears in the designated direction.
  • Page 8 (4) Wiring CAUTION Correctly and securely wire the wires. Reconfirm the connections for mistakes and the terminal screws for tightness after wiring. Failing to do so may lead to run away of the servomotor. After wiring, install the protective covers such as the terminal covers to the original positions. Do not install a phase advancing capacitor, surge absorber or radio noise filter (option FR-BIF) on the output side of the servo amplifier.
  • Page 9 (6) Usage methods CAUTION Immediately turn OFF the power if smoke, abnormal sounds or odors are emitted from the Motion controller, servo amplifier or servomotor. Always execute a test operation before starting actual operations after the program or parameters have been changed or after maintenance and inspection. Do not attempt to disassemble and repair the units excluding a qualified technician whom our company recognized.
  • Page 10 (7) Corrective actions for errors CAUTION If an error occurs in the self diagnosis of the Motion controller or servo amplifier, confirm the check details according to the instruction manual, and restore the operation. If a dangerous state is predicted in case of a power failure or product failure, use a servomotor with electromagnetic brakes or install a brake mechanism externally.
  • Page 11 CAUTION When replacing the Motion controller or servo amplifier, always set the new module settings correctly. When the Motion controller or absolute value motor has been replaced, carry out a home position return operation using one of the following methods, otherwise position displacement could occur. 1) After writing the servo data to the Motion controller using programming software, switch on the power again, then perform a home position return operation.
