7.3 Controller modes Controller modes are divided into two types, auto mode and manual mode. There are several status types in one mode. The figure below shows how the status changes. Supply power Auto mode Manual mode Switching of mode SW Jog / Waiting Waiting...
(A) Before return to origin The transition of the status before return to origin is shown below. After turning on the power supply, the controller status is in waiting mode which is set by mode switch (e). The operation of jog / inching at manual mode is available before retuning to origin.
(B) Auto mode after return to origin The status of the auto mode after return to origin is shown below. At auto mode, only the operation command from I/O such as PLC is accepted. Basically, position, operation method, speed and acceleration cannot be adjusted in auto mode.
(C) Manual mode after retun to origin The status of the manual mode after return to origin is shown below. In manual mode, return to origin is controlled by the operation of the controller buttons and switches. The speed and acceleration can be adjusted any time.
7.4 Test function The table below shows the difference between normal operation and test function in manual mode. To start the test function, set the position switch (h) to "0" while the power LED (a) is on (= servo ON) in manual mode and the actuator stops, and press the set button (g) for 3 seconds.

8.4 Jog / inching operation Jog / inching is available by pressing forward button (i) or reverse button (j) at manual mode. Jog / inching can be performed before return to origin. Operation method Inching starts and stops by pressing forward button (i) or reverse button (j). When the button is pressed continuously for 1 second or longer after inching is completed, the jog operation starts.
8.5 Servo ON Servo ON signal is not assigned to the parallel I/O of this controller. The power supply LED (a) changes from a flashing light to a solid light after a specific period of time after power supply and the servo turns on.
8.7 LED display in auto mode The 7-segment LED (f) in auto mode displays position number during operation (or operation completion) and alarm group when alarm is generated (ALM LED lights up). ALM LED (b) PWR LED (a) 7-segment LED (f) display Controller status (Red) (Green)
9.2 Pushing operation e.g.) If the operation pattern is Position No. 3 --> Position No. 4 --> Position No. 3 --> Position No. 5: Forward: Speed 5, acceleration 3 (Switch value) Actuator end Reverse: Speed 9, acceleration 7 (Switch value) Position No.
9.3 Stoppage during operation e.g.) Position No. 6 -> Stop by inputting the RESET signal while the actuator is traveling to position No. 7 -> Position No. 8 -> Stop by inputting the STOP signal while the actuator is traveling to position No.

If abnormal heating, smoking or fire, etc., occurs in the product, immediately shut off the power supply. Immediately stop operation if abnormal operation noise or vibration occurs. If abnormal operation noise or vibration occurs, the product may have been mounted incorrectly. Unless operation of the product is stopped for inspection, the product can be seriously damaged.
[Unpackaging] Caution 1. Verify that the received product is as ordered. If a different product is installed, other than that ordered, injury or damage can result. 14.4 Operating environment Warning Avoid use in the following environments. a. Locations where a large amount of dust or cutting chips are airborne. b.
14.5 Maintenance Warning Do not disassemble or repair the product. Fire or electric shock can result. Before modifying or checking the wiring, the voltage should be checked with a tester 5 minutes after the power supply is turned off. Electric shock can result. Caution Maintenance should be performed according to the procedure indicated in the Operating Manual.
15. Controller and its peripheral devices / Specific product precautions 15.1 Design and selection Warning 1. Be sure to apply the specified voltage. Otherwise, a malfunction and breakage of the controller may be caused. If the applied voltage is lower than the specified, it is possible that the load cannot be moved due to an internal voltage drop.
8. Check the voltage using a tester for more than 5 minute after power-off in case of installation, wiring and maintenance. There is a possibility of getting electric shock, fire and injury. 9.
