Warning: (1) In home return incomplete state, software limit cannot stop the actuator. Take interlock and prohibit the operation or perform the operation carefully. (2) If the JISL signal is changed during inching operation, the inching being operated is continued. If JISL is changed during job operation, the jog is stopped.
Page 223
Caution: (1) Set the period taken from entering position No. to turning the PWRT ON to 6ms or longer. In spite of 6ms timer process in the PLC, commands may be input to the controller concurrently to cause writing to another position. Take the scanning time in the PLC into account, set a period as 2 to 4 times as the scanning time.
Page 224
Control method Pause is possible during movement. In addition, the remaining moving distance can be cancelled to interrupt the operation. The pause signal is an input signal always set to ON. So, it is normally used to remain ON. Use this function for interlock in case where an object is invaded into the moving direction of the actuator being moved.

5.3 Adjustment Refer to the following when performing an adjustment. 1) Adjustment Range : Avoid the acceleration range, which requires high current”, and set the range with possibility that collision can occur. 2) Detection Current Value : Considering the movement velocity and weight of a work piece, set a low value in the range that detection mistake would not occur.
Chapter 6 Power-saving Function 6.1 Automatic Servo-off and Full Servo Functions This controller possesses Automatic Servo OFF (setting available on all motor types) and Full Servo functions (for pulse motor type only) to reduce the power consumption while the actuator is stopped.
Caution: When an operation is made with jog or inching while in operation with the full servo function, the full servo function will be inactivated. If a movement is made again on the position number that the full servo function is set valid, the full servo function will be activated.
6.1.3 Status of positioning complete signal in selection of automatic servo OFF Automatic servo OFF causes the actuator to be in other than the positioning complete state due to the servo OFF. Positioning complete signal (PEND) is turned OFF. Changing the PEND signal to the in-position signal judging whether the actuator is stopped within the positioning width zone instead of the positioning complete signal allows PEND not to be turned OFF during servo OFF.
Feature dedicated for pulse motor type 6.2 Selecting Automatic Current Reduction Feature (Note 1) When performing a complete stop in the positioning, the current flows in constant amount regardless of the size of the external force in a normal condition (without using the automatic current reduction feature).
6.2.1 Process When Feature is Active The same process as the existing complete stop feature will be performed until the current flow volume reaches the current limit value at the positioning stop (parameter). The condition will be retained until the target position deviation becomes zero after finishing the stopping current flow.

Pressing Force/Gripping Force and Current Limit Value Caution • The correlation of the pressing force and the current limit value is the rated pressing speed (in the setting at the delivery) and is a reference value. • Use the actuator with the setting above the minimum pressing force value. The pressing force will be unstable if it is below the minimum pressing force value.
