Operation
Follow the procedures and instructions in the user's manuals for the relevant Machine Control-
lers to perform normal operation and trial operation.
Operating mistakes while the Servomotor and machine are connected may damage the machine or
even cause accidents resulting in injury or death.
Implement interlock signals and other safety circuits external to the Machine Controller to
ensure safety in the overall system even if the following conditions occur.
• Machine Controller failure or errors caused by external factors
• Shutdown of operation due to Machine Controller detection of an error in self-diagnosis and the sub-
sequent turning OFF or holding of output signals
• Holding of the ON or OFF status of outputs from the Machine Controller due to fusing or burning of
output relays or damage to output transistors
• Voltage drops from overloads or short-circuits in the 24-V output from the Machine Controller and the
subsequent inability to output signals
• Unexpected outputs due to errors in the power supply, I/O, or memory that cannot be detected by
the Machine Controller through self-diagnosis.
There is a risk of injury, device damage, or burning.
Observe the setting methods that are given in the manual for the following parameters.
• Parameters for absolute position detection when the axis type is set to a finite-length axis
• Parameters for simple absolute infinite-length position control when the axis type is set to an infinite-
length axis
If any other methods are used, offset in the current position when the power supply is turned OFF
and ON again may result in device damage.
OL48 (Zero Point Position Offset in Machine Coordinate System) is always valid when the
axis type is set to a finite-length axis. Do not change the setting of OL48 while the
Machine Controller is operating.
There is a risk of machine damage or an accident.
