(4) Setting of position and operation method At the manual mode after returning to origin, position can be set by (A) Jog / inching or (B) Direct teaching. Example) Setting of position number 3 (A) Setting by Jog / inching 1) Set the position switch (h) to the required position ("3"...
Page 30
3) Perform Jog / inching using Forward button (i) and Reverse button (j) to move to required position. Inching starts by pressing either Forward button (i) or Reverse button (j). Jog starts by keeping pressing either Forward button (i) or Reverse button (j).Refer to “8.4 Jog / inching operation”...
Page 31
6) Press button (g) for 2 seconds to set the operation method. When this operation completes, the position set in 7-segment LED (f) is displayed. When the position is registered and set button (g) is released, 7-segment LED (f) flashes quickly. Positioning by Jog / inching completed.
Page 32
(B) Setting by direct teaching (Ex. Position switch initial value "4") 1) Pressing Forward button (i) and Reverse button (j) simultaneously for 3 seconds, then the power supply LED (a) will be changed from solid light to flashing and 7-segment LED (f) will be changed a flashing to a solid light.
Page 33
4) Move the electric actuator to required position with external force. Lock in the position by pressing the set button (g). At this point, the position is not stored. If the power supply is cut, it is necessary to started from procedure (1) Supply of power.
Page 34
6) Press set button (g) for 2 seconds to set the operation method. Once this operation is completed, the position and the operation method are stored in the controller, and position number lights up on the 7-segment LED (f). That is all for the setting by direct teaching. To set other positions continuously, start from the step (2) Changes to Manual mode.
(5) Test run Use the controller buttons and switches to confirm the operating method and position. Operation method is as follows. (f) (e) 1) Set the required position number using the position switch (h). 2) Confirm that the position number set is displayed by the 7-segment LED (f) and flashes quickly.

(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 retun 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 (f) (e) 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 lights up (= Servo ON) in manual mode and the electric actuator stops, and press the set button (g) for 3 seconds.
