(4) Test run Check the registered positions by operating the electric actuator with the controller button and switch operation. The test operation procedure is as follows. 1) Rotate the position switch (h) to the position number to be tested. 2) Confirm that the 7-segment LED (f) flashes at the specified position number.
(7) Intermediate position setting In the manual mode after return to origin, the position can be registered by the following 2 methods. (A) Position setting by Jog operation and Inching operation. Method to register the electric actuator slider position by Jog or Inching operation. The following is an example of registering a position in position number 3.
Page 33
3) Move to the position to be registered with the Jog or Inching operation using the Forward button (i) or Reverse button (j). Inching starts by pressing either the Forward button (i) or Reverse button (j). Jog starts by holding down either the Forward button (i) or Reverse button (j).
Page 34
(B) Setting by direct teaching (Ex. Position switch initial value [4]) Method to register the electric actuator slider position by moving the slider by hand. The method below is an example of how to register the position to position number 3. 1) Press the Forward button (i) and Reverse button (j) simultaneously for 3 seconds or longer until the flashing state of 7-segment LED changes to the on state.
Page 35
4) Move the electric actuator slider to the position to register slowly using external force. 5) Keep pressing the set button (g) from the flashing state of the 7-segment LED (f) until it remains on, for registration of the position. If you perform procedure (4) Test run before performing return to origin, an alarm is generated (7-segment LED(f) displays [A] and alarm LED (b) will turn on).
7.2 Setting of the speed and the acceleration The speed and the acceleration can be set by using switch (k) to (n) in each driving direction. This setting of the speed and the acceleration applies to the driving of all position number.
7.3 Setting parameters In manual mode, it is possible to set parameters. The 3 parameters below can be set and changed. Parameters Description of Value and the content of parameters parameters Change the direction of the return to origin and forward and reverse Reference for Value Description...

2) Press and hold the Forward button (i) and Reverse button (j) simultaneously for 3 seconds so that the power supply LED (a) is changed from a solid light to a flashing. 3) Set the value of the position switch (h) to "0" and press and hold the set button (g) for 3 seconds.
Page 39
5) Push set button (g) the 7-segment LED(f) displays the set value of the parameter without a dot. If the value of the position switch (h) is changed at this stage, it will return to the state of 4) above. 6) Press the set button (g) for 2 seconds or longer to change the 7-segment LED(f) from on to flashing state.
8. Operations 8.1 Return to origin Origin return is necessary after turning on the power supply in this controller. By recognizing the stroke end by return to the origin, positioning operation of the electric actuator becomes possible. (1) Return to origin operation When power is supplied to the controller, the first command to move toward the stroke end is recognized as the return to origin command.
(2) How to command the return to origin Only when the following two conditions are satisfied, it is possible to command the return to origin. · Stroke study has been completed before. · It must be immediately after turning on the controller. Return to origin command is an operation command to the first stroke end after turning on the power supply.
8.2 Positioning operation Accelerate to the set speed with the acceleration set for Speed each movement direction Set speed When the set speed is reached, it moves at constant speed. Position At the target position, decelerate at the acceleration set for each direction, and stop at the target position.
8.3 Jog operation / inching operation Jog operation and Inching operation can be operated in manual mode. (1) Jog operation The electric actuator moves to the specified direction while the button is pressed. It stops when the button is released. This operation is available before return to origin is performed.
8.4 Servo ON Servo ON signal is not assigned to the parallel I/O of this controller. When the power supply is supplied to controller, “Servo on” is automatically commanded in the controller. At this time, when the alarm is not generated, the electric actuator becomes the servo on state after a few seconds. (Just after the motor power is applied, it may take up to 10 seconds for ALARM output depending on the electric actuator position.) When the electric actuator becomes the servo on state normally, Power...
