  • Page 3: Safety Precautions

    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Read these precautions before using this product.) Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals carefully and pay full attention to safety to handle the product correctly. In this manual, the safety precautions are classified into two levels: " WARNING"...
  • Page 4 [Design Precautions] WARNING ● Configure safety circuits external to the programmable controller to ensure that the entire system operates safely even when a fault occurs in the external power supply or the programmable controller. Failure to do so may result in an accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction. (1) Emergency stop circuits, protection circuits, and protective interlock circuits for conflicting operations (such as forward/reverse rotations or upper/lower limit positioning) must be configured external to the programmable controller.
  • Page 5 [Design Precautions] WARNING ● When changing data from a peripheral device connected to the CPU module during operation, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire system will always operate safely. For other forms of control (such as program modification or operating status change) of a running programmable controller, read the relevant manuals carefully and ensure that the operation is safe before proceeding.
  • Page 6 [Installation Precautions] WARNING ● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing a module. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction. [Installation Precautions] CAUTION ●...
  • Page 7 [Wiring Precautions] CAUTION ● Individually ground the FG terminal of the programmable controller with a ground resistance of 100 or less. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction. ● Use applicable solderless terminals and tighten them within the specified torque range. If any spade solderless terminal is used, it may be disconnected when a terminal block screw comes loose, resulting in failure.
  • Page 8 [Startup and Maintenance Precautions] WARNING ● Do not touch any terminal while power is on. Doing so will cause electric shock or malfunction. ● Correctly connect the battery connector. Do not charge, disassemble, heat, short-circuit, solder, or throw the battery into the fire. Also, do not expose it to liquid or strong shock. Doing so will cause the battery to produce heat, explode, ignite, or leak, resulting in injury and fire.

For the OPR dwell time, set a value equal to or greater than the moving time after the near-point dog turns on until the axis stops at the stopper.

  • Page 73: Machine Opr

    CHAPTER 7 POSITIONING FUNCTION 7.6.1 Machine OPR The machine OPR establishes the machine OP using the OPR start instruction (IPOPR1(P)). ( Page 146, Section 7.12.1 (4)) Once the machine OPR is complete, the mechanically established position becomes the "OP" which defines the starting point of positioning control.
  • Page 74 Important ■OPR direction The direction of the OP must always be the same when viewed from any arbitrary position in the moving area of the workpiece (= the OP must be positioned near the upper limit or lower limit of the machine). Set the OPR direction correctly so that the workpiece moves toward the OP.
  • Page 75 CHAPTER 7 POSITIONING FUNCTION (3) Operations of near-point dog method and precautions Under the near-point dog method, machine OPR completes when a zero signal is input after the near-point dog has turned off. The following operations take place. Operation step Description of operation Machine OPR starts upon execution of the OPR start instruction (IPOPR1(P)).
  • Page 76 (a) Required pulse generator Use a pulse generator with zero signal. If a pulse generator without zero signal is used, generate a zero signal using an external signal. (b) Near-point dog length The near-point dog length should be equal to or longer than the distance moved by the axis as it decelerates from the OPR speed to creep speed.
  • Page 77 CHAPTER 7 POSITIONING FUNCTION (c) Advantages of using limit switches The following functions can be used when the upper and lower limit signals are selected: • OPR retry function When machine OPR is started in a position indicated as interval A (where the near-point dog is turned off and no near-point dog is found in the OPR direction) in the figure below, the axis continues to operate at the OPR speed until reaching the limit switch of the machine system because it cannot detect the near- point dog.
  • Page 78 (d) Machine OPR from a position where the near-point dog is turned on When machine OPR is started at a position indicated as interval B (where the near-point dog is turned on) in the figure below, the OPR retry function does not operate. The axis moves at the creep speed to complete machine OPR.
  • Page 79 CHAPTER 7 POSITIONING FUNCTION (4) Operations of stopper 1 and precautions Under this method, machine OPR completes upon elapse of the OPR dwell time after the detection of near-point dog ON. The following operations take place. Operation step Description of operation Machine OPR starts upon execution of the OPR start instruction (IPOPR1(P)).
  • Page 80 (b) Setting of OPR dwell time For "OPR dwell time," set a value equal to or greater than the moving time from the near-point dog ON position until the stopper is contacted. If the OPR dwell time is short, machine OPR completes before the stopper is contacted and the OP position deviates.

For limitation of torque, refer to the manual for the drive unit. (b) Near-point dog and starting position •...
  • Page 83 CHAPTER 7 POSITIONING FUNCTION (d) Zero signal input • Input a zero signal after the stopper has been contacted. If a zero signal is input before the stopper is contacted, machine OPR completes at that point. As a result, the OP position deviates and if a zero signal is input while the axis is decelerating to the creep speed, the motor load also increases because the axis stops suddenly at the creep speed or higher.
  • Page 84 (6) Operations of stopper 3 and precautions Under this method, machine OPR completes upon input of a zero signal via an external switch, following stopper contact. This method is effective when no near-point dog is installed. Note, however, that it takes a longer time to complete machine OPR because the axis operates at the creep speed, not at the OPR speed.
  • Page 85 CHAPTER 7 POSITIONING FUNCTION (7) Operations of count 1 and precautions Under this method, machine OPR completes when the first zero signal is input after the axis has moved the distance set by "Movement amount after near-point dog ON" from the near-point dog ON point. The following operations take place.
  • Page 86 (a) Required pulse generator A pulse generator with a zero signal is required. If a pulse generator without zero signal is used, generate a zero signal using an external signal. (b) Movement amount after near-point dog ON The "Movement amount after near-point dog ON" should be equal to or longer than the distance moved by the axis as it decelerates from the OPR speed to creep speed.
  • Page 87 CHAPTER 7 POSITIONING FUNCTION (c) Advantages of using limit switches The following functions can be used when the upper and lower limit signals are selected: • OPR retry function When machine OPR is started in a position indicated as interval A (where the near-point dog is turned off and no near-point dog is found in the OPR direction) in the figure below, the axis continues to operate at the OPR speed until reaching the limit switch of the machine system because it cannot detect the near- point dog.
  • Page 88 (8) Operations of count 2 and precautions Under this method, the position achieved by moving the distance set by "Movement amount after near-point dog ON" from the near-point dog ON point is set as the OP.
