6. Setting Perform the DIP switch setting for normal/reversed switching of the piston rod travel direction (during target position operation), cylinder bore size, and piston rod operating direction at no signal operation. By performing the rotary switch setting, the piston rod speed during target position operation can be set. With the power to the air servo cylinder disconnected, remove the hexagon socket head cap screws to remove the switch cover from the panel.
6-1. Piston Rod Movement Direction (DIP Switch No. 1) The piston rod movement direction relative to the analogue input signal (4-20 mA) can be set, for when the target position operation is performed. Moving Relationship between the analogue input signal No.
6-3 Piston rod Movement at No Signal Operation Set the piston rod operation at no signal operation (refer to 6-4) using DIP switch No. 5 and No. 6. The piston rod operation setting can be selected from "Stops after moving to the retracted end", "Stops after moving to the set point", or "Current position retained".
7. Operation Mode and Functions The operation modes for this product include JOG operation, Calibration, Target position operation (4-20mA), No signal operation, and Emergency stop. The functions available during operation are residual pressure release and alarm LED display. This section describes each operation mode and function. 7-1.
Page 33
(2) Movement to the retracted end When the JOG- signal (Pin No. 4) is ON, the piston rod moves to the retracted end. When the JOG+ signal (Pin No. 3) turns ON while the JOG- signal is ON, the JOG operation is stopped and the piston rod retains the current position.
7-2. Calibration The piston rod movement range (set point) can be set when using the Target position operation (refer to 7-3). By performing the Calibration, the relationship between the piston rod position (from the retracted end to the set point) and the current value (4-20 mA) input to Sig-in+ and Sig-in- can be set. Once the Calibration is performed, the set point is stored in the product and will be recorded even when the power supply is OFF.
Page 35
7-2-1-2. Manual mode Step (1) – Turn the power supply OFF if it is not already. Ensure that all DIP switches are turned to OFF position and check that all LEDs are off. Step (2) – Turn the power supply ON. Ensure that all DIP switches remain in the OFF position and check that the LEDs begin to flash at a rate of 0.5 Hz.

7-4. No Signal Operation When an analog input signal of 3.9 mA or less is input, the piston rod operates according to the No signal operation setting set beforehand. The operation can be selected from 3 types of operation by switching the DIP switch No.
7-6. Residual Pressure Release The pressure on the head side and rod side of the air cylinder can be released from the residual pressure release valve in the head cover of the product. Rotate the exhaust screw (hexagon socket head cap screw) in the counterclockwise direction to release the valve and exhaust the air. Exhaust the air only after disconnecting the power supply and air supply.
