The Motor consists of a high thrust force brushless actuator, a high resolution brushless resolver, and heavy duty precision NSK Linear Guides. The high thrust force actuator has a simple structure, while the built-in resolver usually makes feedback components, such as encoders unnecessary.
Page 15
Universal Interface l Because of the extreme versatility of the Driver Unit design, a wide variety of interface methods are possible. The Megathrust Motor System can be interfaced to virtually any control system. It is very easy to control the Megathrust Motor System with a CNC, a servo motor controller, a robot controller, or an positioning controller.
1.2. Functional Principle 1.2.1. Motor l By virtue of its unique design, the Megathrust Motor System is capable of producing extremely high thrust force at low speeds suitable for direct drive applications. Furthermore, it can produce these force levels without using an undue amount of power, so it can sustain these torque levels indefinitely under most conditions without overheating.
Page 17
Digital Microprocessor Subsystem l The digital microprocessor subsystem is a part of the control board. All analog signals are converted to digital form, and the 16-bit microprocessor on the control board handles all Motor control functions in the digital domain. Since analog circuits are eliminated, there are no pots to adjust, no operational amplifier circuits to tweak, and no soldering or component changes are required.
2. Notes to Users l This manual describes the interface, function and operation of ESA13 Driver Unit . l Especially when you use Megathrust Motor System for the first time, please thoroughly read this manual. l For the explanations of Motor, only standard Y Motor series is described in this manual. If your Motor is not Y series, please refer to respective specifications or applicable document.

9. Operational Function 9.1. General Operation and Function 9.1.1. Servo “ON” l After the Driver Unit power is turned on and its DRDY output circuit becomes closed, making SVON input ON should make motor servo-on. l The position error counter will be cleared when SVON input is OFF. l When SVON input is ON, the MO command results in servo-off.
9.1.2. Emergency Stop l Turning on the EMST input stops the position loop control function and stops the Motor in the servo-lock state* under velocity loop control. l No motion commands will be accepted while EMST input is on. l In the EMST state, the LED on the front panel indicates “F4”. The DRDY output remains unchanged (closed).
9.1.3. Position Error Counter Clear Input l If the CLR input is on, position loop error will be cleared. l When the excess position error alarm occurs, turning on the CLR input clears the position error counter and recovers from the alarm state. * The Driver Unit detects the rising edge of the CLR input pulse and clears the position error counter to zero.
9.1.4. Overtravel Limit 9.1.4.1. Hardware Overtravel Limit l Hardware overtravel limit is effective when I/O type is set to TY3, TY4 or TY7. l Use the OTP and OTM inputs to restrict the range of Motor movement. l If the OTP input is activated, the Motor motion will stop immediately and remain in servo-on. The Motor can be moved to the minus direction only.
Turn off the Motor servo. Move the Motor’s slider manually to a point to be the overtravel limit on the plus side. Input the password. :/NSK ON NSK ON Register the present position as the overtravel limit on the plus side. The registered overtravel limit value appears on the display.

9.3.2.2. Command Entry l A communication command shall consist of “a command (character string) + data (if necessary) + carriage return code (0DH).” l If the velocity gain is to be set to 0.5, for example, “VG0.5” should be entered by adding data of 0.5 to a VG command.
AB, PA, SI, etc.) require password entry for preventing erroneous entries. These commands cannot be entered in the same manner as other commands. l The password is /NSK ON (a space between K and O) as shown below. If the Driver Unit accepts it, it returns an “NSK ON” message.
9.3.2.4. Cancelling Command l A command which has been entered halfway, entering a backspace code (08H) can cancel a character or an entered full character string. Parameter “backspace mode” (BM) sets the cancelling method. BM0 : a backspace code cancels an entered character string. BM1 : a backspace code cancels a character.
9.3.2.5. Error l Note that an error occurs in any of the following cases : If a nonexistent command (i.e., character string) is entered (If an entered character string cannot be decoded). If data or subscript out of the allowable range is entered. If a command requiring the password is entered without the password.
