Macro operation Macro operation Macro operation is an operation type in which a specific input signal is turned ON to automatically perform operation corresponding to the signal. The macro operation includes JOG operation, inching operation, continuous operation, etc. The travel amount, operating speed, acceleration/deceleration and stopping decelerations for each operation are set with parameters.

Position coordinate management Position coordinate management Overview of position coordinate management The AZ Series manages the position coordinate of the motor with the ABZO sensor (mechanical absolute encoder). In the ABZO sensor, the present coordinate is recorded mechanically and calculated when the power is turned on.

Detection of communication errors Detection of communication errors This is a function to detect abnormalities that occurred in communication with the network converter and the industrial network. It includes two types of detection: communication errors and alarms. Communication errors When the communication error with error code 84h occurs, the C-DAT/C-ERR LED of the driver is lit in red. In addition, the red color and green color on the PWR/ALM LED (POWER/ALARM LED) blink twice at the same time.

Operation data R/W commands 10-2 Offset reference (Modbus communication) With Modbus communication, offset reference is not necessary because up to the operation data No.255 can be directly input. However, offset reference can be used conveniently also in Modbus communication because the addresses of the setting items do not need to be changed if just the starting data number is changed.

Change of function of HOME PRESET switch Change of function of HOME PRESET switch In the AZ Series, the function of the P-PRESET input is assigned to the HOME PRESET switch. Therefore, just by pressing the HOME PRESET switch, the present position can be set as the home position. However, once the home position is set, the function of the HOME PRESET switch can be disabled so that the home position should not be preset even if the HOME PRESET switch is pressed by mistake.
Change of assignments of A-phase/ B-phase outputs Change of assignments of A-phase/ B-phase outputs To the I/O connector of the driver, the A-phase (ASG) output and the B-phase (BSG) output are assigned at the time of factory shipment. The ASG output and the BSG output are signals output from the ABZO sensor.
