2) Turning reset signal RES ON under occurrence of an alarm at the operation release level
allows the alarm
3) The alarm reset should be done after the cause of the alarm is confirmed and removed. If
alarm reset and restart are repeated many times without removal of the cause, a severe

alarm and operation interruption (cancellation of remaining moving
distance) under temporary stop.
For the operation interruption under temporary stop, refer to the
description of the operation in each pattern.

PIO signal
Common to
Patterns 0 to 2
(Note 1)
Pattern 4
(Note 1)
Pattern 5
Note1: Patterns 4 and 5 do not have this function.
