Chapter 4 Installing driver Chapter 4 Installing driver Receiving Inspection Check the followings when products are unpackaged. ● Inspection procedure (1) Check the shipping item for any damage that may have been caused during transportation. If the item is damaged, immediately contact the dealer it was purchased from. (2) On its side, the driver has the nameplate shown on the right.
Chapter 4 Installing driver Notices on handling drivers The drivers are electronic devices. Handle them with care and take the following precautions. (1) Do not drop screws, solder balls, wire chips, or any other foreign objects through the ventilation gaps of the driver. Failure to observe this caution may result in electric shock or personal injury.
Chapter 4 Installing driver Location and installation 4-3-1 Environment of location The environmental conditions of the location are as follows: ◆ Service temperature: 0°C to +50°C Use the driver in a cabinet. The temperature in the cabinet can be higher than the atmosphere because of power loss of the housed devices and its size.
Chapter 4 Installing driver 4-3-3 Installing The HA-520 driver should be mounted on a wall as shown in the figure to the right. Two mounting holes are provided on the back of the driver. The thickness of the wall should be more than 2mm.
Chapter 4 Installing driver ● Grounding motor frame When actuators are grounded at driven machine through the motor frame, current flows through floating capacity (Cf) of the motor from power amplifier of the driver. To avoid influence of the current, always connect the ground terminal (motor frame) of the motor to the ground terminal of the driver, and connect the ground terminal of the driver to the ground directly.
Chapter 4 Installing driver 4-4-3 Instructions for cabling In addition to the noise suppression mentioned previously, one must also follow these instructions: (1) Use shield cables for I/O signals. When a host controls several drivers, prepare I/O signal cables for each driver individually.
Chapter 4 Installing driver Connecting power cables 4-5-1 Instructions for power supply Before connecting the power cable to the HA-520 driver, turn-off the electricity to avoid electric shock.
