1. Parts Confirmation
Please contact your sales representative if any of these parts are missing or incorrect:
- Controller: RCP2-C or RCP2-CG
- Actuator: Slider type or Rod type
- I/O Flat Cable: CB-RCA-PIO020
- Motor Cable: RB-RCP2-MA ***

2. Installation
a. Install the Actuator.
Screw diameter
M4
Standard torque
2.3Nm
for bolting
(0.23Kgf.m)
(0.44Kgf.m)
b. Mount to the Actuator.
- Slider Type: Use the 4 tapped holes located
on the top of the slider.
Max torque required for mounting:
SA5/SA6/SA7/SS/SSR 7.5Nm (0.77Kgf.m)
SM/SMR
- Rod Type: Be sure to use a wrench to prevent adding rotational moment
to the rod (see picture to the right). Use a 14mm wrench for RXA/RSA
models and a 19mm wrench for the RMA model.
c. Mount the Controller.
3. Wiring
- Connect to DC24V (Min. 2A) power supply
- Ground the FG wire
- Connect the emergency stop and motor power supply wires
- Connect the I/O flat cable
Because the HOLD signal is a normally closed contact, it is ON during operation and OFF during pause.
If there is no PLC software at the time of adjustment, change parameter #15 (refer to the last page of this
Quick Start Guide). You can also temporarily short it to 0V in case of NPN or 24V in case of PNP. (It
becomes necessary to use the teaching pendant or PC for operation). Afterwards, you must remove this
short if you plan to automatically operate it with a PLC.
- Connect the motor cable & encoder cable
When combining multiple axes, be sure to verify that the configurations for your actuators and controller
are correct. Otherwise, they will not operate properly.
