Outline of HS-360 drivers Each HS-360 driver is available exclusively for an RH/RHS/RFS/LA/LAH Series actuator, consisting of ® a combined system of a small-sized precision control reduction gear Harmonic drive and small DC servomotor. HS-360 drivers have many features to exhibit fully the characteristics of each actuator.
The encoder resolution for the RH-5A and linear series will be, however, the line driver specification of 360P/R or 500P/R. Signal exchanges of the HS-360 series between the driver and encoder are only with a line driver. Use at the open collector is not feasible.

Chapter 4 Installing driver Chapter 4 Installing driver 4-1 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.
Chapter 4 Installing driver (5) The driver input power supply voltage is shown in the "INPUT VOL." on the nameplate and at the top of the front panel of the driver. (Refer to Section 1-6, "Front panel".) Do not connect the driver to any power supply the voltage of which differs from the value specified on the nameplate.
Chapter 4 Installing driver 4-3 Location and installation 4-3-1 Environment of location The environmental conditions of the location are as follows: ◆ Service temperature: 0C to +50C 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 HS-360 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. (2) Use twisted pair cables for encoder signal cables.
Chapter 4 Installing driver 4-5 Connecting power cables 4-5-1 Instructions for power supply Before connecting the power cable to the HS-360 driver, turn-off the electricity to avoid electric shock. Failure to observe this caution may result in electric shock or personal injury.
