Conductive Noise Immunity Test IEC 61000-4-6 Power supply The DRL series products are specifi cally designed for DC power supply input. Use a DC power supply (such as a switching power supply) compliant with the EMC directive. Mains fi lter Connect a mains fi lter on the input side of the DC power supply so as to prevent the noise generated in the driver from being transmitted externally via the power supply line.

Installation Wiring the power supply cable and I/O cable Use a shielded cable of AWG22 (0.3 mm ) or more in diameter for the driver power supply cable. Use a shielded cable of AWG24 (0.2 mm ) or more in diameter for the driver I/O cable, and keep it as short as possible. When grounding a shielded cable, use a metal cable clamp that contacts Shielded cable the shielded cable over the entire perimeter.
Connection Connection This section covers the methods of connecting the driver, actuator, power supply and controller, as well as the connection examples and I/O. DRL20, DRL28M, DRL42M, DRL60M are the connector connection cable. Use the supplied motor cable. Optional motor cables and driver cables (sold separately) are also available. See page 35 for details.

Connection Connecting the actuator Crimp-fi t the motor connector onto the motor leads and insert the connector with leads into the motor connector (CN3). To extend the motor leads, do so by using a cable of AWG22 (0.3 mm ) to AWG18 (0.75 mm ) in diameter and also by keeping the wiring length within 10 m (32.8 ft.).

Connection Example of TIMING output not turning "ON" The chart below shows an operation in which the screw shaft is moved forward for 12 pulses at a resolution of 0.0004 mm (0.000016 in.) and then moved backward for one pulse at a resolution of 0.004 mm (0.00016 in.). [mm (in.)] 0.004 Forward...
Setting Setting This section covers the methods of setting the resolution, switching pulse input modes, switching , smooth drive function and adjusting the motor current. Resolution When setting the actuator's resolution, use the resolution setting switches (DATA1, DATA2) and the resolution select switches (R1, R2).
Page 24
Setting DRL42 With high-resolution motors, the resolution becomes one-half the applicable value shown in the table below. Resolution Resolution Number of Number of setting switches Resolution 1 [mm (in.)] setting switches Resolution 2 [mm (in.)] divisions 1 divisions 2 DATA1/DATA2 DATA1/DATA2 0.004 (0.00016)
Page 25
Setting The resolutions are given as theoretical values. The resolution is calculated by dividing the basic resolution by the division number. The C/S (resolution switching) input is eff ective only with respect to the division number selected for resolution 1 or resolution 2.

Setting Motor currents Motor operating current Factory setting: Motor's rated current Motor standstill current Factory setting: 50% of motor operating current When the load is light and there is a margin for thrust, the motor's operating vibration and the temperature increase of the motor and driver can be held down by lowering the motor's operating current and standstill current.

RUN potentiometer Current corresponding to a dual-phase value fl ows to the ammeter. A value of one-half that which is indicated equals the single-phase current value. Sample: When the indication value on the ammeter shows 1.5 A, it stands for the setting of 0.75 A/phase.

Positioning time The following explains the formula for calculating the positioning time (reference value) of the DRL series: Since there is settling time dependent on such factors as the load's inertial moment and the speed setting, use these values only as a reference.
Page 31
Settling time With the DRL series, the load inertial moment and other factors cause a response delay with respect to the pulse input. A delay thus caused at stopping is called the "settling time". The calculation of accurate positioning time requires that this settling time be considered.
Inspection It is recommended that the following items be checked regularly after operation. Should an abnormality be noted, discontinue any use and contact your nearest Oriental Motor offi ce. Inspection items Are there any foreign objects on the driver? ...
Troubleshooting and remedial actions During DRL series operation, the actuator or driver may fail to operate properly due to an error in speed setting or inappropriate connection. If the DRL series doesn't operate properly, refer to this section and take appropriate action.

Troubleshooting and remedial actions Phenomenon Possible cause Remedial action Turn the potentiometer for adjusting the motor operating current (RUN) slightly in the counterclockwise direction in order The actuator vibrates signifi cantly. Small load. to lower the current. Vibration will increase if the actuator's output torque is too large for the load.
