Installation Installation This chapter explains the installation location and installation methods of the driver, as well as how to install a load. The installation and wiring methods in compliance with the EMC Directive are also explained. Installation location The driver is designed and manufactured for installation in equipment. Install them in a well-ventilated location that provides easy access for inspection.
Page 10
Installing and wiring in compliance with EMC Directive Eff ective measures must be taken with regard to EMI caused by the DRL series actuator and/or driver in the control system equipment operating nearby and EMS of the DRL series actuator and/or driver. Failure to do so may result in serious impairment of the machine’s functionality.

Installation Notes about installation and wiring Connect the actuator, driver and other peripheral control equipment directly to the grounding point so as to prevent a potential diff erence from developing between grounds. When relays or electromagnetic switches are used together with the system, use mains fi lters and CR circuits to suppress surges generated by them.
Connection Connection This section covers the methods and examples of connecting and grounding the driver, actuator, power supply and controller, as well as the I/O signals. DRL20 is the connector type actuator. Use the supplied connector leads. An optional connector lead wires and driver cable set is available (sold separately).

Connection Output signals The driver’s output signals are photocoupler/open-collector outputs. The signal states indicate the state of the internal photocoupler “ON: power conducted; OFF: power not conducted”.

Setting How to set the resolution 1. Set the resolution select switch to R1 (ON side) or R2 (OFF side). R1 (ON side): Among the resolution shown in the table on the previous page, those corresponding to the resolution select switch setting of "R1" can be used. R2 (OFF side): Among the resolution shown in the table on the previous page, those corresponding to the resolution select switch setting of "R2"...

Setting Smooth drive function The smooth drive function achieves low vibration, low noise operation even in Smooth drive the basic resolution. With this function, each the basic resolution is automatically function switch (OFF/SD) divided into 16 microsteps. This function makes it not necessary to change the pulse signals (speed, pulse count) from the controller.

Setting Setting the motor operating current 1. Connect the motor and DC ammeter. 2. Turn the C.D.INH input to ON. Do not apply other input signals. 3. Turn on the driver’s power supply (24 VDC). 4. Adjust the operating current using the motor operating current potentiometer (RUN). Use a precision screwdriver to turn the potentiometer.

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.

Setting Operational use of the actuator thrust The maximum thrust of the actuator is measured during constant-speed operation without loaded mass. To push or pull an external force with the actuator moving Load (jig + load) parts a thrust against the external force is required in External addition to a thrust for carrying the jig that receives the force...
