• When relays or electromagnetic switches are used, use noise filters or CR circuits to suppress surge generated by them. • Use an Oriental Motor connection cable when extending the wiring distance between the motor and the driver. Refer to p.41 for the model name. This is effective in suppressing the electrical noise emitted from the motor.
Using the following installation and wiring methods will enable the motor and driver to comply with the EMC Directive/Regulations. Oriental Motor conducts EMC testing on its motors and drivers in accordance with “Example of installation and wiring” on p.29.

The driver uses components that are sensitive to static electricity. Take measures against static electricity since it may cause the driver to malfunction or be damaged. • When using the Oriental Motor RGB200 regeneration resistor, install a ferrite core on the thick lead wire (AWG 18) of the regeneration resistor.
Power removal function Power removal function The power removal function is a function that stops supplying the power to the motor by the hardware. This function shuts off the drive signal of the inverter circuit that controls the motor current by two input channels (HWTO1 input, HWTO2 input).
Power removal function Notes when using the power removal function z When the power removal function is used, be sure to conduct a risk assessment of equipment in advance and check that the safety requirements of the safety-related parts of a control system are satisfied.
Power removal function I/O signals HWTO1 input, HWTO2 input These signals are used to activate the power removal function. Connect 24 VDC to HWTO1+ and HWTO2+ and 0 V to HWTO1− and HWTO2−. Provide individual contacts for operating the HWTO1 input and the HWTO2 input. External device Driver Specification...
Power removal function Operation of power removal function Transition to power removal status If both the HWTO1 and HWTO2 inputs are turned OFF, the driver will transition to the power removal status, and the power supplying to the motor will be cut off by the hardware, placing the motor in a non-excitation state. In the power removal status, the status of the motor and driver will be as follows.
Page 34
Power removal function Return from power removal status If both the HWTO1 input and the HWTO2 input are turned ON, the power removal status is released. At this time, the motor remains in a non-excitation state. To excite the motor, turn the ETO-CLR input ON in a state where the excitation command is input from the MainDevice.
Power removal function Detection for failure of the power removal function Monitoring the input status of the HWTO1 and HWTO2 inputs and the output status of the EDM output relative to the inputs can detect the failure of the power removal function. When the power removal function is properly operated, the combination of each signal is any of the following.
Power removal function Operation in normal state z When the door (guard) is opened z When the door (guard) is closed Open the door (guard). Close the door (guard). The safety input 1 and the safety input 2 of the The safety input 1 and the safety input 2 of the safety module are turned OFF.
Power removal function Related functions The related functions are not safety-related parts of a control system. Input signal z ETO-CLR input After both the HWTO1 input and the HWTO2 input are turned ON to release the power removal function, if the ETO-CLR input is turned ON in a state where the excitation command is input from the EtherCAT MainDevice, the motor goes into an excitation state.
