Safety Precautions The precautions described below are intended to ensure the safe and proper use of the product and to prevent the user and other personnel from exposure to the risk of injury. Use the product only after carefully reading and fully understanding these instructions. In regard to a controller, it is prohibited to start operating the robot (i.e., to operate the device in accordance with the specified purpose) when the machine in which the controller is incorporated does not meet the relevant safety standards.
Assign qualified personnel having expert knowledge on electrical and mechanical engineering as well as safety to the task of installing, wiring, operating/controlling, inspecting and troubleshoot- ing the product. Handling by unqualified personnel may result in fire, injury, or damage to equip- ment.
Take appropriate safety measures when placing the motor in a non-excitation state. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to equipment. Do not turn off the power or input a signal to place the motor in a non-excitation state during oper- ation.
Precautions for Use Saving data to non-volatile memory Do not turn off the control power supply while writing data to non-volatile memory, and do not turn off the control power supply for five seconds after writing has been completed. Doing so may abort writ- ing the data and cause an alarm of EEPROM error to generate.

Installation and Connection Installation Location The product described in this manual is designed and manufactured to be incorporated into general industrial equipment. Install it in a well-ventilated location that provides easy access for inspection. The location must also satisfy the following conditions: Inside an enclosure installed indoors (provide ventilation holes) Operating ambient temperature: 0 to +40 °C [+32 to 104 °F] (non-freezing) Operating ambient humidity: 85 % or less (non-condensing)
Maintain 10 m (32.8 ft.) or less for wiring distance between a motor and driver. *1 These are Oriental motor cables. Purchase is required separately. *2 It is recommended that a circuit breaker or a circuit protector is connected because incorrect wir- ing may cause the internal input circuit to short-circuit.
Note Make sure the polarity of the power supply before connecting. Connecting the power supply with reversed polarity may damage the controller. Recommended Connectors Type Part number Manufacturer Straight Plug N/MS3106B20-29S Japan Aviation Electronics Industry, Ltd. Right Angle Plug N/MS3108B20-29S Japan Aviation Electronics Industry, Ltd. Pin assignment The figure shows the view from the insert side of the contacts.
Since the main power supplies 1 through 3 are internally independent, wire the power to all of them. Voltage specifications The power supply input voltage specifications include the rated voltage and the allowable operating voltage. Rated Voltage Allowable Operating Voltage 24 VDC±5 %...

I/O signal cables that include a ground wire are available in Oriental Motor products. To ground a shielded cable, use a metal cable clamp that can maintain contact with the entire cir- cumference of the shielded cable, and ground as close to the product as possible.
When connecting a noise filter in an enclosure, wire the input cable of the noise filter as short as possible. Wiring over a long distance may reduce the noise suppressing effect. Oriental Motor Noise Suppression Products I/O Signal Cables These are shielded cables for good noise immunity to connect the controller and a host controller.
