(2) Load was not contacted (missed)
If the actuator does not still contact the load after having moved the distance specified in the “Positioning
band” field, the position complete signal will not turn ON.
Therefore, include timeout check processing in the sequence circuit on the PLC side.
It is recommended that a zone signal be also used as a “simple ruler” to supplement the judgment of
missed load.
(3) Load moves during push & hold operation
[1] Load moves in the pushed direction
If the load moves in the pushed direction after completion of push action, the actuator will chase the
load within the positioning band.
If the current drops to below the current-limiting value set in the “Push” field of the position table while
the actuator is moving, the position complete signal will turn OFF. The position complete signal will
turn ON when the current-limiting value increases to the specified level again.
[2] Load moves in the opposite direction
(Actuator is pushed back by the strong reactive force of the load)
If the actuator is pushed back after completion of push action because the reactive force of the load
is greater than the thrust force of the actuator, the actuator will be pushed back until its push force
balances out with the reactive force of the load.
The position complete signal will remain ON.
(Note) If the actuator is pushed back to the target position, an alarm will generate.
