6.4 Power-saving Modes at Standby Positions
One general feature of pulse motors is that their holding current in standstill state is greater than AC servo
motors.
Therefore, this product provides energy-saving modes to reduce power consumption in situations where
the actuator remains standstill for a long period at a standby position.
Use these modes after confirming that they will not present problems to any part of your system.
Each mode produces a different level of power-saving effect. Follow the instructions provided below and
select an optimal mode appropriate for the specific standstill condition of your actuator.
 PIO pattern = 5: Solenoid valve mode 2 [3-point type]
The actuator stands by with the servo on after the power has been turned on
In this condition, you can select full servo control using parameter No. 53 (Default standstill mode).
Automatic servo-off control cannot be selected. If you have set 1, 2 or 3 by mistake, the setting will be
ignored.
(This setting is not affected by the value in the “Standstill mode” field of the position table.)
The actuator stands by after completing the positioning to the target position set in the “Position” field
for the applicable position number
In this condition, you can select one of two modes based on the value in the “Standstill mode” field of the
position table.
(This setting is not affected by the value of parameter No. 53.)
[1] Full servo control
[2] Automatic servo-off control
 PIO pattern = Other than 5: Solenoid valve mode 2 [3-point type]
The actuator stands by after completing the home return operation effected by the HOME input signal
In this condition, you can select one of two modes based on the value of parameter No. 53 (Default
standstill mode).
(This setting is not affected by the value in the “Standstill mode” field of the position table.)
[1] Full servo control
[2] Automatic servo-off control
