Zone ranges should be set in the position table.
While the operation corresponding to a position number is executed, the zone range set for the
position number is valid. It is kept effective also during the emergency stop unless the actuator
is operated or the memory of the origin is lost due to alarm.
(3) Setting values and signal output range
The zone output range varies depending on the difference between the value set for the
positive side of the zone and that for the negative side.
1) Value set for positive side > value set for negative side: The output signal is set to ON in
the range and OFF out of the range.
2) Value set for positive side < value set for negative side: The output signal is set to OFF in
the range and ON out of the range.
[Example of Line Axis]
[Example of rotary actuator of multi-rotation specification in index mode]
Caution:
(1) Since this signal becomes effective after the coordinate system is established after the
home return is completed, it would not be output just with the power turned ON.
(2) The zone detection range would not turn ON unless the value exceeds that of the
minimum resolution (actuator lead length/number of encoder pulse).
(3) The number of encoder pulse differs for each actuator series.
RCP2, RCP3, RCP4, RCP5 : 800 pulses
