3.3.4 Settings of Basic Parameters Required for Operation
It is a mandatory parameter to perform an operation.
(The parameters listed in the table below may only be set if the actuator performs only
positioning operation.)
Parameter No. Parameter Name Details
65

Determine the movement amount and calculate value for the electronic gear setting by
following the formula below:
Linear Axis Unit Travel Distance: Min. Travel Distance Unit (1, 0.1, 0.01mm etc.)/pulse
Rotary Axis Unit Travel Distance: Min. Travel Distance Unit (1, 0.1, 0.01deg. etc.)/pulse
Electronic Gear Formula:
In the case of Linear Axis
In the case of Rotary Axis
Note 1 : Refer to 10.6 List of Specifications of Connectable Actuators for the encoder pulse of
each actuator.
Formula for velocity:
The velocity of the actuator can be figured out with the following formula.
Velocity = Unit Travel Distance × Input Pulse Frequency [Hz]
