[5] Zone Signal and Position Zone Signal (ZONE1, ZONE2, PZONE)
PIO signal
: Available, ×: Unavailable
Note 1 Pattern 3 does not have the zone signal output feature.
Note 2 In Parameter No.149 Zone Output Switchover, ZONE can be selected instead
of PZONE.
The relevant signal can be turned ON while the actuator passes or stops in the zone range in
either of the following 2 types:
1) Zone signal (ZONE1, ZONE2) : The output signal is turned ON at the position set by the
proper parameter.
2) Position zone signal (PZONE) : The output signal is turned ON at the position set in the
position table.
The feature can play a role as the sensor for judging whether the completion position is good or
not in pressing operation, setting the continuous operation zone in pitch feed or interlocking
operations of other units in the setting zone.

(1) Zone signa (ZONE1, ZONE2)
Set the zone range to the relevant parameter.
1) Parameter No.1 : Zone boundary 1+
2) Parameter No.2 : Zone boundary 1−
3) Parameter No.23 : Zone boundary 2+
4) Parameter No.24 : Zone boundary 2−
The zone signal ZONE is kept effective also during the emergency stop unless the memory of
the origin is lost due to alarm.
(2) Position zone signal (PZONE)
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.
