Caution
● 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.
● The zone detection range would not turn ON unless the value exceeds that of the
minimum resolution (actuator lead length/number of encoder pulse).
● The number of encoder pulse differs for each actuator series.
• RCP2, RCP3, RCP4, RCP5: 800 pulses
• RCP6: 8192 pulses

PIO signal
Common to
: Available, ×: Unavailable
1) Alarm signal *ALM is set to ON in the normal status but turned OFF at the occurrence of an
alarm at a level equal to or higher than the operation release level.
2) Turn the reset signal RES on under occurrence of an alarm at the operation release level
(Note 1)
, and the alarm can be released. The action is taken at the rising edge (ON edge).
3) The alarm reset should be done after the cause of the alarm is confirmed and removed.
If alarm reset and restart are repeated many times without removal of the cause, a severe
failure such as motor burnout may occur.
Note 1 Refer to [8.3.3 Alarm Details] for details of alarms.
Caution
● Reset signal RES has two features, or alarm reset under occurrence of an alarm and
operation interruption (cancellation of remaining moving distance) under temporary
stop.
For the operation interruption under temporary stop, refer to the description of the
operation in each pattern.
