4.2 Operation in Positioner Mode
4-46 ME0342-4B
Caution
● The speed during pressing operation is set in Parameter No.34. Check [9.4 List of
Specifications of Connectable Actuators] for the pressing operation speed.
Do not set any value larger than the value in the list. If the speed set in the position table
is equal to or less than the pressing speed, the pressing is performed at the setup speed.
● The approach start position of pressing should be located at or before the pressing start
position (coordinate 100mm or less in the above example) If not, the moving direction
varies depending on the start position to be dangerous.
For example, pressing at coordinate larger than the pressing end position (larger than
150mm) is the tension operation in the direction from the current position to the pressing
end position. Note that pressing after positioning to the position of coordinate 100mm
does not take place.
● A pressing operation command from a coordinate above the pressing termination
position (150mm or more) should not be performed when the force sensor is used.
Attempting to do so should cause Alarm: 0A3 "Position Command Data Error".
● The work is pressed after the pressing is completed. The work may moves backward or
forward. If the actuator is moved backward before the approach position, alarm 0DC
“Pressing motion range over error” occurs to stop the actuator. In movement of the work
in the pressing direction, PEND is turned OFF if the load current becomes lower than the
current limit (pressing [%]). Miss-pressing occurs when the actuator moves by the
pressing moving distance set in “Positioning width”.
● Do not make control of changing to pressing on the way of normal positioning (before
PEND turning ON). Depending on the position at which start signal CSTR is turned ON, the
pressing is performed improperly. Then the PLC cannot manage the position of the
actuator.
● Pressing control cannot be performed with the rotary actuator. If the index mode is
selected for the rotary actuator of multi-rotation specification, pressing operation cannot
be set. The positioning complete signal PEND is turned ON when the actuator reaches
the positioning width.
●
If the
actuator
gets pressed to the work during the approach operation, error would be
issued.
