Precautions for Handling
1. Make sure to follow the usage condition, environment and specification range of the product.
In case it is not secured, it may cause a drop in performance or malfunction of the product.
2. Use the correct teaching tool.
Refer to the following item and use compatible tools for PC software and teaching pendant
usable for this controller.
Refer to [2.1.2 Teaching tool]
3. Back up data in order to be prepared for a breakdown.
Non-volatile memory is used for backup memory of this controller. Registered position data and
parameters are written in this memory and backed up. Therefore, these data will normally not be
lost even if the power is turned off. However, be sure to save the latest data to enable a quick
recovery process in case this controller needs to be replaced with a substitute due to
breakdown, etc.
How to save
(1) Save to an external memory or a hard disk using PC software
(2) Record position table and parameters in writing
4. Set the operation patterns.
This controller processes 8 types of control logics (including 6 types of PIO patterns and
2 types pulse train control) to meet various ways of usage, and changes the role of each
PIO signal following the selected control logic.
1) In PIO specification of PCON-CB/CFB, there are 6 types of the PIO patterns available to
choose from.
2) For Pulse Train specification of PCON-CB/CFB, not only 2 types of the pulse train control
modes, but also 6 types of the PIO patterns are available.
3) In PIO specification of PCON-CBP, not only the types of the force sensor use pressing
modes, but also 6 types of the PIO patterns are available.
The setup can be performed by using the parameter No.25 “PIO pattern selection”.
Refer to [2.2 Operation Modes and Functions] and [6.1.2 [18] PIO Pattern Select].
The PIO pattern is set to “0” (Standard Type) when the unit is delivered. Set the operation
pattern setting to the logic that suits to your use after the power is turned on.
Warning
● Please note it is very risky when the control sequence and PIO pattern setting do not
match to each other. It may not only cause the normal operation disabled, but also may
cause an unexpected operation.
