Caution
● There is no holding torque during AUTO servo OFF. The actuator will move if external
force is applied. Take extra care when setting.
● Do not use AUTO servo OFF when the next travel command is relative specifications
(pitch feed). Misalignment may occur.
● Do not use AUTO servo OFF with push-motion operation. The pushing force will be lost.
● AUTO servo OFF does not function if operating in teaching mode with a teaching
pendant or the PC software.

[3] Status of Positioning Complete Signal when AUTO Servo OFF Selected
If AUTO servo OFF is executed, the status is no longer positioning complete as the servo is turned
OFF. Therefore, the positioning complete signal PEND turns OFF. By changing the PEND signal into
an in-position signal that determines if the unit is stopped in the range of positioning width instead of
the positioning complete signal, the signal can be made not to turn OFF even during servo OFF.
Perform this setting with Parameter No. 39.
