3.8 I/O Signals
A3-143
ME0384-4A
Basic Operations of ELECYLINDER
[Home return operation/positioning operation]
Turning the [ST0] signal ON when home return is not complete will first trigger home return
operation.
After a momentary stop at the home position, it will then move to the backward end. As well, when
the [ST1] signal is turned ON, the unit will move to the forward end after home return operation.
However, for battery-less absolute encoder specification, the operation is complete when home
return operation is done.
(1)
When the [ST0] signal is turned ON, backward motion begins towards the mechanical end.
The movement speed is 20mm/s.
(2)
Once the mechanical end is struck, the direction will be reversed and forward motion will begin.
The unit will move forward until the home position, then stop.
(3) After that, it will continuously move forward until the backward end, where it stops as
operation is complete.
Caution
In the home reverse specification (model: NM), home return operation is in the reverse
direction.
(1) Backward
Reverse at mechanical end
Turning the ST signal OFF
midway through operation will
interrupt home return operation.
