Chapter 1 Safety Precautions
The XSEL Controller can be combined with a maximum of six actuators of different types, and is able to provide
integrated control over the entire system including peripherals. In other words, the XSEL Controller has the
ability to control systems of all sizes ranging from a small system to a large factory automation system. In
general, however, the occurrence rate of accidents due to wrong operation or carelessness will rise as the
system becomes larger and more complex. Please give due consideration to safety measures.
This system product was developed as a drive unit for an automated machine, etc., and as such the maximum
torque and speed are limited to levels acceptable for an automatically driven machine. However, strict
observance of the following items is requested to prevent unforeseen danger. Also read the appendix entitled,
“Safety Rules and Others.”
1. Do not handle this product in manners not specified in this manual. If you have any question regarding the
content of this manual, please contact IAI.
2. Always use the specified, genuine IAI cables for wiring between the controller and the actuator.
3. Do not enter the operation area of the machine while the machine is operating or ready to operate (the
controller power is on). If the machine is used in a place accessible to other people, provide an appropriate
safety measure such as enclosing the machine with a cage.
4. When assembling/adjusting or maintaining/inspecting the machine, always turn off the controller power at the
source beforehand. The operator should display in a conspicuous place a plate or other sign saying that
operation is in progress and that the power should not be turned on. The operator should keep the entire
power cable beside him or her to prevent another person from inadvertently plugging in the cable.
5. When two or more operators are to work together, set call-out signals to ensure safety of all personnel during
the work. In particular, a person turning on/off the power or moving an axis—either via a motor or manually—
must always say what he or she is going to do out loud and confirm the responses from the others first before
actually performing the operation.
