 If motions in open-loop operation are necessary:
− Set the control value with the SMO command so that the axis moves with
low velocity.
− Stop the axis in time. For this purpose, use the #24, STP or HLT
command, or set the control value to zero with the SMO command.
 Do not disable via parameter setting the evaluation of the limit switch signals
by the C-863.
 Check the function of the limit switches at about 10 % to 20 % of the
maximum velocity.
 In the event of a malfunction of the limit switches, stop the motion
immediately.
 Ensure that the end of the travel range is approached at low velocity.
 If the moving part or the load mounted on it collides with an obstacle, switch
off the motor.
 If possible, adjust the soft limits in the software used for commanding motion
to your mechanical system.
 Determine the maximum velocity for your application.
If no joystick is connected to the C-863, activating the joystick in the software can
cause unintentional motion of the axis connected.
 Activate the joystick in the software only if a joystick is actually connected to
the C-863.
If the servo mode is switched off, e. g. after a motion error occurs, the brake of the
stage can be deactivated by command. Deactivating the brake can cause the stage to
move unintentionally.
 Secure the stage against unintentional motions before you deactivate the
brake by command!
2.2.5 Safety Measures during Maintenance
The C-863 comprises electrostatic sensitive devices.
 Do not open the case of the C-863.
 Before cleaning, disconnect the C-863 from the power source by pulling the
power plug.
