2. Product Outline
2.1 Product features
The followings are the main functions of this controller:
Actuator control
A positioning operation and operation at a specific speed and force for the actuator are possible by
controlling the servo motor.
Specified force operation
Control the pushing force or the pressing force of the actuator.
Separated power supply
The power supply is separated into the drive power and the control power. Therefore, even when
the drive power is off, if the control power is on, the position information from the encoder will be
maintained and the serial communication and parallel I/O control are still available.
Return to origin
Return the actuator to the home position by sending a single signal to a dedicated terminal.
Alarm detection function
Automatically detect the abnormal conditions and output the appropriate alarm signal via the serial
interface and parallel I/O. The alarm information (up to the last 8 alarms) will be recorded into the
memory in the controller.
64 step data
Control the actuator according to the step data specified by the input of parallel I/O.
It is possible to setup various parameters for each operation pattern.
Area output
The area output terminal will be activated if the actuator position is within the range specified by
“Area 1” and “Area 2” in the step data.
Data input method
It is possible to perform a parameter setup, status monitoring, trial run and alarm reset via the serial
communication with a PC installed with the controller setting software or the teaching box.
Easy mode and Normal mode
There are two available modes for the controller setting software and the teaching box. In the Easy
mode, you can start the operation by only setting the speed, position, etc. On the other hand, in the
Normal mode, you can make a further detailed setup.
Caution
Please Keep this manual safe for future use. It will be necessary to refer to this manual along with the
teaching box and the setting software manuals at installation and faultfinding.
