8.7 Controller input signal response time
The controller input signal response time includes the following factors.
1) Controller input signal scan time
2) Delay due to input signal analysis
3) Delay due to command analysis
Leave an interval of 15ms or more (recommendation is 30 ms) between input signals and maintain
the state of the signal for 15ms or more (recommendation is 30 ms), because PLC processing delays
and controller scanning delays could occur.
8.8 Methods of interrupting operation
There are three methods of interrupting the operation and stopping the actuator during a positioning
operation or pushing operation, as shown below. The state after the interruption varies, therefore use
the method appropriate to the application.
- Stop using the EMG signal
If the EMG signal is turned OFF during operation, the actuator will decelerate and stop, the servo
will turn OFF which means the stopped position is not held. (For an actuator with lock, the position
is held by the lock function).
The residual travel distance will be reset.
- Stop using the RESET signal
If the RESET signal is turned ON during operation, the actuator will decelerate and stop, and the
stopped position is held. (The servo does not turn OFF).
The residual travel distance will be reset.
- Stop using the HOLD signal
If the HOLD signal is turned ON during operation, the actuator will decelerate and stop. The
actuator will resume travel for the residual distance when the HOLD signal is turned OFF.
