2.1 Features
Features of the controller.
●PROFINET compatible
This device can be directly connected to a PROFINET fieldbus network. It will then be possible to
establish communication with a PROFINET Master (PLC).
●Actuator control
Positioning operation and operation at a specific speed and force for the actuator are possible by
controlling the Step motor (servo 24VDC).
●Specified force operation
Control the pushing force or the pressing force of the actuator.
●Separated power supply
Power supply input is separated into the motor power supply and control power supply. Even if the
power supply for the motor is turned OFF, the information from the encoder position is retained whilst
the control power supply is ON, and PROFINET communication and serial communication is available.
●Return to origin
Returning to origin is possible by a signal from PROFINET.
●Alarm detection function
Abnormal conditions are automatically detected. Alarms are output via EtherNet/IP communication.
The alarm history can be stored in the controller memory.
●Positioning / pushing operation is available with step data and numerical operation mode
It is possible to operate the actuator by using the saved step data and by numeric data operation
instruction by using PROFINET communication.
In the step data operation mode, the operation is instructed by manipulating the memory which is
relevant to input/output port such as DRIVE signal and INP signal. The actuator operates in
accordance with the step data operating pattern of the specified step data.
In the numerical operation mode, the operation is executed by specifying the releveant numeric data.
●”AREA” signal
The controller has an “AREA” signal that turns ON 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 status monitoring, reset alarms and set Step data via PROFINET
communication, ACT controller software or teaching box. In addition the ACT controller software or
teaching box can be used for parameter setup and trial run.
●Easy mode and Normal mode
There are two available modes for the controller setting software and the teaching box. In Easy mode,
you can start the operation by only setting the speed, position, etc. In Normal mode, further detailed
setup can be performed.
Caution
When the device is set up or failure occurs, please refer the operation manual of the actuator and
the teaching box as well as this operation manual.
Keep this operation manual accessible for reference when necessary.
