2. Product Outline 
2.1 Product features 
The followings are the main functions of this controller: 
 
Electric Actuator Control 
Positioning operation and Pushing operation, at a specific speed and force, of the electric actuator 
are possible by controlling the Step motor (24 VDC servo). 
 
Specified force operation 
Control the pushing force (or the pressing force) of the electric 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  electric  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 electric 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  electric  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 parameter setup, status monitoring, trial run and alarm reset via the serial 
communication with a PC installed with the controller setting kit or the teaching box. 
 
Easy mode and Normal mode 
There are two available modes for the controller setting kit 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.
