Basic Specifications 

Characteristics 

(1)  This is a position controller which can set 64 positioning points as standard and 512 

points at maximum. The position number depends on the PIO pattern which can be 

selected by the parameter. 

(2)  Zone output boundaries can be set for each position. 
(3)  Acceleration and deceleration can be set separately for each position. 
(4)  The feed speed to be used in trial run and adjustment can be limited to ensure safety. 
(5)  The power-saving mode can be selected by the parameter in situations where the 

actuator must stand by for a long time period.

*1:  The rush current, which is approx. 5 to 12 times the 

rated current, flows for approx. 1 to 2msec after 
power-on. Please note that the rush current value 
varies depending on the impedance of the power 
line. 

*2:  The current becomes maximum during the detection 

of the excitation phase of the servo motor performed 
in the initial servo ON processing after power-on. 
(Normal: Approx. 1 to 2sec, Maximum: 10sec) 

   

 

As a +24V DC power supply, 
select the power supply of the 
“peak load support” specification 
or one with sufficient capacity. 
In particular, in the case of the 
unit with the remote sensing 
function, the greatest care is 
required. 

 

  NOTE 1:  Position data and parameters are written to EEPROM. 

Please note that the rewrite limit is around 100,000 times.
