Remarks
1 Power
Power on
LED status: OFF →
Orange ON
→
Green ON
24 V DC power supply is
turned ON.
2
Output
* ALM
Turns ON if no alarm has
been triggered.
3
Input
ST0
t1
When the [ST0] signal is
turned ON, home return
operation begins.
4
Output
LS0
t2
Home return operation is
complete and the unit
moves to the backward end.
5
Input
ST1
t2
Moves to the forward end.
6
Output
LS1
Moved to the forward end.
7
Input
ST0
t2
Moves to the backward end.
8
Output
LS0
Moved to the backward end.
9
After this, "

" to "
8
" repeat.
t1: Wait approximately 0.5 seconds from when the *ALM signal turns ON before inputting the first
command.
t2: The time taken for the ELECYLINDER actually to reach the forward or backward end after the LS
signal turns ON. Consider
t2 when giving instructions for the next operation from the PLC to the
ELECYLINDER.
t2 becomes longer for larger detection ranges.
t2 also changes with the size of the transported load and acceleration/deceleration speeds.
