No →
Check Item
Any vibration or abnormal noise?
Check if there is any problem with the installation of the actuator and
the condition of the actuator use exceeds the ranges of the rated
values. Adjust the servo if necessary.
↓
Test Run Adjustment 2
Output an operation command from the host (such as PLC) to check by the system operation.
Establish Link
to Fieldbus
1) Assign MCON as the host controller [Refer to the instruction manual of the master unit].
2) Put the operation mode setting switch on the front panel to AUTO side, and reboot the power.
3) Once the link with the master unit is established, turn ON MON signal in the gateway control signals.
(While MON Signal is ON, control from fieldbus is available.)
↓
Important Check Item
• Is frame ground (FG) connected?
• Has the noise countermeasure been taken?
Power Supply and Alarm Check

Initial Setting
1) Have the fieldbus and operation mode setting conducted with the gateway parameter setting tool.
2) Set up the parameters (operation patterns) for each axis on the PC software.
Servo ON
Turn the servo ON for all the connected axes by operating the PC.
Caution
Please perform this process with the actuator away from the mechanical end or interfering objects as much as
possible. Move the actuator away from interfering surroundings. It may generate an alarm if the actuator hit the
mechanical end or interfering objects when the servo is turned ON.
The slider may get slightly dropped by self-weight if servo ON and OFF is repeatedly performed at the same position.
Be careful not to pinch the hand or damage the work.
