[Basic Operation Procedures]
[1] Operation Mode Setting [Refer to Sections 3.2.1 and 3.9]
Establish the settings for those such as the slave addresses in the Fieldbus using
Gateway Parameter Setting Tool. Establish the settings of the operation mode for all the
axes.
1) Establish the setting following the procedure described in Section 3.2.1
2) Set the gateway parameters to suit the system to be used.
Establish such settings as the calendar function (clock setting) use or the speed unit
change in Direct Indication Mode.
[2] Parameter Settings [Refer to Sections 3.2.2]
Establish the parameter settings on all the connected axes by using a teaching tool such
as the PC software.
1) When using an operation mode in those described in the next page except for Remote
I/O Mode, set the Parameter No. 25 PIO Pattern to 6. When using Remote I/O Mode
(Note 1)
,
establish the setting in Parameter No. 25 PIO Pattern considering the suitable operation
pattern to be used.
[Refer to 3.4.10 Control Signals in Remote I/O Mode.]
Note 1: It is necessary to set all the axes of MCON to Remote I/O Mode.
2) Set the zone (Parameters No.1 and 2) and soft limit (Parameter No.3 and 4) that suit to
the system.
[Refer to Chapter 8 Parameter]
[3] Setting of Position Data [Refer to Sections 3.3]
(Note) Setting of Direct Indication Mode is not necessary.
Set the data for those to be used such as target position, speed, etc. to the position data.
[4] Fieldbus Settings [Refer to Sections 3.4.1 and 3.4.2]
Assign MCON to PLC (master unit).
[Refer to the instruction manuals for the master unit and PLC]
[5] Link to Network
1) Put the operation mode setting switch on the front panel of MCON to AUTO side and
reboot the power. (By putting to AUTO, Fieldbus line activates.)
2) Once the link to PLC (master unit) is established
(Note 2)
, turn ON MON Signal of the
gateway control signals
(Note 3)
. While MON Signal is ON, control from fieldbus is
available.
Note 2: By referring to 3.10 Fieldbus status LEDs display, confirm that the
communication is established in the normal condition.
Note 3: Refer to 3.4.3 Control Signals of Gateway.
[6] Operation Control in Each Operation Mode [Refer to Sections 3.4.4 to 3.4.10]
1) Send the information of the target position, speed, acceleration/deceleration, etc. from
PLC (master unit) to the MCON.
2) The actuator follows the received information of the target position, speed,
acceleration/deceleration, etc. to perform a positioning at the specific coordinates.
3) Confirm the status of positioning complete.
