6. Clock setting in calendar function
There may be a case that Gateway Error Code 84A “Real Time Clock Vibration Stop Detect” is
issued at the first time to turn the power ON after the product is delivered. In such a case, set
the current time with a teaching tool.
If the battery is fully charged, the clock data is retained for approximately 10 days after the
power is turned OFF.
Even though the time setting is conducted before the product is shipped out, the battery is not
fully charged. Therefore, the clock data may be already lost even in 10 days after the product is
shipped out.
7. For the rotary actuator, it is necessary to pay attention to cable breakage due to
twisting and other factors.
Especially for the type with a through hole in the center of rotation, and when using it with
cables going through the hole, and also for the actuator with 360 ° rotation, special care is
required because there is no limit to the rotation in one direction.
8. Limitations on operation of rotary actuator in index mode
Rotary actuators of 360 ° specification can select the normal mode for finite rotations or the
index mode enabling multi-rotation control by using parameter No.79 “Rotational axis mode
selection”.
[Refer to Chapter 7 Parameter.]
The following limitations are applied to the index mode:
1) Index Mode cannot be selected in the absolute type controllers. It will issue Alarm Code
0A1 “Parameter Data Error”.
2) In the JOG operation by PC software, a teaching pendant or PIO Signal, the indicated
range in one time is from 0 to 360.00 ° and that makes one turn.
3) Pressing is unavailable. The pressing torque can only be set to 0.
4) Do not issue positioning command around 0 ° repeatedly during movement near 0°. Failure
to follow this may cause the actuator to rotate in the direction reverse to the specified
rotation direction or operate indefinitely.
5) Soft stroke limit is invalid in the index mode.
