Precautions in Operation
1. Make sure to follow the usage condition, environment and specification range
of the product.
In case it is not secured, it may cause a drop in performance or malfunction of the product.
2. Wait for 5 seconds or more before rebooting the power.
For the reason of controller circuit structure, startup may not be conducted in normal condition
if the time to turn the power ON after turning it OFF (rebooting) is too short.
3. Use a dedicated teaching tool.
Check in 1.1.2 Teaching Tool for the PC software and the teaching pendant applicable for this
controller.
4. Backup the data to secure for breakdown.
Such data as the position data, programs, parameters and so on registered to this controller is
maintained by being written to the non-volatile memory. Therefore, you will not usually lose the
data even if the power is shut down. However, make sure to save the latest data so a quick
recovery action can be taken in case when the controller is broken and needs to be replaced
with another one.
How to Save Data
(1) Save the data to external memory or hard disk with using the PC software
(2) Hard-copy the information of position tables and parameters on paper
5. Clock Setting in Calendar Function
There may be a case that “Error Code 228 Calendar Data Lost Error (RTC Vibration
Generated Stop Detected)” occurs at the first startup after delivery. In the case this happens,
set the current time with a teaching tool. [Refer to Teaching Tool Instruction Manual described
in 1.1.2 Teaching Tool (Option)]
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, there may be a case that the clock data is lost
even with fewer days than described above passed since the product is shipped out.
