Starting Procedure

 

When using this product for the first time, make sure to avoid mistakes and incorrect wiring by referring to 
the procedure below 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

●  Node Address Setting 

The node address is set using specific parameters. 

Set the parameter No.85 “NADR: Fieldbus Node 
Address” using the personal computer application 
software for RC. 
Settable Range : 61 to 7F [hex] 
(It is set to “61” when the machine is delivered from 
the factory.) 

●  Communication Speed Setting 

Set the parameter No.86 “FBRS: Fieldbus 
Communication Speed” using the personal computer 
application software for RC. 

Manual No.: ME0303-7A

Check of Packed Items 
Are there all the delivered items? 

No 

Contact the sales shop. 

Installation and Wiring 
Install the controller and actuator and perform wiring according  
to the instruction manual and the contents in this book. 

Yes 

Point Check Item 

·

Have you performed the frame grounding (FG) and protective earthing (PE)?

·

Has the noise countermeasure been taken?

Yes 

Operation Mode Setting 
Set it according to the items for the operation modes and functions, and each fieldbus.
(Operation Mode, Station No. and Communication Speed)

Power Supply and Alarm Check 
Connect the personal computer or teaching pendant, set the mode  
change switch to “MANU” side and input the power to each unit. 
Select [Teaching Mode 1 Safety Speed Enabled/PIO Startup Disabled]  
in the personal computer application software or the teaching pendant. 
 

Check Item 
Is the LED indicator 
[ALM] turned OFF on 
the front panel?

No

Yes 

Connect the personal computer or 
teaching pendant and confirm the 
alarm description to treat the problem.

Set the Safety Speed
Set it using the parameter No.35, if necessary.
When the machine is delivered, the safety speed has been set to “100mm/s”.

Servo ON 
Turn ON the servo motor with the personal computer or  
teaching pendant operation. 

Caution

When the machine is turned ON/OFF repeatedly at the same  
position, it might be lowered slightly due to its own weight.  
Take care not to catch your hand or damage the work. 

Check Item 
Does the Status LED Indicator  
[SV] illuminate in green? 

When an alarm is sounded, connect the  
personal computer or teaching pendant  
and confirm the alarm description to treat  
the problem. 

Check of Safety Circuit 

Yes 

Yes 

Yes 

Yes 

Yes 

Check that the emergency stop circuit (or motor drive-power cutoff circuit) 
operates normally to turn OFF the servo.

No 

No 

Check the emergency stop circuit. 

Target Position Setting 
Set a target position in the “Position” field for each position in the position table. 
When carrying out direct teaching, perform home return operation first. 
When the unit is equipped with the brake, move it after setting the brake release switch to “BK RLS” side. 

Caution

To ensure safety, it is recommended  
that safety speed be enabled during  
initial movements. 

Trial Run Adjustment 
(1) Set the safety speed to “Disable” using the personal computer application 
     software or teaching pendant and perform the performance check.
(2) Set the personal computer or teaching pendant to “MANU” operation mode, 
     select the “Monitor Mode 2: Safety Speed Disabled/PIO Start-up Permitted” 
     and then, remove it from the controller.
(3) Set the mode toggle switch to “AUTO”.
(4) Set the fieldbus on the host side.

No 

In the case that vibration or abnormal noise is caused 
Confirm that there is no problem in the actuator  
installation or the actuator operation condition demands  
more than the rated voltage. 

Check Item 
Start up the host side and check if the LED indications on the front panel 
for each fieldbus are as follows.
CC-Link : ERR OFF,  RUN Green Light is turned ON.
DeviceNet, CompoNet, PROFIBUS : Green light is turned ON for both MS and NS.
MECHATROLINK : Green light is turned ON for both STATUS1 and STATUS0.

No 

·

Check the station No. setting.

·

Check the terminal resistance.

·

Check the communication speed setting.

The driving preparation was completed above. Please do the system driving adjustment.
