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. Use an appropriate teaching tool.
Use the PC Software or an appropriate teaching pendant to interface with this controller.
[Refer to 1.1.2 Teaching Tool]
3. Backup the data to secure for breakdown.
A non-volatile memory is used as the backup memory for this controller. All the registered
position data and parameters are written into this memory and backed-up at the same time.
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 non-volatile memory with using the PC software
(2) Hard-copy the information of position tables and parameters on paper
4. Initial setting the operation
To make this controller flexibly applied in various situations, it is made applicable for six types
of communication standards, possesses six types of fieldbus operation modes for control
method.
The setup can be performed in the initial setting. [Refer to Chapter 3.2 Initial Setting and
Chapter 8 Parameter]
Set the operation mode and operation pattern setting to the logic that suits your use after the
power is turned ON.
5. Clock setting in calendar function
There may be a case in the first time to supply the power after delivery that Gateway Alarm
Code 84A “Real Time Clock Vibration Stop Detected” is generated. In the case this happens,
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, the battery is not fully
charged. Therefore, there may be a case that the clock data is lost even if the days described
above have not passed.
6. Note that there are some frictions and/or torsions in through-hole of rotary
actuator when it is used
When using rotary actuator with a through hole in the center of the revolution and using the
hole to put cables through, have a treatment to prevent wear from rubbing or wire break due to
the cables getting twisted.
Take particular note on actuators of 360 ° rotation specification because they can be rotated
infinitely in a single direction.
