8.2 Detail Explanation of Parameters
Establish settings for each axis number.
Caution: • If parameters are changed (writing), provide software reset or reconnect
the power to reflect the setting values.
• The unit [deg] is for rotary actuator and lever type gripper. Pay attention
that it is displayed in mm in the teaching tools.

These parameters are used to set the zone in which zone signal (ZONE1 or ZONE2) turns ON.
The minimum setting unit is 0.01 mm [deg].
If a specific value is set to both zone boundary setting positive side and zone boundary setting
negative side, the zone signal is not output.
A setting sample is shown below.
