Precautions for Handling

ME0384-4A
5. Except for the EC connection unit, servo ON signal SON must be entered to enable operation.
The SON signal puts the actuator into an operable status.
6. Calendar function time setting
Gateway alarm code 84A "Real Time Clock Oscillation Stop Detected" may occur when turning
the power on for the first time after delivery. In that case, set the current time with the teaching
tool.
When fully charged, time data can be retained approximately 10 days after the power is turned
OFF.
At shipment, time will be set but the unit will not be fully charged. Therefore, even if the
above-mentioned number of days has not passed from shipment, the time data may be lost.
7. Be careful of rubbing or twisting when using the through hole of the rotary actuator.
If using a rotary actuator with rotational center through hole, with cables, etc. inserted to the
through hole, take measures against wear due to rubbing, or wire disconnection due to twisting.
Be particularly cautious if the actuator is 360-degree specification, as it can infinitely rotate in the
same direction.
8. There are restrictions on index mode operation of the rotary actuator.
With use of Parameter No. 79 "Rotary Axis Mode Select", rotary actuators with 360-degree
specification allow selection of normal mode which provides limited rotation operation, or index mode
which enables multi-rotation control.
[Refer to Startup Section Chapter 6, 6.1 Parameter]
The index mode has the following restrictions.
(1) In jog or inching operation using teaching tools such as PC software, etc., the one-time
command range enables a maximum of 360° in jog operation, or 1° in inching operation.
(2) Pushing cannot be performed. For push torque, settings other than 0 cannot be made.
(3) Do not repetitively execute positioning commands around 0 degree numerous times while
traveling in the vicinity of 0 degree. The rotation direction may switch, or operation may
become unstable.
(4) Software stroke limit is disabled in index mode.
