Starting Procedures
When using this product for the first time, make sure to avoid mistakes and incorrect wiring by referring to
the procedure below.
In this section, explains how to start up especially for REC system. Follow an instruction manual (DVD) for
each device for how to link to other devices, controllers and actuators that are linked in the network.
Troubleshooting (LED Display)
On REC Gateway Unit, there are the monitor LEDs for the field network and communication.
You can confirm the communication establishment and also communication errors on these LEDs.
Refer to “Names for Each Part” for the position and name of each LED lamp.

Check of Packed Items
Are all the delivered items present?
Contact your local IAI distributor
Installation and Wiring
* Refer to [Installation and Noise Elimination] in this first step guide
Install the controller and actuator and perform wiring according.
Important Check Item
•
Is frame ground (FG) connected?
•
Has the noise countermeasure been taken?
↓
← Yes
Initial Settings (Setup of ELECYLINDER) * Teaching Tool is required
Establish the parameter settings for each ELECYLINDER.
PLC (Master Unit) Baud Rate
* Refer to PLC Instruction Manual.
Have the settings established for the PLC node addresses (station
numbers) and the baud rate.
Initial Settings (Setup of Gateway) * Gateway parameter setting tool is required
Have the settings done for the axis number setting, mode settings, field network communication speed, node addresses
(station numbers) and so on to suit to the system.
↓
No →
Power Supply
1) Supply the power to PLC (master unit).
2) Supply the power to REC.
Check the status of LED lamps to see the
cause of the error to have an appropriate
counteraction. Do the whole process from
the start if the cause of the error is not
clear.
↓
Communication Establishment Check
•
Confirm that the communication has been established with the
LED lamp on EC Gateway Unit.
* Refer to “Troubleshooting” in this first step guide
•
Confirm that communication is established also on PLC (master unit).
* Refer to PLC Instruction Manual.
Check the circuit.
↓Yes
Now, it is succeeded to establish communication and ready for operation.
Move on to the system operation check and adjustment.
↓
Assembling REC (Linking up Units)
Join the units to use such as the EC Gateway Unit, EC Connection Unit and REC Terminal Unit.
↓
↓
Important Check Item
•
Is the control sequence applicable for
the continuous mode and the system?
↓Yes
