Starting Procedures 

When using this product for the first time, make sure to avoid mistakes and incorrect wiring by referring to the 
procedure below. “PC” stated in this section means “PC software”. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 

Trouble Shooting 

In the case an error is occurred, check the operation status on the LED display on the front panel [Refer to 
Each Fieldbus Section], and also, check the status monitor by connecting a teaching tool such as PC software 
for RC. 
Either of the following alarms will be shown for Fieldbus. Please refer to the Instruction Manual of the controller 
for other alarms to perform an appropriate treatment.

Check of Packed Items
Are there all the delivered items?

Please contact the distributor.

Point Check Item
• Is frame ground (FG) connected?
• Has the noise countermeasure been taken?

Power Supply and Alarm Check
Connect a teaching tool such as PC, turn the mode changeover 
switch to “MANU” side and turn the power on for each unit.
Select [Teaching Mode 1 Safety Speed Activated / PIO 
Operation Invalid] in the teaching tool such as PC.

Check Item
Is the orange light [ALM] on 
the LED status display off? 

Connect the PC or teaching 
pendant and check the 
content of the alarm to have 
the right treatment.

Safety Speed Setting
Set it in Parameter No. 35 if necessary. The safety speed is set to 100mm/s at the delivery.

Servo ON
Turn the servo on with the operation on the teaching 
tool such as PC. 

Check Item
Is the green light [SV] on 
the LED status display on?

If an alarm is generated, connect 
the PC or teaching pendant and 
check the content of the alarm to 
have the right treatment.

      CAUTION
Please perform this process with the actuator away from the mechanical end or 
interfering subjects as much as possible.
Put the actuator away if it interferes with surroundings. It may generate an alarm if the 
actuator hit the mechanical end or interfering subjects when the servo is turned on. 
The slider may get slightly dropped by self-weight if servo on and off is repeatedly 
performed at the same position. Be careful not to pinch the hand or damage the work.

Safety Circuit Check
Does the emergency stop circuit (drive cutoff circuit) work properly and 
turn the servo off?

Target Position Setting (This section is not necessary for □□ Direct Mode and MECHATROLINK-

III

.)

Set the target position in “Position” Box in each position table.
Perform a home-return operation first when Direct Teaching is to be performed. When moving the 
actuator manually, set the Brake Release Switch to “BK RLS” side for the brake equipped type.
Put the switch back after the setting is complete.  

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

If there is a vibration or abnormal 
noise generated, check the actuator 
if it is installed properly, the condition 
for its use is below the rated 
values, etc.

Test Run Adjustment
1) Check the operation with setting the safety speed invalid on the teaching tool such as PC software.
2) 

Select “Monitor Mode 2 Safety Speed Invalid / PIO Available to Boot” in MANU 
Operation Mode and remove the PC or teaching pendant from the controller.

3) Set the Mode Changeover Switch to “AUTO” side.
4) Conduct the Fieldbus setting on the host side.

Check Item
Turn on the power to the host side.  Is the LED display on the front panel as shown below for each 
Fieldbus?
CC-Link : STATUS 1 is off and STATUS 0 is turned on in green
DeviceNet and CompoNet : Both MS and NS are turned on in green
PROFIBUS, MECHATROLINK

I

 and 

II

 : Both STATUS1 and STATUS0 are turned on in green.

Either of MECHATROLINK

III

- LK1 or LK2 is turned on in green

Now it is ready for operation. Proceed to the system operation adjustment.

↓ Yes

No

Installation and Wiring
Install and wire the actuator and the controller following the 
instructions described in the Instruction Manual and this guide.

Initial Operation Check
Connect our controller to the actuator.
Connect a teaching tool such as PC, set the operation mode setting switch to “MANU” side and turn the power on.
Confirm the operation by performing a home-return operation and jog operation in full stroke range on the teaching tool.

      CAUTION 
Be careful not to pinch the hand or damage the mechanical hand by the slider dropped with the 
self-weight when turning the brake release switch to “BK RLS” side if it is mounted vertically. 

↓ Yes

→ • Check the station number setting.

• Check the terminal resistor.
• Check the baud rate setting.

No
