Operation Precautions
Maintenance and Inspection Precautions
W

RNING
Before starting operation with a machine connected, change the settings of the parameters to
match the machine.
Unexpected machine operation, failure, or personal injury may occur if operation is started before
appropriate settings are made.
Do not radically change the settings of the parameters.
There is a risk of unstable operation, machine damage, or injury.
Install limit switches or stoppers at the ends of the moving parts of the machine to prevent
unexpected accidents.
There is a risk of machine damage or injury.
For trial operation, securely mount the Servomotor and disconnect it from the machine.
There is a risk of injury.
When an alarm occurs, the motor will coast to a stop. The coasting distance will change with
the moment of inertia of the load and the motor speed. Check the coasting distance during trial
operation and implement suitable safety measures on the machine.
Do not enter the machine’s range of motion during operation.
There is a risk of injury.
Do not touch the moving parts of the Servomotor or machine during operation.
There is a risk of injury.

UTION
Design the system to ensure safety even when problems, such as broken signal lines, occur.
For example, the E-STP signal is set in the default settings to operate on the safe side if a signal
line breaks. Do not change the polarity of this type of signal.
Always change to the SERVO OFF state before you turn OFF the power supply. If you turn OFF
the power supply without changing to the SERVO OFF state during operation, the Servomotor
will coast to a stop.
NOTICE
When you adjust the gain during system commissioning, use the S Engineering Tool to
monitor the torque waveform and speed waveform and confirm that there is no vibration.
If a high gain causes vibration, the Servomotor will be damaged quickly.
Do not use the product in applications that require the power supply to be turned ON and OFF
frequently.
The elements in the SERVOPACK will deteriorate quickly.
After you complete trial operation of the machine and facilities, use the S to back up
the settings of the SERVOPACK parameters and tables. You can use them to reset the parame-
ters and tables after SERVOPACK replacement.
If you do not copy backed up parameter settings and table data, normal operation may not be pos-
sible after a faulty SERVOPACK is replaced, possibly resulting in machine or equipment damage.

NGER
Do not change any wiring while power is being supplied.
There is a risk of electric shock or injury.

RNING
Wiring, removal work, and inspections must be performed only by qualified engineers.
There is a risk of electric shock or product failure.
