Handling Precautions

• When the [para] key is held down for 2 seconds or longer,

"LoC" will appear.  This means you are at the lock setup
menu.  Since there is no item to set up, press the [display] or
[a/m] key to return to the operation display.

Setting example for position proportional control dead zone

Display "C58" on the upper display in the setup display mode.  When the
[enter] key is pressed, the numerical value on the lower display will start to
flash.  Move the digit and increase/decrese the numeric value by pressing
the [<][ ][ ] keys.  When the [enter] key is pressed at the desired numeric
value, the flashing will stop and the data will be set.

Setting example for motor auto adjustment

Display "C60" on the upper display in the setup display mode.  When the
[enter] key is pressed, the numerical value on the lower display will start to
flash.  Move the digit and increase/decrese the numeric value by pressing
the [<][ ][ ] keys.  Set the value to "1" and press the [enter] key, and auto
adjust will start.  The following items must be set up only when they are
changed from their defaults: center setting of the rotation angle,
proportional band setting, motor opening high/low limit event setting.

Selection of direct/reverse control action

You can select reverse or direct action of the RN748 by turning dital input 3
ON or OFF (DI3: between terminals 19 and 24) .

For the difference between direct and reverse action, see the figure in 

"

Setting example for the center of rotation and proportional band" 

(on

this page).  Furthermore, you can switch between direct and reverse action
while running the RN748.

Adjustment and setting

Connect the RN748, controller, motor and other related devices correctly.
Then turn the power on and make adjustments and settings in the following
sequence:
(1) Do motor auto adjustment 

(2) set the center of rotation angle 

(3)

set the proportional band 

(4) set the dead zone 

(5) set the high/low

limit events for the motor opening.
The sections below show the details of each procedure.

Motor auto adjustment

Handling Precautions

• Be sure to execute auto adjustment.  If the device is used

without doing auto adjustment, the motor may not operate
properly.

• Motor auto adjustment procedures

1. Set [C60: Motor auto adjustment] to 1 and press the [enter] key.  If the C60

is already set to 1, press the [enter] key twice to perform this entry.

2. Motor auto adjustment then begins.

• The upper display shows 

and the relay on the CLOSE side is

turned ON.

• The motor rotates in the close direction, and the MFB count value is

written into [Fully closed adjustment value].

• The upper display shows 

, and the relay on the OPEN side is

turned ON.

• The motor rotates in the open direction, and the MFB count value is

shown on the lower display. When the counting stops, the fully open
adjustment is completed.  This count value is then written into [Fully
open adjustment value]. Additionally, the period of time that has elapsed
from the fully closed position to the fully open position is written into
[Full opening time].  However, if this time is 240.0s or longer, this
parameter is set to 240.0s.

• When the motor auto adjustment has been completed, the basic display

screen will appear.

3. To cancel the adjustment, press the 

[display]

key.

When motor auto adjustment starts, keys other than the [display] key,
which is used to cancel the adjustment, cannot be operated.  If any of the
items below occurs, each value is returned to its default setting before
shipment and AL10 is shown as the troubleshooting process.  AL10 is
cleared only when motor auto adjustment has been completed correctly or
when the power is reset.

• The count value between the fully closed position and fully open position

is less than 260.

• The fully closed count is greater than the fully open count.
• The period of time from the fully closed position to the fully open

position is less than 5s.

• The MFB burnout alarm (AL07) continues or occurs frequently.
• The time needed for the MFB count to stop exceeds 5min.
• The MFB or open/close relay has faulty wiring.

(However, not all faulty wiring can be detected as an error.)

Handling Precautions

• If the power to the RN748 is turned OFF during motor auto

adjustment of the position proportional control, motor auto
adjustment is cancelled when the power is turned ON again.

• Even if an AUTO/MANUAL mode changeover is made during

motor auto adjustment of the position proportional control, the
auto adjustment continues.

• If the control output (on the OPEN or CLOSE side) is forcibly

turned ON or OFF by the digital input 1 or 2 during auto
adjustment of the position proportional control, the auto
adjustment may continue.  Even if it does not stop, the result
of adjustment is incorrect.  It is necessary to repeat the
adjustment without forced ON/OFF.

• It is not possible to display the values saved for fully closed

adjustment value, fully open adjustment value, and full
opening time.

Motor auto adjustment operation

This unit has functions (AL07, AL10) that detect incorrect wiring to the
motor and MFB burnout or short-circuit.  In the same manner as described
for direct wiring, the unit judges the reverse wiring as correct and does not
give any alarm.  In addition, even if MFB burnout occurs, the operation
continues.
The tables below summarize characteristics of each wiring method when
motor auto adjustment is made (when [C60: Motor auto adjustment] is set to
[1: Start]).  At this time, note that the motor is started from the fully closed
position (rotated fully counterclockwise).  Numeric values shown in the
Lower display column of the tables are examples.

Correct direct wiring

Correct reverse wiring

Alarm indications and causes due to incorrect wiring

Setting the center of rotation angle

When the center of the rotation angle is identical to the input (IN), the MV
(OUT) is 50%.
For details refer to:
Setting example "for the center of ratation and proportional band"

Setting the proportional band

When the input (IN) has changed by the amount of the proportional band
setting, the MV (OUT) changes in a range between 0 and 100%.
For details refer to:
Setting example "for the center of ratation and proportional band" below.

Setting example for the center of rotation and proportional band

1. Center of rotation angle: 50% (12mA) 2. Center of rotation angle: 25% (8mA)

Proportional band: 100% (16mA)

Proportional band: 50% (8mA)

3. Center of rotation angle: 75% (16mA)

Proportional band: 50% (8mA)
