Power Supply and Emergency Stop Circuit
This shows the circuit example when the emergency stop switch in the teaching pendant is enabled on the
emergency stop circuit to be built up by the client.
In the example below, uses PCON-CA. It is the same in case of except for PCON-CA.
Note 1 :
The safety categories complied type (CGB Type, etc.) is not equipped with the relay to have the controller
automatically identify that a teaching tool was plugged in and switch the wiring layout. Those other than the safety
categories complied type do the automatic identification and have S1 and S2 short-circuited.
Note 2 :
When the motor driving source is cut off externally for a compliance with the safety category, connect a contact
such as a contactor to the wires between MPI and MPO. Also, the ratings for the emergency stop signal that turns
ON/OFF at the contact CR1 are 24V DC and 10mA or less.
Note 3 :
For CR1, select the one with coil current 0.1A or less.
Caution
If supplying power with using a 24V DC, having it turned ON/OFF, keep the 0V connected and have the
+24V supplied/cut (cut one side only).
[Reference] Example for operating an actuator by using the standard type (CA or CB Type) with optimum
wiring layout
(Note)
In this example, the emergency stop switch on the teaching pendant would not work.
I/O Signal
Explanation of I/O Signal Functions
Category Abbreviated Code
Signal Name
Contents of Functions
Input
CSTR PTP
Strobe
(Start Signal) Starts moving toward the position set in Command Position No.
PC1 to PC256 Command Position No.
To input position No. desired to move (binary input).
BKRL
Brake Compulsory Release To release the brake compulsorily.
RMOD
Operation Mode
Changeover
Operation Mode can be changed over when MODE Switch on the controller
is on AUTO. (The setting is AUTO when signal is OFF, and MANU when ON.)
*STP Pause
When this signal is turned OFF while in move, the actuator decelerates
and then stops. The remaining movement is in a hold while the actuator is
stopped and will resume when the signal turns back ON.
RES Reset
Turn the signal ON to reset the alarm. Also, when it is turned ON in the
pause mode (*STP is turned OFF), the remaining movement amount can
be cancelled.
SON
Servo ON
The servo remains ON while this signal is ON, or OFF while this signal is OFF.
HOME
Home Return
The controller will perform home return operation when this signal is turned ON.
MODE Teaching
Mode
The operating mode will change to the teaching mode when this signal is
turned ON. The mode will not be switched over unless CSTR, JOG
and
JOG
are all OFF and the actuator operation is stopped.
JISL Jog/Inching
Changeover
Jog Operation can be performed with JOG
and JOG
while this signal is
OFF. Inching Operation is performed with JOG
and JOG
when it is ON.
JOG
JOG
Jog
Jog Operation is performed to positive direction by detecting ON edge of
JOG
signal and to negative direction by JOG
signal while JISL signal is
OFF. The actuator will decelerate and stop if OFF edge is detected while in
each Jog Operation.
Inching Operation is performed while JISL signal is ON.
PWRT Current
Position
Writing
Write the current position to the indicated position if indicating the written position
and turn this signal ON for more than 26ms during the Teaching Mode.
CLBR
(Note1)
Loadcell Calibration
Command
Turn this signal on for 20ms or more and calibration of the loadcell should
be performed.
ST0 to ST6 Start Signal
The actuator moves to the commanded position with this signal ON during
the electromagnetic valve mode.
CSTP Compulsory
Stop
Turning it continuously input for more than 16ms compulsorily stops the
actuator.
TL Torque
Limit
Select Puts torque limitation to the motor with the signal on and the value set to
the parameter.
DCLR
Deviation Counter Clear This is the signal to clear up the differential counter.
RSTR
Datum Position
Movement Command
Applies torque limit to the motor with the signal ON and the value set to the
parameter No.167
Output
PEND/INP Position
Completion
Turns ON in the positioning band range after actuator operation. The INP
signal will turn OFF if the position deviation exceeds the in-position range.
PEND and INP can be switched over by the parameter.
PM1 to PM256 Completion Position No. The position No. reached after the positioning completion, is output (binary output).
HEND
Home Return Completion Turns ON when home-return operation is complete. It will be kept ON
unless the home position is lost.
ZONE1
ZONE2
Zone
Turns ON if the current actuator position is within the range set to the
parameter.
PZONE Position
Zone
Turns ON when the current actuator position gets into the range set to the
position data during the move towards the position. Even though it can be
used together with ZONE1, PZONE will become only available for
operation by the set position number.
RMDS
Operation Mode Output
Outputs the operation mode status. It turns ON when the controller is ON
Manual Mode.
*ALM Alarm
Turns ON when controller in normal condition, and OFF when alarm is
generated.
ALM1 to 8
Alarm Code
The detail of the alarm is output with binary code when an alarm more than
the operation cancel level is issued.
MOVE
While in Operation
Turns ON while the actuator is moving (including home return and
pressing operations).
SV Servo
ON
Turns ON when the servo is ON.
*EMGS Emergency
Stop
Output
Turns ON when the controller emergency stop is cancelled, and OFF
during the emergency stop (regardless of alarms).
MODES
Teaching Mode Output
Turns ON when it turns to the Teaching Mode by MODE signal input. It is
OFF in the normal mode.
WEND Writing
Complete
It is OFF during the teaching mode and turns ON when the writing by
PWRT Signal is complete. It turns OFF when PWRT Signal turns OFF.
PE0 to PE6 Current Position Number Turns ON when moving to the target position is complete in
Electromagnetic Valve Mode.
LS0 to LS2 Limit Switch Output
Turns ON when the current actuator position is within the range of
positioning band (
) of the target position. It is output even before the
movement command and the servo is OFF if the home-return operation is
completed.
CEND
(Note1)
Loadcell Calibration

It turns on once the loadcell calibration is complete. Turn CLBR Signal off
and this signal also turns off.
*ALML Light
Error

Outputs when a message level alarm is generated.
(Parameter setting necessary)
LOAD

Output is made when the current exceeded the value set in “Threshold” for
certain time
(Note)
within the range of “Zone+” and “Zone-“ in the position
data during the pressing operation.
(Note) Setting to be established in Parameter No. 50
It is used for judgments such as to determine if press-fitting process is
completed normally.
TRQS
(Note2)
Torque
Level
Output

“Threshold” in the position table in such cases as the slider (or rod) hitting
an obstacle while in pressing operation, and turns OFF when current goes
below the value
*BALM
(ACON only)
Absolute battery voltage
drop alarm
It turns on when the battery is in the normal voltage range for the serial
absolute type actuator.
It is on all the time for the incremental type actuator.
It can be set to turn off when a message level alarm is generated by the
setting in Parameter No. 151.
TLR Torque
Limit
Restricted
Turns ON when torque reaches the limit while in torque restriction.
REND
Datum Position
Movement Command
Turns ON when movement to the datum position set in Parameter No.167
is finished.
Signal with “*” expresses the signal of active low. It is ON when the power is applied to the controller, and turns OFF when the
signal is output.
(Note 1) The PIO patterns assigned to this signal are dedicated for PCON-CBP/CGBP types. It cannot be used in
PCON-CB/CGB/CFB/CGFB.
(Note 2) It is a signal dedicated for the pulse pressing and the high-thrust actuators (CFA/CFB types).Use this as a reference
