(6) OUT0, OUT1
The OUT0 and OUT1 output functions can be reconfigured to perform the functions described below
in the "I/O Setup" tab of the Controller Setting Software. INP is set as a default for OUT0, and INF for
OUT1
.
INP signal
The output turns ON when the Card Motor table is within the INP output range of the ”Target Position”.
The output condition varies depending on each operation mode.
- During the Return to Origin operation ·····The output turns ON when the Return to Origin operation has
been completed.
- During positioning operation ···················The output turns ON when the Card Motor table has reached
within the INP output range of the current “Target Position”.
- During pushing operation ·······················The output turns ON when the Card Motor table is within the
INP output range of the current “Target Position”.
If the table exceeds the target position and moves outside
the INP output range, the INP signal will turn OFF again.
INF signal
Turns ON when the pushing force exceeds the set "Threshold Force Value” after the Card Motor table
has come into contact with the workpiece during pushing operation. The INF signal is disabled in
positioning operation both when moving and when held in position.
The "Threshold Force Value" can be set in the "I/O Setup" tab in the Controller Setting Software.
Caution
The "Threshold Force Value" is set in the "I/O Setup" tab as a general value for all pushing operation
Step Data, and the "Thrust Setting Value" can be set individually for each Step Data. Therefore the INF
output may be activated also when the pushing force differs from the set "Thrust Setting Value".
INFP signal
Turns ON when the current Card Motor table position has reached within the positioning repeatability
range for the connected Card Motor. The output conditions for each operation mode are similar to
those for the INP signal.
AREA signal
Turns ON when the actuator is within the output range between ”Position 1” and ”Position 2”.
The "Position 1” to ”Position 2" range can be set in the "I/O Setup" tab in the Card Motor Controller
Setting Software.
A maximum of two position ranges, “AREA A” and “AREA B”, can be selected for the AREA output
signal, and the ”Position 1” to “Position 2” range can be set individually for each of them. It is possible
to set only one signal function per output for OUT0 and OUT1.
