About this Manual
This manual describes information required for designing, testing, adjusting, and maintaining large-capacity
models of servo systems in the
Σ
-V series.
Keep this manual in a location where it can be accessed for reference whenever required. Manuals outlined on
the following page must also be used as required by the application.
Description of Technical Terms
The following table shows the meanings of terms used in this manual.
IMPORTANT Explanations
The following icon is displayed for explanations requiring special attention.
Notation Used in this Manual
• Notation for Reverse Signals
The names of reverse signals (i.e., ones that are valid when low) are written with a forward slash (/) before the
signal name.
Notation Example
BK = /BK
• Notation for Parameters
The notation depends on whether the parameter requires a value setting (parameter for numeric settings) or
requires the selection of a function (parameter for selecting functions).
