Always turn the PORT switch “OFF” first before connecting a controller having this switch.
After the connection is established, put the PORT switch back to the “ON” side.
1) LCD Screen
2) EMERGENCY STOP (Emergency Stop Push Button Switch) (RCM-E)
This switch is a mushroom-shaped push-lock, turn-reset type switch.
This switch is connected to the emergency stop signal line on the controller in a series. Pressing this
switch will bring to the emergency stop status and shut down the power supply to the motor.
(normally, closed: b contact).
[For the emergency stop signal line and its status, refer to the “Controller Instruction Manual” for the one
being connected.]
To release the emergency stop, rotate this switch in the direction indicated with arrows.
(Note) : If multiple controllers are connected using link cables, the EMERGENCY STOP switch is
enabled only for the axis of the controller which is connected to the Teaching Pendant.
: For RCP2-CG (external shutoff relay mount type), ERC and ERC2 series, the EMERGENCY
STOP is only available when an emergency stop circuit is constructed externally. Please make
sure to narrowly read the Instruction Manual for the connected controller.
3) ESC key
• To return to upper level window
A few layers of nest are constructed for the operation of Simple Teaching Pendant. Pressing this key
enables you to go back to the one step higher layer (upper level window).
When you don’t understand the operation, undo the operation by pressing the ESC key.
4) BEGIN/END key
• To finish process and reconnect
By pressing and holding this key for approx. 2.5sec or more, the screen switches to “Begin/End”
window. In this window, it is able to have operations such as to finish the processes of Simple Teaching
Pendant and Data Setter and to reconnect the axes.
• It is able to cancel the input conducted with numeral keys.
• You may clear error warning
When an error occurs, a message for this error will appear at the very bottom of the display screen.
Use this key to clear the error and to clear this message.

When “0” is set, the positioning operation is performed.
7) LoTh … In the case of the PCON-CF controller, the load output signal will be output
when the command torque exceeds the threshold if it is set.
8) Range … Defines the distance before the target position to output the positioning
complete signal during the positioning operation.
During the pressing operation, it enables to set the distance to perform the
pressing operation after reaching the target position.
9) Zone+/− … Defines the zone where the PZONE output signal turns ON.
10) Acc/Dcl Mode … In the case of the ACON and SCON controllers, one of the
acceleration/deceleration patterns can be selected from the trapezoid pattern,
S-shape motion or the first-order delay filter.
11) Incremental … Set to “0” when desired the absolute position command. Set to “1” for the
relative position command.
12) Cmnd Mode … This is ineffective even if performing a setting. It is set to “0” at delivery.

7) Acc only MAX … Set to “0” to reflect the setting done in 4) Acc/Dcl for the
acceleration/deceleration speed.
Set it to “1” and the acceleration speed automatically becomes the maximum
acceleration speed corresponding to the load. Deceleration speed will follow the
setting in 4) Acc/Dcl.

(Note) An actuator operation is not available with RCM-P.
[TP Operation Mode]
Stated below explains TP Operation Mode for RCM-E.
For RCM-P, an actuator operation is not available even in Teach 1 or Teach 2.
• Teach 1
PIO Prh : Enables writing of position data, parameters, etc., in the controller and commands of the
actuator movement system.
SftyVel Efct : Keeps the maximum speed at the safety speed set for the parameter regardless of
position data.
• Teach 2
PIO Prh : Enables writing of position data, parameters, etc., in the controller and commands of the
actuator movement system.
SftyVel Non : Enables movement at the speed registered in position data.
• Monitor 1
PIO Per : Enables monitoring only. Writing of position data, parameters, etc., in the controller and
commands of the actuator movement system are disabled.
SftyVel Efct : The maximum speed is the safety speed set for the parameter regardless of the
command from the PLC.
• Monitor 2
PIO Per : Enables monitoring only. Writing of position data, parameters, etc., in the controller and
commands of the actuator movement system are disabled.
SftyVel Non : It is allowed to move at a speed as commanded from the PLC.
Position Data Setting
Example for inputting Position 1: Position 50.00mm, Velocity 100mm/s, Acceleration 0.1G, Deceleration
0.1G

1) Hold down the BEGIN/END key for approx. 2.5sec or more.
2) Use the Arrow keys to select “Complete” Screen, and then press the Return key.
3) In the case of any controller with a PORT switch, turn the controller PORT switch to OFF.
4) Remove the Simple Teaching Pendant connector.
(Note) : In the case of PCON, ACON, SCON, or ERC2, an instantaneous stop will be made when the
Teaching Pendant is disconnected. However, this is not an error.
(Note) : In the case of the PCON, ACON, or ERC2 controller not having the AUTO/MANU switch, set the
TP Operation Mode to “Monitor 2” before disconnecting the Teaching Pendant from the
controller. (Refer to Instruction Manual)
In the case of ERC2 or when controller setting is made by connecting the Teaching Pendant to
the gateway unit or SIO converter :
• If the Teaching Pendant is disconnected while the setting of “Teach 1” or “Teach 2” remains,
I/O will become invalid and control from PLC will become impossible.
• If the Teaching Pendant is disconnected while the setting of “Monitor 1” remains, the
maximum speed will become the safety speed set for the parameter regardless of a command
from PLC.
Troubleshooting
If the connection does not work properly, check the following item.
Hardware Related Error Detected on RCM-E/RCM-P
Code Error Description Cause and Treatment
308 Response Timeout Error
No response is returned from the
controller.
1) A wire breakage is caused in the controller
connection cable. Check the wiring for or wire
breakage in the connection cable.
2) It is temporary error due to noise.
Re-input the power to the controller.
