A non-volatile memory is used as the backup memory for this controller. All the registered position data and parameters are written into this memory and backed-up at the same time. Therefore, you will not usually lose the data even if the power is shut down. However, make sure to save the latest data so a quick recovery action can be taken in case when the controller is broken and needs to be replaced with another one.
How to Save Data
(1) Save the data to CD-R or hard disk with using the PC software (2) Hard-copy the information of position tables and parameters on paper
4. Set the operation patterns.
To be applied to variety ways of use, this controller corresponds to the control by each fieldbus and, in addition, it possesses multiple operation (PIO) patterns. Setting can be established in the parameters. [Refer to Chapter 3 Operation and Chapter 7 Parameter.] Set the operation pattern setting to the logic that suits to your use after the power is turned ON.
5. The actuators listed below cannot be connected:
1) Actuator with its motor capacity more than 200W
2) Linear Actuator
3) NS-S Type (Nut rotary actuator)
4) RCS2-SRA7BD
5) Slim Small ROBO Cylinder (RCS2-RN5N/RP5N/GS5N/GD5N/SD5N/TCA5N/TWA5N/TFA5N)
6) When the total of the motor capacity of the connected actuators exceeds 900W for 200V motor power or 450W for 100V type
6. Clock setting in calendar function
There may be a case that Gateway Error Code 84A “Real Time Clock Vibration Stop Detect” is issued at the first time to turn the power ON after the product is delivered. In such a case, set the current time with a teaching tool. If the battery is fully charged, the clock data is retained for approximately 10 days after the power is turned OFF. Even though the time setting is conducted before the product is shipped out, the battery is not fully charged. Therefore, the clock data may be already lost even in 10 days after the product is shipped out.
Warning: Please note it is very risky when the control sequence and PIO pattern setting do not
match to each other. It may not only cause the normal operation disabled, but also may cause an unexpected operation.

7. For the rotary actuator, it is necessary to pay attention to cable breakage due to twisting and other factors.
Especially for the type with a through hole in the center of rotation, and when using it with cables going through the hole, and also for the actuator with 360q rotation, special care is required because there is no limit to the rotation in one direction.
8. Limitations on operation of rotary actuator in index mode
Rotary actuators of 360q specification can select the normal mode for finite rotations or the index mode enabling multi-rotation control by using parameter No.79 “Rotational axis mode selection”. [Refer to Chapter 7 Parameter.] The following limitations are applied to the index mode:
1) Index Mode cannot be selected in the absolute type controllers. It will issue Alarm Code 0A1 “Parameter Data Error”.
2) In the JOG operation by PC software, a teaching pendant or PIO Signal, the indicated range in one time is from 0 to 360.00q and that makes one turn.
3) Pressing is unavailable. The pressing torque can only be set to 0.
4) Do not issue positioning command around 0q repeatedly during movement near 0°. Failure
to follow this may cause the actuator to rotate in the direction reverse to the specified rotation direction or operate indefinitely.
5) Soft stroke limit is invalid in the index mode.
9. According to sequence program creation
Please note the following things when creating a sequence program. When data transfer is necessary between two devices that have a different scan time from each other, duration more than the longer scan time is required to certainly read the signal. (To have the loading process on PLC side safely, it is recommended to set the timer to at least twice longer than the long scanning time.)

PLC (Programmable Logic Controller)
(example: scan time is 20msec)
Output Process
Input Process
As shown in the diagram, the input and output timings of two devices that have different scan time do not match, of course, when transferring a signal. There is no guarantee that PLC would read the signal as soon as this controller signal turns ON. In such a case, make the setting to read the signal after a certain time that is longer than the longer scan time to ensure the reading process to succeed on the PLC side. It is the same in the case this controller side reads the signal. In such a case, it is recommended to ensure 2 to 4 times of the scan time for the timer setting margin. It is risky to have the setting below the scan time since the timer is also processed in the scan process. In the diagram, PLC can only read the input once in 20msec even though this controller output once in 1msec. Because PLC only conducts output process once in 20msec, this controller identifies the same out
p
ut status for that while.
10
Also, if one tries to read the signal that is being re-written by the other, the signal may be read wrongly. Make sure to read the signal after the rewriting is complete. (It is recommended to have more than 2 scan periods to wait.) Make sure not to have the output side to change the output until the other side completes the reading. Also, a setting is made on the input area not to receive the signal less than a certain time to prevent a wrong reading of noise. This duration also needs to be considered.
10. PLC Timer Setting
Do not have the PLC timer setting to be done with the minimum setting. Setting to “1” for 100msec timer turns ON at the timing from 0 to 100msec while 10msec timer from 0 to 10msec for some PLC. Therefore, the same process as when the timer is not set is held and may cause a failure such as the actuator cannot get positioned to the indicated position number in Positioner Mode. Set “2” as the minimum value for the setting of 10msec timer and when setting to 100msec, use 10msec timer and set to “10”.

1.3.2 Selection of Circuit Breaker
For the selection of the circuit breaker, perform it according to the following items.
• 3 times of the rated current flows to the controller during the acceleration/deceleration. Select an interrupter that does not trip with this value of current. If a trip occurs, select an interrupter that possesses the rated current of one grade higher. (Check the operation characteristics curves in the product catalog.)
• Select an interrupter that does not trip with the in-rush current. (Check the operation characteristics curves in the product catalog.)
• Consider the current that enables to cutoff the current even when a short circuit current is flown for the rated cutoff current. Rated Interrupting Current > Short Circuit Current = Circuit Breaker Primary Power Capacity / Power Voltage
Consider margin for the rated current on the circuit breaker.
Rated Current for Circuit Interrupter > Total capacity of motor power for all the connected actuators / AC input voltage
× Safety margin (1.2 to 1.3 for
reference)
27
1.3.3 Selection of Leak Current Breaker
• It may be mandatory by law to install a leakage breaker.
• A ground fault circuit interrupter needs to be selected carefully considering the purposes of prevention of fire and protection of human (Determined by law).
• Leak current varies depending on the capacity of connected motor, cable length and the surrounding environment. Measure the leak current at the point where a ground fault circuit interrupter is to be installed when leakage protection is conducted.
• Use the harmonic type (for inverter) for the ground fault circuit interrupter.

Calculate the capacity with 0.5A per unit when a 24V DC power supply corresponding to transient load change such as peak load appliance is used and capable for the maximum current described above. For other cases, calculate with 1A per unit.
(3) Add the Control Power In Rush Current: 7A ·········································································· 3) [Selection of Power Supply]
Usually, the rated current is to be approximately 1.3 times higher than the total of Control Power 1) and Motor Power 2) above considering approximately 30% of margin to the load current. However, considering the inrush currents [excitation (3)], even though it is a short time, select a power supply with sufficient “peak load capacity”. If a power supply with insufficient peak capacity is utilized, a transient voltage drop or cutoff may occur. This may present issues with power supplies providing remote sensing functionality.
(Remark) Selection of Power Supply Protection Circuit Breaker
It is recommended that the power supply protection is conducted on the primary side (AC power side) of the 24V DC power supply unit. If having 24V DC turned ON/OFF, keep the 0V connected and have the +24V ON/OFF (cut one side only). Be careful to the in-rush current of the 24V DC power supply unit when making a selection. (Check it in the operation characteristics curve graph in a catalog provided by the supplier.) Consider the current that enables to cutoff the current even when a short circuit current is flown for the rated cutoff current.

3.3 Setting of Position Data

The values in the position table can be set as shown below. In the case that only positioning is necessary, all you have to do is to input the position data, and nothing else is required as long as the indication of acceleration and deceleration is needed. For the speed and acceleration/deceleration, the data set to the parameters is automatically reflected to the setting. Therefore, the work can be simple if you put the speed and acceleration/deceleration data to the parameter setting.

Caution: The input value is treated as the angle for the rotary actuator. Therefore; [mm]ĺ[deg] ············· 1.2=1.2deg [mm/s]ĺ[deg/s]········ 100=100deg/s
They are treated as above. Please note that the display on the screen of a teaching tool such as the PC software is in [mm].
1) Position No.········· It is the number commanded by PLC in operation command.
Caution: Do not use position No.0 if available positions remains enough.
At the first servo ON after power ON, the completed position No. output is 0 even if the actuator is not located at position No.0. The actuator enters into the same state as that at positioning to position No.0. The completed position No. output is 0 during movement of the actuator. To use position No.0, get the command history by using the sequence program to check completed position No.0 based on the history.
2) Position [mm] ······ Positioning coordinate value. Enter it as the distance from the home position. For pitch feed (relative movement = incremental feed), enter the pitch width. A value with – indicates that the actuator moves toward the home position. A value without – indicates that the actuator moves to be away from the home position.
Caution: (1) In the case of a Gripper Type:
Set the coordinate value on the single finger basis. Set the value for the movement of one finger from the home position. Stroke information in the specification is shown in the total value of movement distance of the two fingers. Therefore, the stroke is 1/2 of what is described in the specifications.
(2) In the case of a Rotary Type
Set the coordinate value by an angle from the home.

(Reference) How to set the acceleration is described below The same idea
can be applied to the deceleration. 1G=9800mm/s
2
: Acceleration capable to accelerate up to
9800mm/s per second
0.3G : Acceleration capable to accelerate up to 9800mm/s × 0.3 = 2940mm/s per second
Caution: (1) Set the velocity, acceleration and deceleration so that they do not
exceed the rating values described in the brochure or the catalog or instruction manual of the actuator. The setting that exceeds the rated acceleration/deceleration speed may shorten the actuator life remarkably.
(2) Consider to lower the acceleration/deceleration speed when a shock
or vibration is applied to the actuator or work. In such cases, do not continue the use of the actuator, otherwise the product life may be shortened extremely fast.
(3) If the payload is extremely lighter than the rated payload, increase
acceleration/deceleration to larger than their rated values to shorten the tact time. Contact our company. Inform us of the weight, shape and mounting method of the work and the installation conditions of the actuator.
(4) For the gripper type, have the setting done for the speed and
acceleration/deceleration in the basis of one finger. Therefore, note that the relative speed and acceleration/deceleration speed become twice as it is set for the two fingers.
6) Pressing [%] ······· Setting proper data here allows pressing to be done. Set a pressing torque (limit current value) in %. If the value is set to 0, the normal positioning operation is performed. The speed for the pressing operation is set in Parameter No.34. If the setting done in 3) is less than the pressing speed setting value, the pressing operation is performed at this setting value.
7) Threshold [%] ····· Set the threshold value of the pressing torque in %. If the torque (load current) becomes larger than this setting value during pressing, the detection signal is output. This feature is used to monitor the load current and judge whether the operation is good or not in such an operation as press fitting in pressing.

8) Positioning width [mm] ··In Positioner * Mode, Simple Direct Mode and PIO patterns*1 0 to
2 and 4 in Remote I/O Mode, the positioning complete signal is output if the remaining moving distance is entered within the zone set here when positioning is performed. For pressing, the actuator is moved at the setup velocity and acceleration/deceleration in the same way as normal positioning to the position of the coordinate value set in 2) and then performs pressing movement by the data set here. For PIO pattern 5, the positioning band is not the complete signal output range against positioning command. Despite the specified position number, the relevant output signal (LS*) is turned ON when the actuator reaches the setting range. The operation is accomplished as if a sensor were installed to detect the actuator. PIO pattern 5 does not correspond to the pressing operation. Set the positioning band more than the minimum unit of the movement amount (movement amount for one pulse of an encoder) of the used actuator.
*1 PIO pattern: This is the operation pattern of Remote I/O Mode.
[Refer to 3.8 Control and functions of Input and output signals of Remote I/O Mode]
9) Zone + [mm]
(Note)
········· Set the coordinate value on the positive side at which position zone output signal PZONE is turned ON. PZONE is set to ON in the zone between this value and the coordinate value on the negative side set in 10). The feature follows the specified position number. It is valid only when the position is specified but invalid in another position operation.
[Example of PIO pattern 5]
The figure below shows the position table and the position at which each of the LS signals is
turned ON. If the actuator passes any of the positioning bands in the operation by another position number or manual operation in the servo-off state, the relevant LS signal is always turned ON.

Caution at S-shaped Motion
1) Since it requires a speed change during the operation, even if having the position command or direct command that S-shaped motion is set while the actuator is moving, S-shaped motion control cannot be performed and will be the trapezoid control. Make sure to make a command while the actuator is stopped.
2) S-shaped motion control is invalid in the index mode of the rotary actuator. It will be the trapezoid control even if S-shaped acceleration/deceleration control is indicated.
3) Do not use S-shaped acceleration/deceleration control if the setting of the acceleration time or the deceleration time exceeds 2 seconds. It will be the trapezoid control.
4) Do not pause on the move during acceleration or deceleration. It will change the speed (acceleration) and may cause a danger.
Caution at First-order Delay Filter:
1)Since it requires a speed change during the operation, even if having the position command or direct command that first-order delay filter is set while the actuator is moving, first-order delay filter control cannot be performed and will be the trapezoid control. Make sure to make a command while the actuator is stopped.
2) First-order delay filter control is invalid in the index mode of the rotary actuator. It will be the trapezoid control even if first-order delay filter control is indicated

12) Incremental········· Set to 1 for pitch feed (relative movement = incremental feed). The value set for the position in 1) indicates the pitch feed distance. With the value set to 0, positioning is defined to the position in 1) based on the absolute coordinate system.
Caution: In the pitch feed, do not perform a command with a pitch smaller than the
minimum encoder resolution (lead/encoder pulse number) or that less than positioning accuracy repeatability. There would be no deviation to occur even with the command because it is an operation command to the same position as the positioning complete condition, but the positioning control cannot be performed properly. When solenoid valve mode 2 is selected, set this to 0. Setting this to 1 causes the position data error to occur.
13) Gain set ·············· Six parameters required for servo gain adjustment are collected to be a
single set. 4 types of settings are able to be registered and the servo gains can be switched over for each positioning operation. By utilizing Smart Tuning Function
(Note)
in the PC software, the setting close to the
optimum can be obtained.
(Note) Refer to Chapter 9 Appendix Connectable Actuators for the
applicable models. It may require the setting of the gain set dedicated for the home-return operation in the case this function is used to have the high-speed setting or the setting to apply a transported weight more than the ratings. For how to set up and the caution items, refer to the instruction manual for RC PC Software.

Caution: y No retaining torque is provided in automatic servo OFF. Pay sufficient
attention to the setting because the actuator may be moved by external force applied to it.
y Do not use the automatic servo OFF if the next moving command is relative
distance specification (pitch feed). Failure to follow it may cause position shift to occur.
y Do not use the automatic servo OFF in pressing. If used, the pressing force is
lost.
y Automatic Servo OFF would not function in the operation with teaching mode

15)Vibration suppress No.····· Suppresses vibration (sympathetic vibration) of the load
installed on the actuator. It possesses a capacity to deal with 3 types of vibration. There are 4 parameters corresponds to 1 type of vibration and they are compiled in 1 set. Set the parameter set corresponds to the position number necessary for the vibration control in the position table. [Refer to Chapter 5 Vibration Suppress Control Function.

(2) The vibration control is applicable only for the vibration generated by the
load of the actuator connected to this controller. Other vibrations cannot be controlled.
(3) The vibration control is applicable only for the vibration in the direction of the
actuator operation. Vibration in other directions cannot be controlled.
(4) The vibration control is not applicable for home-return and pressing
operations.
(5) If the vibration frequency setting is low, the takt time may become long. The
value below approximately 6Hz makes the positioning finishing to take more than 150ms.
