|
and Start |
Ɣ Use our company’s genuine cables for connecting between the actuator |
|
|
|
and controller, and for the teaching tool. |
ƔDo not scratch on the cable. Do not bend it forcibly. Do not pull it. Do not coil it around. Do not insert it. Do not put any heavy thing on it. Failure to do so may cause a fire, electric shock or malfunction due to leakage or continuity error.
ƔPerform the wiring for the product, after turning OFF the power to the unit, so that there is no wiring error.
ƔWhen the direct current power (+24V) is connected, take the great care of the directions of positive and negative poles. If the connection direction is not correct, it might cause a fire, product breakdown or malfunction.
ƔConnect the cable connector securely so that there is no disconnection or looseness. Failure to do so may cause a fire, electric shock or malfunction of the product.
ƔNever cut and/or reconnect the cables supplied with the product for the purpose of extending or shortening the cable length. Failure to do so may cause the product to malfunction or cause fire.
(3) Grounding
ƔThe grounding operation should be performed to prevent an electric shock or electrostatic charge, enhance the noise-resistance ability and control the unnecessary electromagnetic radiation.
ƔFor the ground terminal on the AC power cable of the controller and the
grounding plate in the control panel, make sure to use a twisted pair cable with wire thickness 0.5mm2 (AWG20 or equivalent) or more for grounding work. For security grounding, it is necessary to select an appropriate wire thickness suitable for the load. Perform wiring that satisfies the specifications (electrical equipment technical standards).

(4) Safety Measures |
||
|
and Start |
Ɣ When the work is carried out with 2 or more persons, make it clear who |
|
|
|
is to be the leader and who to be the follower(s) and communicate well |
|
|
|
with each other to ensure the safety of the workers. |
ƔWhen the product is under operation or in the ready mode, take the safety measures (such as the installation of safety and protection fence) so that nobody can enter the area within the robot’s movable range. When the robot under operation is touched, it may result in death or serious injury.
ƔMake sure to install the emergency stop circuit so that the unit can be stopped immediately in an emergency during the unit operation.
ƔTake the safety measure not to start up the unit only with the power turning ON. Failure to do so may start up the machine suddenly and cause an injury or damage to the product.
ƔTake the safety measure not to start up the machine only with the emergency stop cancellation or recovery after the power failure. Failure to do so may result in an electric shock or injury due to unexpected power input.
ƔWhen the installation or adjustment operation is to be performed, give clear warnings such as “Under Operation; Do not turn ON the power!” etc. Sudden power input may cause an electric shock or injury.
ƔTake the measure so that the work part is not dropped in power failure or emergency stop.
ƔWear protection gloves, goggle or safety shoes, as necessary, to secure safety.
ƔDo not insert a finger or object in the openings in the product. Failure to do so may cause an injury, electric shock, damage to the product or fire.
ƔWhen releasing the brake on a vertically oriented actuator, exercise precaution not to pinch your hand or damage the work parts with the actuator dropped by gravity.
5Teaching Ɣ When the work is carried out with 2 or more persons, make it clear who
is to be the leader and who to be the follower(s) and communicate well with each other to ensure the safety of the workers.
ƔPerform the teaching operation from outside the safety protection fence, if possible. In the case that the operation is to be performed unavoidably inside the safety protection fence, prepare the “Stipulations for the Operation” and make sure that all the workers acknowledge and understand them well.
ƔWhen the operation is to be performed inside the safety protection fence, the worker should have an emergency stop switch at hand with him so that the unit can be stopped any time in an emergency.
ƔWhen the operation is to be performed inside the safety protection fence, in addition to the workers, arrange a watchman so that the machine can be stopped any time in an emergency. Also, keep watch on the operation so that any third person can not operate the switches carelessly.
ƔPlace a sign “Under Operation” at the position easy to see.
ƔWhen releasing the brake on a vertically oriented actuator, exercise precaution not to pinch your hand or damage the work parts with the actuator dropped by gravity.
* Safety protection Fence : In the case that there is no safety protection fence, the movable range should be indicated.

1. Make sure to follow the usage condition, environment and specification range of the product.
Not doing so may cause a drop of performance or malfunction of the product.
2. Use the following teaching tools.
Use the PC software and the teaching pendant stated in the next clause as applicable for this controller.
[Refer to 1.1.2 Teaching Tool.]
3. Backup the data to secure for breakdown.
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.
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.
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.
8
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.)
|
Operation Image |
|
||
|
PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) |
|
||
|
(example: scan time is 20msec) |
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. |
|
|
|
|
This controller |
There is no guarantee that PLC would read the |
|
|
|
(scan time 1msec) |
signal as soon as this controller signal turns |
|
|
|
|
ON. |
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
In such a case, make the setting to read the |
|
|
Output |
|
|
|
|
|
signal after a certain time that is longer than the |
||
|
Process |
|
|
longer scan time to ensure the reading process |
|
|
|
|
to succeed on the PLC side. |
|
|
|
|
It is the same in the case this controller side |
Input |
|
|
reads the signal. |
|
|
|
|
||
|
|
In such a case, it is recommended to ensure 2 |
||
|
Process |
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 output status for that while. |
9
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”.
