1.2.2 Communication cable
(1) Selection
Use a communication cable for connection of the personal computer and the servo amplifier.
Choose the communication cable according to the shape of the RS-232C connector of the personal
computer used.
POINT
Depending on the personal computer us ed, any of the following cables may
be used.
Confirm the RS-232C connector signal carefully, refer to this section and
fabricate the cable.
For fabrication, refer to the connection diagr am in this section. When fabricating th e cable, read and
follow the instructions below:
1) Always use a multi-core cable with a shield and connect the shield to FG securely.
2) Wiring distance depends on surrounding environment but should be as short as possible.
Maximum distance is 15m(49.2feet) in environmentally good plac es with littl e nois e, e. g. offices.

WARNING
CAUTION
(1) Servo on
In the Jog, Positioning, Demo Mode or Single-step Feed available in the Test, the servo amplifier's
digital input signal SON is automatically switched on in the servo amplifier to start operation,
independently of the ON/OFF status of SON. Also, any external command pulse or input signal
(except emergency stop) is not accepted until the test mode window is closed to terminate the
command.
SON is automatically switched on by the following operation:

Keep the front cover closed while power is on the equipment is running.
Otherwise, you may get an electric shock.
Before starting oper ation, make sur e th at th e par ameters are set t o c or r ec t va l ues .
Depending on machines, they may operate unpredictably.
While power is on or for some time after power-off, keep clear of the servo
amplifier´s heat sink and regenerative brake resistor, the servo motor, etc. as they
may be high temperatures. Otherwise, you may get burned.

Used to set the command speed given to the servo
motor for positioning. The set value should be not
more than the permissible speed of the servo motor
used.
Used to set the acceleration/deceleration time. (Time
required to reach the rated speed of the corresponding
servo motor)
Used to execute movement by the preset pulses.
Positioning operation is performed with the set values
of the feedrate (SPN) and acceleration /deceleration
time (STC).
No symbol: CCW rotation,
This command is available for the MR-J2S-A MRJ2M-P8A.
Used to hold the next operation until the preset digital
input signal (DI) of the servo amplifier switches on. By
setting 99, the next operation will be performed
unconditionally. Set the input signal as listed below:
For the MR-J2S-A, any signal not allocated by signal
assignment in the position control mode using
parameters No. 43 to 48 will be invalid if it is selected.
For the MR-J2M-P8A, any signal not allocated by
device setting will be invalid if it is selected here.
Used to hold the next operation until the preset time
elapses.
Used to specify the number of cycles or times (from
TIMES to STOP) that the positioning is to be repeated.
Enter the TIMES (**) at the beginning and STOP at
the end of a cycle. Not required for one positioning
cycle.
Used to stop the program being executed.

In this example, the acceleration/deceleration time in Operations 1 and 2 are the same.
In this case, the acceleration/deceleration time in Operation 2 need not be set. In this way, set values
different from those in the preceding operation need only be described in the operation program.
2.4.3 Instruction
When the program operation mode is executed with the program operation mode window and another
window (Amplifier Data Display window) being displayed at the same time, the program may progress
slower, making the dwell command time longer than the set value.
