Precautions for use
4 Precautions for use
This chapter explains the restrictions and other items you should take heed of when using the
485 communication type.
BLE
Series
FLEX
RS-
•Connect protective devices to the power line
Connect a circuit breaker or earth leakage breaker to the driver’s power line to protect the primary circuit. If an
earth leakage breaker is to be installed, use one incorporating high-frequency noise elimination measures. Refer to
"Preventing leakage current" below for the selection of protective devices.
•Use an electromagnetic brake type for an application involving vertical travel
When the motor is used in an application involving vertical travel, use an electromagnetic brake type to hold the load
in position.
Do not use a solid-state relay (SSR) to turn on/o the power
•
A circuit that turns on/o the power via a solid-state relay (SSR) may damage the motor and driver.
•Do not conduct the insulation resistance measurement or dielectric strength test with the motor
and driver connected.
Conducting the insulation resistance measurement or dielectric strength test with the motor and driver connected may
result in damage to the product.
•Grease measures
On rare occasions, grease may ooze out from the gearhead. If there is concern over possible environmental damage
resulting from the leakage of grease, check for grease stains during regular inspections. Alternatively, install an oil
pan or other device to prevent leakage from causing further damage. Oil leakage may lead to problems in the user's
equipment or products.
Apply grease to the hollow output shaft of a hollow shaft at gearhead
•
When using a hollow shaft at gearhead, apply grease (molybdenum disulde grease, etc.) on the surface of the load
shaft and inner walls of the hollow output shaft to prevent seizure.
•Preventing leakage current
Stray capacitance exists between the driver’s current-carrying line and other current-carrying lines, the earth and the
motor, respectively. A high-frequency current may leak out through such capacitance, having a detrimental eect on
the surrounding equipment. The actual leakage current depends on the driver’s switching frequency, the length of
wiring between the driver and motor, and so on.
When connecting an earth leakage breaker, use one of the following products oering resistance against high
frequency current:
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation: NV series
•Noise elimination measures
Provide noise elimination measures to prevent a motor or driver malfunction caused by external noise.
For more eective elimination of noise, use a shielded I/O signal cable or attach ferrite cores if a non-shielded cable is
used. Refer to "3 Installing and wiring in compliance with EMC Directive" on p.155 for the noise elimination measures.
•Note on connecting a power supply whose positive terminal is grounded
The data edit connector (CN3), I/O signal connectors (CN5/CN6) and RS-485 communication connectors (CN7/CN8)
are not insulated. When grounding the positive terminal of the power supply, do not connect any equipment (PC, etc.)
whose negative terminal is grounded. Doing so may cause the these equipment and driver to short, damaging both.
•The driver uses semiconductor elements, so be extremely careful when handling them
Electrostatic discharge can damage the driver.
Be sure to ground the motor and driver to prevent them from being damaged by electric shock or static electricity.
•Use a connection cable (supplied or accessory) when extending the wiring distance between the
motor and driver
•When using the motor in operation such as vertical drive (gravitational operation) or a large
inertial load drive, use an accessory regeneration unit
The driver may be damaged if the regeneration energy generated during vertical drive (gravitational operation) or
sudden starting/stopping of a large inertial load exceeds the allowable limit that can be absorbed by the driver.
The accessory regeneration unit

Precautions for use
•Saving data to the non-volatile memory
Do not turn o the 24 VDC power supply while writing the data to the non-volatile memory, and also do not turn o
within 5 seconds after the completion of writing the data. Doing so may abort writing the data and cause a EEPROM
error alarm to generate.
The non-volatile memory can be rewritten approximately 100,000 times.

1.6 Installing a load to the combination type • parallel gearhead or
round shaft type
When installing a load on the motor (gearhead), align the center of the motor output shaft (gearhead output shaft) with
the center of the load shaft.
Note
•When coupling the motor (gearhead) with a load, pay attention to centering, belt tension,
parallelism of pulleys, etc. Also, rmly secure the tightening screws of the coupling or pulleys.
•When installing a load, do not damage the motor output shaft (gearhead output shaft) or
bearing. Forcing in the load by driving it with a hammer, etc., may break the bearing. Do not
apply any excessive force to the output shaft.
•Do not modify or machine the motor (gearhead) output shaft. The bearing may be damaged or
motor (gearhead) may break.
Output shaft shape
•Combination type • parallel shaft gearhead
A key slot is provided on the output shaft of each combination type • parallel shaft gearhead. Form a key slot on the
load side and secure the load using the supplied parallel key.
•Round shaft type
A at section is provided on the motor output shaft of each round shaft type. Apply a double-point screw, etc., at the
at section to rmly secure the load and prevent it from spinning.
How to install a load
•Using a coupling
Align the centerline of the motor (gearhead) output shaft with the centerline of the load shaft.
•Using a belt
Adjust the motor (gearhead) output shaft to lie parallel with the load shaft and form right angles between the output
shaft/load shaft and the line connecting the centers of both pulleys.
•Using a gear
Adjust the motor (gearhead) output shaft to lie parallel with the gear shaft and allow the output shaft to mesh correctly
with the centers of the gear teeth.
•When using the output axis tip screw hole of a gearhead
Use a screw hole provided at the tip of the output shaft as an
auxiliary means for preventing the transfer mechanism from
disengaging. (
If the motor is subject to a strong impact upon instantaneous stop or receives a large overhung load, use a stepped
load shaft.
Note
Apply grease (molybdenum disulde grease, etc.) on the surface of the load shaft and inner
•
walls of the hollow output shaft to prevent seizure.
•When installing a load, do not damage the hollow output shaft or bearing of the gearhead.
Forcing in the load by driving it with a hammer, etc. may break the bearing. Do not apply any
excessive force to the hollow output shaft.
•Do not modify or machine the hollow output shaft of the gearhead. Doing so may damage the
bearings and destroy the gearhead.
