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.

•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.

outputs, use a relay with built-in ywheel diode, or provide a
y-back voltage control measure based on diode, etc., for the
inductive load.
Using a controller with a built-in clamp diode
If a controller with a built-in clamp diode is used, a leakage
path may form and cause the motor to operate even when
the controller power is o, as long as the driver power is on.
Since the power capacity of the controller is dierent from
that of the driver, the motor may operate when the controller
and driver powers are turned on or o simultaneously.
When powering down, turn o the driver power rst,
followed by the controller power. When powering up, turn on
the controller power rst, followed by the driver power.

The signal state represents the "ON: Carrying current" or "OFF: Not carrying current" state of the internal
photocoupler rather than the voltage level of the signal.
SPEED-OUT output
30 pulses are output with each revolution of the motor output shaft synchronously with the motor operation. The
pulse width of output pulse signals is 0.2 ms. The rotation speed of the motor output shaft can be calculated using the
SPEED-OUT output.

ALARM-OUT1 output
The ALARM-OUT1 input is normally closed.
When the driver’s protective function actuates, the ALARM-OUT1 output turns OFF and the ALM LED blinks .
In the case of a standard type, the motor coasts to a stop. In the case of an electromagnetic brake type, on the other
hand, the motor stops instantaneously, upon which the electromagnetic brake actuates and holds the shaft in position.
To reset an alarm, turn both the FWD input and REV input OFF, and remove the cause of the alarm before turning the
ALARM-RESET input ON (keep it ON for 10 ms or more). The ALARM-RESET input is disabled while the FWD
input or REV input is ON.
If the alarm cannot be reset with the ALARM-RESET input, once turn o the power, wait for at least 30 sec, and turn
on the power again.

* When the motor is an electromagnetic brake type, the electromagnetic brake is actuated to hold the shaft in position at the same
time that an alarm generates. The setting, which the electromagnetic brake will actuate and hold the position after the motor coasts
to a stop, can be selected using the
OPX-2A, MEXE02
or RS-485 communication.
The MOVE output turns ON while the motor is operating (while any of the input signal for operation is ON).
The VA output turns ON when the motor speed reaches the setting value.
The ALARM-OUT2 output is normally closed.
When the "overload warning enable" is set to enable, this signal will be turned OFF if the motor load torque exceeds
the overload warning level.
Even if the "overload warning enable" is set to disable, this signal will be turned OFF if the overload alarm generates.
When a warning generates, the WNG output will turn ON. The motor will continue to operate.
Once the cause of the warning is removed, the WNG output will turn OFF automatically.
The TLC output turns ON when the motor output torque reaches the limit value.

S-BSY output
The S-BSY output turns ON while internal processing of the driver is being executed.
In the following condition, the driver will be in an internal processing status.
•Issuing maintenance commands via RS-485 communication
MPS output
The MPS output turns ON when the driver main power is ON.
DIR output
The DIR output is the output signal that shows the rotation direction of motor output shaft.
The rotation direction shows the forward direction if this signal is ON, and the rotation direction shows the reverse
direction if this signal is OFF.

3.5 General signals (R0 to R15)
The R0 to R15 are general signals that enable control via RS-485 communication.
Using the R0 to R15 signals, I/O signals for the external device can be controlled by the master device via the driver.
The direct I/O of the driver can be used as an I/O unit.
See the following example for setting of the general signals.
•When outputting the signals from the master device to the external device
Assign the general signal R0 to the OUT0 output and NET-IN0.
When setting the NET-IN0 to 1, the OUT0 output turns ON. When setting the NET-IN0 to 0, the OUT0 output turns
OFF.
•When inputting the output of the external device to the master device
Assign the general signal R1 to the IN6 input and NET-OUT15.
When turning the IN6 input ON by the external device, the NET-OUT15 becomes 1. When turning the IN6 input
OFF, the NET-OUT15 becomes 0. The logic level of the IN6 input can be set using "IN6 contact conguration"
parameter.

Operation data and parameter
2 Operation data and parameter
The parameters required for motor operation are available in the following two types.
•Operation data
•User parameters
The parameters are saved in the RAM or non-volatile memory. The data saved in the RAM will be erased once the
24 VDC power supply is turned o. On the other hand, the parameters saved in the non-volatile memory will be
retained even after the 24 VDC power supply is turned o.
When turning on the driver 24 VDC power supply, the parameters saved in the non-volatile memory will be sent to
the RAM. Then, the recalculation and setup for the parameters are executed in the RAM.
Parameters having set via RS-485 communication or industrial network are saved in the RAM. To save the parameters
stored in the RAM to the non-volatile memory, execute the "batch NV memory write" of the maintenance command.

(RS-485 communication)
This part explains how to control from the master controller via RS-485 communication. The protocol for the
RS-485 communication is the Modbus protocol.
The Modbus protocol is simple and its specication is open to the public, so this protocol is used widely in industrial
applications. Modbus communication is based on the single-master/multiple-slave method. Only the master can issue
a query (command). Each slave executes the requested process and returns a response message.
If you are new to the
methods along with the operation ow.
This is an example how to operate the motor based on the operation data and parameters set to the driver by the
master controller.
Note
Before operating the motor, check the condition of the surrounding area to ensure safety.

5.1 Communication mode
Modbus protocol communication is based on the single-master/multiple-slave method. Under this protocol, messages
are sent in one of two methods.
•Unicast mode
The master sends a command to only one slave. The slave executes the
process and returns a response.
•Broadcast mode
If slave address 0 is specied on the master, the master can send a
command to all slaves. Each slave executes the process, but does not
return a response.

Intervals between received messages are monitored. If no message
could be received after the time set in the "communication time out"
parameter, the RS-485 communication timeout alarm generates.
The time after the slave switches its communication line to the
transmission mode upon receiving a query from the master, until it
starts sending a response. Sets using the "communication transfer
wait time" parameter.
The actual transmission waiting time corresponds to the silent interval
(C3.5) + processing time + transmission waiting time (Tb2).
The time until the next query is sent in broadcasting. A time equivalent
to or longer than the silent interval (C3.5) plus 5 ms is required.
Be sure to provide a waiting time of 3.5 characters or more. If this
waiting time is less than 3.5 characters long, the driver cannot
respond. See the following table for transmission waiting time.

Data
Set data associated with the selected function code. The specic data length varies depending on the function code.
Error check
In the Modbus RTU mode, error checks are based on the CRC-16 method. The slave calculates a CRC-16 of each
received message and compares the result against the error check value included in the message. If the calculated
CRC-16 value matches the error check value, the slave determines that the message is normal.
•CRC-16 calculation method
1. Calculate an exclusive-OR (XOR) value of the default value of FFFFh and slave address (8 bits).
2. Shift the result of step 1 to the right by 1 bit. Repeat this shift until the overow bit becomes "1."
3. Upon obtaining "1" as the overow bit, calculate an XOR of the result of step 2 and A001h.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until a shift is performed eight times.
5. Calculate an XOR of the result of step 4 and function code (8 bits).
Repeat steps 2 to 4 for all bytes.
The nal result gives the result of CRC-16 calculation.

Slave-returned responses are classied into three types: normal response, no response, and exception response.
The response message structure is the same as the command message structure.
Slave addressFunction codeDataError check
8 bits8 bitsN×8 bits16 bits
Normal response
Upon receiving a query from the master, the slave executes the requested process and returns a response.
No response
The slave may not return a response to a query sent by the master. This condition is referred to as "No response."
The causes of no response are explained below.
•Transmission error
The slave discards the query and does not return a response if any of the following transmission errors is detected.
Cause of transmission errorDescription
Framing errorStop bit 0 was detected.
Parity errorA mismatch with the specied parity was detected.
Mismatched CRCThe calculated value of CRC-16 was found not matching the error check value.
Invalid message lengthThe message length exceeded 256 bytes.
Message
•Other than transmission error
A response may not be returned without any transmission error being detected.
CauseDescription
Broadcast
Mismatched slave address
If the query was broadcast, the slave executes the requested process but does
not return a response.
The slave address in the query was found not matching the slave address of the
driver.
Exception response
An exception response is returned if the slave cannot execute the process requested by the query. Appended to this
response is an exception code indicating why the process cannot be executed. The message structure of exception
response is as follows.

7.4 Writing to multiple holding registers
This function code is used to write data to multiple successive registers. Up to 16 registers can be written.
Write the data to the upper and lower at the same time. If not, an invalid value may be written.
Registers are written in order of register addresses. Note that even when an exception response is returned because
some data is invalid as being outside the specied range, etc., other data may have been written properly.
Example of write
Set the following data as acceleration time Nos.0 to 2 as part of operation data at slave address 4.

8 Register address list
All data used by the driver is 32-bit wide. The register for the Modbus protocol is 16-bit wide, and one data is
described by two registers. Since the address assignment is big endian, the even number addresses become the upper
and the odd number addresses become the lower.
8.1 Operation commands
These are commands related to motor operation. Operation commands are not saved in the non-volatile memory.
Multiple slaves are made into a group and a query is sent to all slaves in the group at once. See p.104 for group details.
The initial value is −1. When performing read or write for setting a group, set the upper and lower simultaneously.
