Notes for Safe Operation

• Never touch any rotating motor parts while the motor is running.

Failure to observe this warning may result in injury.

• Before starting operation with a machine connected, make sure that an emer-

gency stop can be applied at any time.
Failure to observe this warning may result in injury or damage to the product.

• Never touch the inside of the SERVOPACKs.

Failure to observe this warning may result in electric shock.

• Do not remove the cover of power supply terminal while the power is ON.

Failure to observe this warning may result in electric shock.

• Σ-V SERVOPACKs or Σ-7 SERVOPACKs: Do not touch the power supply ter-

minals while the CHARGE lamp is ON because high voltage may still remain in
the SERVOPACK after turning power OFF. Make sure the charge indicator is
OFF first before starting to do wiring or inspections.
Residual voltage may cause electric shock.

• Large-Capacity Σ-V SERVOPACKs: Do not touch the power terminals while

discharging the main circuit's capacitor, because high voltage may still remain
in the SERVOPACK and the converter after turning power OFF. For details on
the charging time of the main circuit’s capacitor, refer to 3.2 Discharging Time

of the Main Circuit’s Capacitor in Large-Capacity
Setup. Before starting to do wiring or inspections, confirm that the charge indi-

cator is OFF and that the power has been completely discharged by using a
tester to measure the voltage between the P and N terminals for DC power.
Residual voltage may cause electric shock.

• Follow the procedures and instructions for the trial operation as noted in the

applicable manual for that product.
Malfunctions that occur after the servomotor is connected to the equipment not
only damage the equipment, but may also cause an accident resulting in death
or injury.

• The output range of multi-turn data for Σ-V, large-capacity Σ-V, or Σ-7 series

absolute detection system differs from that for conventional systems (15-bit
encoder and 12-bit encoder). Especially when “Infinite length positioning sys-

tem” of Σ series is to be configured with Σ-V, large-capacity Σ-V, or Σ-7 series,
be sure to make the system modification.

• The multi-turn limit value must be changed only for special applications.

Changing it inappropriately or unintentionally can be dangerous.

• If the Multi-turn Limit Disagreement alarm occurs, check the setting of parame-

ter Pn205 in the SERVOPACK to be sure that it is correct.
If Fn013 is executed when an incorrect value is set in Pn205, an incorrect
value will be set in the encoder. The alarm will disappear even if an incorrect
value is set, but incorrect positions will be detected, resulting in a dangerous
situation where the machine will move to unexpected positions.

• Do not remove the front cover, cables, connectors, or optional items on the

foreside while the power is ON.
Failure to observe this warning may result in electric shock.

• Do not damage, press, exert excessive force or place heavy objects on the

cables.
Failure to observe this warning may result in electric shock, stopping operation
of the product, or fire.

• Do not modify the product.

Failure to observe this warning may result in injury, damage to the product, or
fire.

• Provide an appropriate stopping device on the machine side to ensure safety.

A holding brake for a servomotor with brake is not a stopping device for ensur­ing safety.
Failure to observe this warning may result in injury.

• Do not come close to the machine immediately after resetting momentary

power loss to avoid an unexpected restart. Take appropriate measures to
ensure safety against an unexpected restart.
Failure to observe this warning may result in injury.

• Connect the ground terminal to electrical codes (ground resistance: 100 Ω or

less for a SERVOPACK with a 200 V/100 V power supply. 10 Ω or less for a
SERVOPACK with a 400 V power supply).
Improper grounding may result in electric shock or fire.

• Installation, disassembly, or repair must be performed only by authorized per-

sonnel.
Failure to observe this warning may result in electric shock or injury.

• The person who designs a system using the safety function (Hard Wire Base-

block function) must have full knowledge of the related safety standards and
full understanding of the instructions in the applicable manual for that product.

Operation

• Conduct trial operation on the servomotor alone with the motor shaft disconnected

from machine to avoid any unexpected accidents.
Failure to observe this caution may result in injury.

• Before starting operation with a machine connected, change the settings to match

the parameters of the machine.
Starting operation without matching the proper settings may cause the machine to
run out of control or malfunction.

• Avoid frequently turning power ON and OFF.

Since the SERVOPACK has a capacitor in the power supply, a high charging current
flows when power is turned ON. Frequently turning power ON and OFF causes
main power devices like capacitors and fuses to deteriorate, resulting in unexpected
problems.

• Forced stop function with forward/reverse overtravel is not effective during JOG

mode operation using utility function Fn002 and zero point search using Fn003.

• When using the servomotor for a vertical axis, install the safety devices to prevent

workpieces to fall off due to occurrence of alarm or overtravel. Set the servomotor
so that it will stop in the zero clamp state at occurrence of overtravel.
Failure to observe this caution may cause workpieces to fall off due to overtravel.

• When not using the tuning-less function, set to the correct moment of inertia ratio

Pn103.
Setting to an incorrect moment of inertia ratio may cause vibration.

• Do not touch the SERVOPACK heatsinks, regenerative resistor, or servomotor while

power is ON or soon after the power is turned OFF.
Failure to observe this caution may result in burns due to high temperatures.

• Do not make any extreme adjustments or setting changes of parameters.

Failure to observe this caution may result in injury or damage to the product due to
unstable operation.

• When an alarm occurs, remove the cause, reset the alarm after confirming safety,

and then resume operation.
Failure to observe this caution may result in damage to the product, fire, or injury.

• Do not use the holding brake of the servomotor for braking.

Failure to observe this caution may result in malfunction.

• Always use the servomotor and SERVOPACK in one of the specified combinations.

Failure to observe this caution so may result in fire or malfunction.

• The servomotor stopping method of turning the main-circuit or control-circuit power

OFF without turning the servo OFF during operation can not be set in Parameter
Pn001.

• When turning the main-circuit power OFF without turning the servo OFF:
The servomotor will be stopped by dynamic braking (DB).

• When turning the control-circuit power OFF without turning the servo OFF:
The stopping method will vary depending on the SERVOPACK model.
