5. Explanation of Operating Functions

ERC2-SE actuators support two operation modes: [1] “position number specification mode” in which the actuator

is operated by specifying position numbers, and [2] “numerical specification mode” in which the actuator is

operated by directly specifying values relating to the intended operation.

To move the actuator to a specified position in the “position number specification mode,” basically a position

table must be created in advance by entering the target position in the “Position” field.

The target position can be specified as an absolute distance from the home (absolute mode), or as an

incremental travel from the current position (incremental mode).

Once the target position is entered, other fields will be automatically populated with the defaults set by the

applicable parameters.

The defaults set in the respective fields vary depending on the actuator characteristics.

Additionally, ERC2-SE actuators can be operated over a field network or via RS232C serial communication.

Accordingly, also refer to the operation manual for your gateway unit as well as the Operation Manual for Serial

Communication Protocol.
