4. Operation Using I/O Signals
„ Calculation Example
Operate an actuator with a ball screw lead of 6 mm equipped with an encoder of 800 pulses/rev, at a unit travel
distance to 0.1 mm (1/10).
* The encoder resolution is 800 (pulses/rev) for the RCA and RCA2, and as shown in the table on the previous page
for the micro-slider and cylinder series.
Electronic gear numerator (CNUM) Encoder pulses (pulses/rev)
Electronic gear denominator
(CDEN) =
Ball screw lead length (mm/rev)
x Unit travel distance (mm/pulse)
The electronic gear numerator (CNUM) and electronic gear denominator (CDEN) are 40 and 3, respectively. Based
on these settings, the travel distance per one pulse in input command pulse train is calculated as 0.1 mm.
Caution:
z Set both the electronic gear numerator (CNUM) and electronic gear denominator (CDEN) as integers not
exceeding 4,096, by reducing them as much as possible with a common divisor.
Also, CNUM and CDEN must satisfy the relational expression specified below.

z Do not set a minimum travel unit smaller than the encoder resolution.

Encoder resolution for linear-motion axis (mm/pulse) =
Encoder pulses (pulses/rev)
360 (deg/rev) x Gear ratio of rotational axis
Encoder resolution for rotational axis (deg/pulse) =
Encoder pulses (pulses/rev)
The actuator will not move unless enough command pulses accumulate to reach or exceed the encoder resolution.
