Air cylinder
RCP2
Position
check upon 
power ON 
Determined by an 
external detection 
sensor, such as a reed 
switch. 
Immediately after the power is turned on, the controller cannot 
identify the current position because the mechanical coordinates 
have been lost. 
Accordingly, a rear end command must always be executed 
after the power is turned on, to establish the coordinates. 
The actuator will perform home-return operation first, and then 
move to the rear end. 
[1] The actuator moves at the home return speed toward the
mechanical end on the motor side.
[2] The actuator contacts the mechanical end and turns back,
and then stops temporarily at the home position.
[3] The actuator moves to the rear end at the speed set in the
[Speed] field of the position table.
(Note) Pay attention not to allow any obstacle in the travel path
of the actuator during home return.
The relationship of each movement command input/position detected and corresponding position number is shown 
below. 
The input/output signals are given easy-to-identify names by following the naming convention of air-cylinder switches. 
However, the target position is determined by the value set in the [Position] field for each position number. Therefore, 
changing the magnitude relationships of settings under position Nos. 0, 1 and 2 will change the meanings of 
input/output signals. 
For this reason, it is recommended that you always use the signals under their names defined in this manual, unless 
doing so presents problem, so that the signals have the same meanings at all time.
