Precautions in Operation
1. Make sure to follow the usage condition, environment and specification range
of the product.
Not doing so may cause a drop of performance or malfunction of the product.
2. Use an appropriate teaching tool.
Use the PC Software for RoboCylinder or an appropriate teaching pendant to interface with this
controller.
[Refer to 1.1.2 Teaching Tool]
3. Create a secure data backup for use in case of a breakdown.
A non-volatile memory is used as the backup memory for this controller. All the registered
position data and parameters are written into this memory and backed-up at the same time.
Therefore, you will not usually lose the data even if the power is shut down. However, make
sure to save the latest data so a quick recovery action can be taken in case the controller is
broken and needs to be replaced with another one.
How to Save Data
(1) Save the data to CD-R or hard disk using the PC software
(2) Hard-copy the information of position tables and parameters on paper
4. Set the operation patterns.
This product can be applied an various ways according to application requirements. It can be
controlled via PIO or a fieldbus, with multiple patterns of operation available in either mode.
The setup can be performed in the initial setting. [Refer to Chapter 3 Operation and Chapter 5
Parameter]
The PIO pattern is set to “0” (Standard Type) when the unit is delivered. Set the operation
pattern setting to the logic that suits your use after the power is turned ON.
Warning : Please note it is very risky when the control sequence and PIO pattern setting do
not match each other. The normal operation might not occur. There may be no
movement, or there may be unexpected movement.
