[Basic Procedures for Operation]
[1] Establish the driver parameters with using a teaching tool such as PC software.
1) If using SEP I/O Mode in the operation modes [refer to the next page], set the
operation pattern in the initial setting. [Refer to 3.2 for details.]
2) Establish such settings as the zone (Parameter No.21 to 24) and the soft limit
(Parameter No.15) considering the system to be used.
[Refer to chapter 5 I/O Parameter for details.]
[2] Initial Setting [Refer to 3.2 and 3.9.]
Establish the settings such as the slave addresses for the field network using Gateway
Parameter Setting Tool. Set operation modes for all the connected axes.
1) Establish the settings by following the steps stated in Section 3.2.
2) Set the gateway parameters considering the system to be used.
Establish such settings as whether to use the calendar function (clock setting) and
the speed unit change during Direct Indication Mode.
[3] Setting of Position Data [Refer to 3.3.]
(Note) Setting is not necessary for Direct Indication Mode.
Set the information such as the target position and speed to be used in the position data.
[4] Field Network Settings [Refer to 3.4.1 and 3.4.2.]
Assign MSEP as the PLC (Master Unit).
[Refer to the instruction manuals of the master unit and PLC.]
[5] Link to Network
1) Set the operation mode setting switch on the front panel of MSEP to AUTO side, and
reboot the power. (Field network line becomes valid by setting the switch to AUTO)
2) Once the link with the PLC (Master Unit) is established
(Note 1)
, turn ON MON signal in
the gateway control signals
(Note 2)
. While MON Signal is ON, control from field network
is available.
Note 1 Confirm the communication is established in normal condition by referring to
Display of Field Network LEDs shown in the section of Name and Function of
Each Component in earlier pages of this manual.
Note 2 Refer to 3.4.3 Gateway Control Signals.
[6] Operation Control with Each Operation Mode [Refer to 3.4.4 to 3.5.]
1) Send the information of the target position, speed, acceleration/deceleration, etc.
from PLC (Master Unit) to MSEP.
2) The actuator follows the received information of the target position, speed,
acceleration/deceleration, etc. to perform a positioning at the specific coordinates.
3) Confirm the status of positioning complete.
