Part 1 Installation
This controller can be configured with one axis and two axes. Just like other conventional SEL controllers,
this controller can be combined with various actuators. When connecting an actuator, be sure to use a
dedicated cable.
x
Turn on the I/O power before or simultaneously with the main power (control power + motor power).
x
Take the control power and motor power from the same power supply and turn on both powers
simultaneously.
x
Before performing a check or inserting/removing a connector, turn off the power and wait for at least 10
minutes.

About actuator duty
IAI recommends that our actuators be used at a duty of 50% or less as a guideline in view of the
relationship of service life and accuracy:
Duty (%) =
Inactivity
time
Motion
Time

x
After turning off the control power, be sure to wait for at least 5 seconds before turning it back on.
x
Do not insert or remove connectors while the controller power is on. Doing so may cause malfunction.
The following steps must be taken to initialize the absolute-data backup battery circuit to prevent the
battery from being consumed quickly. Perform the initialization by following these steps:
[1] Before connecting the encoder cable, disconnect the absolute-data backup battery connector.
[2] Connect the encoder cable.
[3] Turn on the main power.
[4] Connect the absolute-data backup battery.
The above steps must always be performed after the encoder cable has been disconnected for any
reason, such as to move the controller.
Read the operation manual for each actuator. If you have purchased our optional PC software and/or
teaching pendant, read the respective operation manuals, as well.
