 Overview of operation using the PC software

Select position data in the main screen, and then click the Home button.

For details, refer to the operation manual for your teaching pendant or the PC software.

 Using a PLC command

Refer to Chapter 2, 1.1.2, “Signal Assignment Table for Respective PIO Patterns” to perform the
necessary signal processing corresponding to the PIO pattern currently selected.

Issue a command after confirming that the position complete signal (PEND) is ON.

If home return cannot be executed, check if the STP and SON signals are ON, if the safety circuit has been
reset, and if any error message is displayed, among others.

Once the home return is completed, the home position will be established and stored as position data.
This position data will be retained by a battery even after the power is cut off, so home return will not be needed
after the power is reconnected.

[12] Set desired data for the target position, speed, acceleration/deceleration, positioning band, etc., in the

position table.
For the method to set these data, refer to the operation manual for the teaching pendant or PC software.

The controller is now ready to perform automatic operation with the PLC.

Caution: When the teaching pendant is disconnected, an emergency stop is actuated momentarily. The

emergency stop will be cancelled immediately thereafter, but the actuator and other equipment that
are operating when the teaching pendant is disconnected will stop.
Therefore, do not disconnect the teaching pendant when an actuator or any other equipment is
operating.
