[7] Zone (ZONE1, ZONE2)
Output
PIO signal
ZONE1 ZONE2
Each of the signals turns ON when the current actuator position is inside the range specified by
the relevant parameter.
Two zones, ZONE1 and ZONE2, can be set.
When the current position of the actuator is in ZONE1, it is turned ON if it is in the range of
Parameter No.1 “Zone 1 Positive Side” and Parameter No.2 “Zone 1 Negative Side”, while is
OFF when out of the range. These signals are always enabled in the home return complete
state and not affected by the servo status or alarm status. (The ZONE2 signal turns ON/OFF
according to Parameter No.23 “Zone 2+” and Parameter No.24 “Zone 2-”.
z Setting values and signal output range
The zone output range varies depending on the difference between the value set for the plus
side of the zone and that for the minus side.
1) Value set for plus side > value set for minus side: The output signal is set to ON in the
range and OFF out of the range.
2) Value set for plus side < value set for minus side: The output signal is set to OFF in the
range and ON out of the range.
[For Straight Slide Actuators]
[Operation of rotary actuator of multi-rotation specification in index mode]
Caution: (1) These signals become effective after the coordinate system is established
following home return. Turning on the power is not enough to output these
signals.
(2) These signals are not available if the home return function of the
controller is not used.
(3) The zone detection range would not turn ON unless the value exceeds
that of the minimum resolution (actuator lead length/800).
