[2] Overview of major Functions
Function Description
Number of positioning points Number of positioning points which can be set in the position table.
Operation with the Position No.
Input
Normal operation started by turning the start signal ON after position No.
is entered with binary data.
Position No. direct command
operation
Operation enabled by turning the signal directly corresponding to a
position No. ON
Positioning Positioning enabled at an arbitrary position by the data set in the position
table
Velocity change during the
movement
Velocity change enabled by activating another position No. during
movement
Pressing (tension) Operation by an arbitrary pressing (tensile) force set in the position table
enabled
Pressing in use of force sensor Highly precise pressing enabled by measuring the current pressing force
by using a force sensor (loadcell) to control it
Pitch Feeding
(relative moving feed)
Pitch feed by an arbitrary moving distance set in the position table
enabled
Home return signal input Input signal exclusively used for home return. Set to ON to start home
return
Pause The operation can be interrupted or continued by setting this signal to ON
or OFF, respectively.
Jog moving signal The actuator can only be moved while the input is set to ON.
Teaching signal input (Current
Position Writing)
Setting the input signal to ON allows the coordinate value in the stop state
to be written to the position table.
Brake release signal input The brake (option) can only be released while the input is set to ON.
Moving Signal Output The output signal is set to ON while the actuator is moved.
Zone signal output The output signal is set to ON while the actuator is entered within the
zone defined by the coordinate values set as parameters.
Position zone signal output The output signal is set to ON while the actuator is entered within the
zone defined by the coordinate values set in the position table.
Position detection feedback
pulse output
Feedback pulses sent out from the encoder can be subject to differential
output.
[Refer to Section 3.3 Operation in Pulse Train Control Mode for details.]
Vibration Control Vibrations of the load installed on the actuator can be suppressed.
However, this is invalid in the home return and pressing operations.
[3] Operation modes of rotary actuator in multiple rotation mode and command
limitations
An actuator of multi-rotation specification includes two operation modes, or the normal mode
enabling only a limited number of rotations and the index mode Note 1 enabling a number of
rotations. A specific operation mode can be selected by parameter No.79 “Rotational axis
mode selection”. Parameter No.80 “Rotational axis shortcut selection” allows the shortcut to
be made valid or invalid.
The table below lists the settings of parameters and the operation specification in each mode.
