Precautions in Operation
1. Make sure to follow the usage condition, environment and specification range
of the product.
Not doing so may cause a drop of performance or malfunction of the product.
2. Use the following teaching tools.
Use the PC software and the teaching pendant stated in the next clause as applicable for this
controller.
[Refer to 1.1.2 Teaching Tool.]
3. Backup the data to secure for breakdown.
A non-volatile memory is used as the backup memory for this controller. All the registered
position data and parameters are written into this memory and backed-up at the same time.
Therefore, you will not usually lose the data even if the power is shut down. However, make
sure to save the latest data so a quick recovery action can be taken in case when the controller
is broken and needs to be replaced with another one.
How to Save Data
(1) Save the data to CD-R or hard disk with using the PC software
(2) Hard-copy the information of position tables and parameters on paper
4. Set the operation patterns.
To be applied to variety ways of use, this controller corresponds to the control by each fieldbus
and, in addition, it possesses multiple operation (PIO) patterns.
Setting can be established in the parameters. [Refer to Chapter 3 Operation and Chapter 7
Parameter.]
Set the operation pattern setting to the logic that suits to your use after the power is turned ON.
5. The actuators listed below cannot be connected:
1) Actuator with its motor capacity more than 200W
2) Linear Actuator
3) NS-S Type (Nut rotary actuator)
4) RCS2-SRA7BD
5) Slim Small ROBO Cylinder
(RCS2-RN5N/RP5N/GS5N/GD5N/SD5N/TCA5N/TWA5N/TFA5N)
6) When the total of the motor capacity of the connected actuators exceeds 900W for 200V
motor power or 450W for 100V type
6. Clock setting in calendar function
There may be a case that Gateway Error Code 84A “Real Time Clock Vibration Stop Detect” is
issued at the first time to turn the power ON after the product is delivered. In such a case, set
the current time with a teaching tool.
If the battery is fully charged, the clock data is retained for approximately 10 days after the
power is turned OFF.
Even though the time setting is conducted before the product is shipped out, the battery is not
fully charged. Therefore, the clock data may be already lost even in 10 days after the product is
shipped out.
Warning: Please note it is very risky when the control sequence and PIO pattern setting do not
match to each other. It may not only cause the normal operation disabled, but also
may cause an unexpected operation.
