Chapter 1 Safety Precautions
The X-SEL Controller can be combined with a maximum of four actuators of different types, and is able to
provide integrated control over the entire system including peripherals. In other words, the X-SEL
Controller has the ability to control systems of all sizes ranging from a small system to a large factory
automation system. In general, however, the occurrence rate of accidents due to wrong operation or
carelessness will rise as the system becomes larger and more complex. Please give due consideration to
safety measures.
This system product was developed as a drive unit for an automated machine, etc., and as such the
maximum torque and speed are limited to levels acceptable for an automatically driven machine. However,
strict observance of the following items is requested to prevent unforeseen danger. Also read the

keep the entire power cable beside him or her to prevent another person from inadvertently plugging in
the cable.
