Depending on the controller model, a confirmation window (Fig. 7.8) may be displayed after parameters have
been sent to the controller, asking if you want to restart the controller (execute a software reset).
(This window appears only when the controller to which data has been written supports the software reset
function. (Except RCP, RCS and E-Con controllers.))

If you want to change the soft limits, set values corresponding to 0.3 mm outside of the desired effective
range.
Example 1) CON controllers and older models
To set the effective range to 0 to 80 mm
+ soft limit: 80.3
- soft limit: -0.3
Example 2) SEP controllers
To set the effective range to 0 to 80 mm
soft limit: 80.0

In the case of the RCP, RCS, E-Con, RCP2 and ERC controller, if the home return direction is changed, all
position data currently input will be cleared. Before changing the home return direction, therefore, back up
the data, if necessary.
‚
In the case of rod-type actuators (excluding the RCP2-RA3C, 4C and 6C), the home return direction cannot
be reversed only by changing the factory-set parameter.
Note: After parameters have been changed, reconnect the controller power or execute a software reset (if the
controller supports the software reset function).
Parameters will be rewritten simply by turning the emergency stop switch or PORT switch to OFF and
then ON again, but the new value may not become effective depending on the parameter.
