A - 2

For Safe Operations 1. Prevention of electric shocks

! DANGER Never open the front case or terminal covers while the power is ON or the unit is running, as this may lead to electric shocks.

Never run the unit with the front case or terminal cover removed. The high voltage terminal and charged sections will be exposed and may lead to electric shocks. Never open the front case or terminal cover at times other than wiring work or periodic inspections even if the power is OFF. The insides of the Motion controller and servo amplifier are charged and may lead to electric shocks. When performing wiring work or inspections, turn the power OFF, wait at least ten minutes, and then check the voltage with a tester, etc.. Failing to do so may lead to electric shocks. Be sure to ground the Motion controller, servo amplifier and servomotor. (Ground resistance : 100 or less) Do not ground commonly with other devices. The wiring work and inspections must be done by a qualified technician. Wire the units after installing the Motion controller, servo amplifier and servomotor. Failing to do so may lead to electric shocks or damage. Never operate the switches with wet hands, as this may lead to electric shocks. Do not damage, apply excessive stress, place heavy things on or sandwich the cables, as this may lead to electric shocks. Do not touch the Motion controller, servo amplifier or servomotor terminal blocks while the power is ON, as this may lead to electric shocks. Do not touch the built-in power supply, built-in grounding or signal wires of the Motion controller and servo amplifier, as this may lead to electric shocks.

2. For fire prevention

! CAUTION Install the Motion controller, servo amplifier, servomotor and regenerative resistor on inflammable material. Direct installation on flammable material or near flammable material may lead to fire.

If a fault occurs in the Motion controller or servo amplifier, shut the power OFF at the servo amplifiers power source. If a large current continues to flow, fire may occur. When using a regenerative resistor, shut the power OFF with an error signal. The regenerative resistor may abnormally overheat due to a fault in the regenerative transistor, etc., and may lead to fire. Always take heat measures such as flame proofing for the inside of the control panel where the servo amplifier or regenerative resistor is installed and for the wires used. Failing to do so may lead to fire.

A - 3

3. For injury prevention

! CAUTION Do not apply a voltage other than that specified in the instruction manual on any terminal. Doing so may lead to destruction or damage. Do not mistake the terminal connections, as this may lead to destruction or damage. Do not mistake the polarity ( + / - ), as this may lead to destruction or damage. Do not touch the servo amplifier's heat radiating fins, regenerative resistor and servomotor, etc., while the power is ON and for a short time after the power is turned OFF. In this timing, these parts become very hot and may lead to burns.

Always turn the power OFF before touching the servomotor shaft or coupled machines, as these parts may lead to injuries.

Do not go near the machine during test operations or during operations such as teaching. Doing so may lead to injuries.

4. Various precautions

Strictly observe the following precautions.

Mistaken handling of the unit may lead to faults, injuries or electric shocks.

(1) System structure

! CAUTION Always install a leakage breaker on the Motion controller and servo amplifier power source. If installation of an electromagnetic contactor for power shut off during an error, etc., is specified in the instruction manual for the servo amplifier, etc., always install the electromagnetic contactor. Install the emergency stop circuit externally so that the operation can be stopped immediately and the power shut off. Use the Motion controller, servo amplifier, servomotor and regenerative resistor with the combi- nations listed in the instruction manual. Other combinations may lead to fire or faults. If safety standards (ex., robot safety rules, etc.,) apply to the system using the Motion controller, servo amplifier and servomotor, make sure that the safety standards are satisfied. Construct a safety circuit externally of the Motion controller or servo amplifier if the abnormal operation of the Motion controller or servo amplifier differ from the safety directive operation in the system. In systems where coasting of the servomotor will be a problem during the forced stop, emergency stop, servo OFF or power supply OFF, use dynamic brakes. Make sure that the system considers the coasting amount even when using dynamic brakes. In systems where perpendicular shaft dropping may be a problem during the forced stop, emergency stop, servo OFF or power supply OFF, use both dynamic brakes and electromagnetic brakes. The dynamic brakes must be used only on errors that cause the forced stop, emergency stop, or servo OFF. These brakes must not be used for normal braking.

A - 4

! CAUTION The brakes (electromagnetic brakes) assembled into the servomotor are for holding applications, and must not be used for normal braking.

The system must have a mechanical allowance so that the machine itself can stop even if the stroke limits switch is passed through at the max. speed. Use wires and cables that have a wire diameter, heat resistance and bending resistance compatible with the system. Use wires and cables within the length of the range described in the instruction manual. The ratings and characteristics of the parts (other than Motion controller, servo amplifier and servomotor) used in a system must be compatible with the Motion controller, servo amplifier and servomotor. Install a cover on the shaft so that the rotary parts of the servomotor are not touched during operation. There may be some cases where holding by the electromagnetic brakes is not possible due to the life or mechanical structure (when the ball screw and servomotor are connected with a timing belt, etc.). Install a stopping device to ensure safety on the machine side.

(2) Parameter settings and programming

! CAUTION Set the parameter values to those that are compatible with the Motion controller, servo amplifier, servomotor and regenerative resistor model and the system application. The protective functions may not function if the settings are incorrect.

The regenerative resistor model and capacity parameters must be set to values that conform to the operation mode, servo amplifier and servo power supply module. The protective functions may not function if the settings are incorrect. Set the mechanical brake output and dynamic brake output validity parameters to values that are compatible with the system application. The protective functions may not function if the settings are incorrect. Set the stroke limit input validity parameter to a value that is compatible with the system application. The protective functions may not function if the setting is incorrect. Set the servomotor encoder type (increment, absolute position type, etc.) parameter to a value that is compatible with the system application. The protective functions may not function if the setting is incorrect. Set the servomotor capacity and type (standard, low-inertia, flat, etc.) parameter to values that are compatible with the system application. The protective functions may not function if the settings are incorrect. Set the servo amplifier capacity and type parameters to values that are compatible with the system application. The protective functions may not function if the settings are incorrect. Use the program commands for the program with the conditions specified in the instruction manual.

A - 5

! CAUTION Set the sequence function program capacity setting, device capacity, latch validity range, I/O assignment setting, and validity of continuous operation during error detection to values that are compatible with the system application. The protective functions may not function if the settings are incorrect.

Some devices used in the program have fixed applications, so use these with the conditions specified in the instruction manual. The input devices and data registers assigned to the link will hold the data previous to when communication is terminated by an error, etc. Thus, an error correspondence interlock program specified in the instruction manual must be used. Use the interlock program specified in the special function module's instruction manual for the program corresponding to the special function module.

(3) Transportation and installation

! CAUTION Transport the product with the correct method according to the mass. Use the servomotor suspension bolts only for the transportation of the servomotor. Do not transport the servomotor with machine installed on it.

Do not stack products past the limit. When transporting the Motion controller or servo amplifier, never hold the connected wires or cables.

When transporting the servomotor, never hold the cables, shaft or detector. When transporting the Motion controller or servo amplifier, never hold the front case as it may fall off.

When transporting, installing or removing the Motion controller or servo amplifier, never hold the edges.

Install the unit according to the instruction manual in a place where the mass can be withstood. Do not get on or place heavy objects on the product. Always observe the installation direction. Keep the designated clearance between the Motion controller or servo amplifier and control panel inner surface or the Motion controller and servo amplifier, Motion controller or servo amplifier and other devices.

Do not install or operate Motion controller, servo amplifiers or servomotors that are damaged or that have missing parts.

Do not block the intake/outtake ports of the servomotor with cooling fan. Do not allow conductive matter such as screw or cutting chips or combustible matter such as oil enter the Motion controller, servo amplifier or servomotor.

The Motion controller, servo amplifier and servomotor are precision machines, so do not drop or apply strong impacts on them.

A - 6

! CAUTION Securely fix the Motion controller and servo amplifier to the machine according to the instruction manual. If the fixing is insufficient, these may come off during operation.

Always install the servomotor with reduction gears in the designated direction. Failing to do so may lead to oil leaks. Store and use the unit in the following environmental conditions.

(4) Wiring

! CAUTION Correctly and securely wire the wires. Reconfirm the connections for mistakes and the terminal screws for tightness after wiring. Failing to do so may lead to run away of the servomotor.

After wiring, install the protective covers such as the terminal covers to the original positions. Do not install a phase advancing capacitor, surge absorber or radio noise filter (option FR-BIF) on the output side of the servo amplifier. Correctly connect the output side (terminals U, V, W). Incorrect connections will lead the servomotor to operate abnormally. Do not connect a commercial power supply to the servomotor, as this may lead to trouble. Do not mistake the direction of the surge absorbing diode installed on the DC relay for the control signal output of brake signals, etc. Incorrect installation may lead to signals not being output when trouble occurs or the protective functions not functioning. Do not connect or disconnect the connection cables between each unit, the encoder cable or PLC expansion cable while the power is ON.

(8) Maintenance, inspection and part replacement

! CAUTION Perform the daily and periodic inspections according to the instruction manual. Perform maintenance and inspection after backing up the program and parameters for the Motion controller and servo amplifier. Do not place fingers or hands in the clearance when opening or closing any opening. Periodically replace consumable parts such as batteries according to the instruction manual. Do not touch the lead sections such as ICs or the connector contacts. Do not place the Motion controller or servo amplifier on metal that may cause a power leakage or wood, plastic or vinyl that may cause static electricity buildup. Do not perform a megger test (insulation resistance measurement) during inspection. When replacing the Motion controller or servo amplifier, always set the new module settings correctly. When the Motion controller or absolute value motor has been replaced, carry out a home position return operation using one of the following methods, otherwise position displacement could occur. 1) After writing the servo data to the Motion controller using programming software, switch on the

power again, then perform a home position return operation. 2) Using the backup function of the programming software, load the data backed up before

replacement. After maintenance and inspections are completed, confirm that the position detection of the absolute position detector function is correct. Do not short circuit, charge, overheat, incinerate or disassemble the batteries. The electrolytic capacitor will generate gas during a fault, so do not place your face near the Motion controller or servo amplifier. The electrolytic capacitor and fan will deteriorate. Periodically replace these to prevent secondary damage from faults. Replacements can be made by our sales representative.
