CAUTION
Disconnection of the RC Data Input Pendant from the
PCON/ACON/SCON/ERC2 Controller
* After disconnecting the RC Data Input Pendant from the PCON/ACON/SCON controller with the
AUTO/MANU switch, always turn the AUTO/MANU switch to AUTO.
* For the PCON/ACON/ERC2 controller without AUTO/MANU switch, always set the TP Operation Mode to
“Monitor 2” before disconnecting the RC Data Input Pendant from the controller.
(Refer to “8.10 TP Operation Mode.”)
(Note) When the controller is set by connecting the RC Data Input Pendant to ERC2, the conditions
shown below occur.
When the controller is set by connecting the RC Data Input Pendant to the gateway unit/SIO
converter, the conditions shown below occur.
●If the RC Data Input Pendant is disconnected while the setting of “Teach 1”or “Teach 2”
remains, I/O will become invalid and control from PLC will become impossible.
●If the RC Data Input Pendant is disconnected while the setting of “Monitor 1”remains, the
maximum speed will become the safety speed set for the parameter regardless of a command
from PLC.

1. Foreword
Thank you very much for purchasing the RC Data Input Pendant (RCA-P) for the Robo Cylinder Controller.
Without knowing beforehand how to correctly use or operate the RC Data Input Pendant, not only will the user
be unable to take full advantage of all the functions built into this product but the user might also inadvertently
cause damage to the Controller or shorten its life. Please carefully read this manual as well as other manuals
pertaining to the product to acquire an understanding of the proper method of handling and operating the
controller. Keep this manual handy so that you can refer to the appropriate sections as the need arises.
For the actuator and controller to be used, be sure to refer to the Instruction Manuals attached to the
products.
Caution: Do not edit position data while the actuator is operating by PLC, etc.
Also, do not edit any position number not actually operated.
2. Before You Begin
(1) Please read this manual carefully to operate the controller properly.
(2) You are not allowed to reproduce this manual or any portion thereof without permission.
(3) For any handling and operating methods other than those described in this Instruction Manual, interpret
them as “don’t” or “can’t.”
(4) We cannot accept any responsibility for possible damage resulting from the use of this manual.
(5) We reserve the right to change the information contained in this manual without prior notice.

3. Safety Precautions
(1) Use a genuine product specified by us for wiring between the actuator and controller.
(2) Stand clear of the operating range of the machine when it is in motion or is ready to operate. Surround
the system with safety partitions if there is a possibility that people can enter the area where the machine
is being used.
(3) When assembling, adjusting, or performing maintenance on the machine, always disengage the power
supply to the controller. During work, display a sign stating work in progress where it is readily visible.
Also, keep the power cable close to the operator so that another person cannot inadvertently switch on
the power. Alternatively, lock the power plug or receptacle and direct the operator to hold the key or
prepare a safety plug.
(4) When more than one person is working on the system, agree on signals beforehand to ensure
everyone's safety before beginning work. In particular, when doing work involving axis movement,
always call out for everyone's safety regardless of whether power is ON or OFF, or the axis is to be
mechanically driven or manually moved.
(5) When the user needs to lengthen the cables, check the wiring carefully to make sure it is correct before
turning the power ON since miswiring can lead to misoperation.
