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

amplifier’s 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.

A - 4

CAUTION

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.

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.

A - 5

CAUTION

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.

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.
