SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Please read these instructions before using this equipment.) Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals introduced in this manual carefully and pay full attention to safety to handle the product correctly. The precautions given in this manual are concerned with this product only. Refer to the user's manual of the CPU module to use for a description of the PLC system safety precautions.
Page 4 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.
Page 5 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.
Page 6 CAUTION 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.
Page 7 DANGER 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 intelligent function module's instruction manual for the program corresponding to the intelligent function module.
Page 8 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 module or servo amplifier, never hold the connected wires or cables.
Page 9 CAUTION When not using the module for a long time, disconnect the power line from the module or servo amplifier. Place the module and servo amplifier in static electricity preventing vinyl bags and store. When storing for a long time, please contact with our sales representative. Also, execute a trial operation.
Page 10 (4) Wiring DANGER Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before wiring. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction. CAUTION Correctly and securely wire the wires. Reconfirm the connections for mistakes and the terminal screws for tightness after wiring.
Page 11 CAUTION Place the cables in a duct or clamp them. If not, dangling cable may swing or inadvertently be pulled, resulting in damage to the module or cables or malfunction due to poor contact. Do not clamp the extension cables with the jacket stripped. Doing so may change the characteristics of the cables, resulting in malfunction.
Page 12 CAUTION Note that when the reference axis speed is designated for interpolation operation, the speed of the partner axis (2nd axis, 3rd axis and 4th axis) may be larger than the set speed (larger than the speed limit value). Use the units with the following conditions. Item Conditions Input power...
Page 13 (8) Maintenance, inspection and part replacement DANGER Do not touch any terminal while power is on. Doing so will cause electric shock or malfunction. Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before cleaning the module or retightening the module fixing screw.
Page 14 CAUTION When the module or absolute position motor has been replaced, carry out a home position return operation using the following method, otherwise position displacement could occur. After writing the servo data to the Simple Motion module using programming software, switch on •...

Page 340 Chapter 6 Sequence Program Used for Positioning Control [1] Starting by inputting positioning start signal Operation when starting (1) When the positioning start signal turns ON, the start complete signal and BUSY signal turn ON, and the positioning operation starts. It can be seen that the axis is operating when the BUSY signal is ON.
Page 341 Chapter 6 Sequence Program Used for Positioning Control POINT The BUSY signal turns ON even when position control of movement amount 0 is executed.

This is an effective procedure when operation is to be started as quickly as possible with the start command or when the starting variation time is to be suppressed.

Page 350: Continuous Operation Interrupt Program
Chapter 6 Sequence Program Used for Positioning Control 6.5.4 Continuous operation interrupt program During positioning control, the control can be interrupted during continuous positioning control and continuous path control (continuous operation interrupt function). When "continuous operation interruption" is execution, the control will stop when the operation of the positioning data being executed ends.
Page 351 Chapter 6 Sequence Program Used for Positioning Control (2) Even if the stop command is turned ON after executing the "continuous operation interrupt request", the "continuous operation interrupt request" cannot be canceled. Thus, if "restart" is executed after stopping by turning the stop command ON, the operation will stop when the positioning data No.

Chapter 6 Sequence Program Used for Positioning Control 6.5.6 Stop program The axis stop signal or stop signal from external input signal is used to stop the control. Create a program to turn ON the axis stop signal ([Cd.180]) as the stop program. Each control is stopped in the following cases.
Page 356 Chapter 6 Sequence Program Used for Positioning Control [2] Types of stop processes The operation can be stopped with deceleration stop, rapid stop or immediate stop. (1) Deceleration stop The operation stops with "deceleration time 0 to 3" ([Pr.10], [Pr.28], [Pr.29], [Pr.30]).
Page 357 Chapter 6 Sequence Program Used for Positioning Control [3] Order of priority for stop process The order of priority for the Simple Motion module stop process is as follows. Deceleration stop < Rapid stop < Immediate stop (1) If the deceleration stop command ON (stop signal ON) or deceleration stop cause occurs during deceleration to speed 0 (including automatic deceleration), operation changes depending on the setting of "[Cd.42] Stop command processing for deceleration stop selection".
Page 358 Chapter 6 Sequence Program Used for Positioning Control [4] Inputting the stop signal during deceleration (1) Even if stop is input during deceleration (including automatic deceleration), the operation will stop at that deceleration speed. (2) If stop is input during deceleration for HPR, the operation will stop at that deceleration speed.

Chapter 9 Major Positioning Control 9.1.2 Operation patterns of major positioning controls In "major positioning control" (high-level positioning control), "[Da.1] Operation pattern" can be set to designate whether to continue executing positioning data after the started positioning data. The "operation pattern" includes the following 3 types. Positioning complete (1) Independent positioning control (operation pattern: 00)
Page 406 Chapter 9 Major Positioning Control POINT (1) When the operation pattern is continuous positioning control or continuous path control, the same address as the last value is specified in absolute system or the movement amount 0 is specified in incremental system, positioning control of movement amount 0 is executed.
Page 407 Chapter 9 Major Positioning Control [2] Continuous positioning control (1) The machine always automatically decelerates each time the positioning is completed. Acceleration is then carried out after the Simple Motion module command speed reaches 0 to carry out the next positioning data operation. If a dwell time is designated, the acceleration is carried out after the designated time elapses.
Page 408 Chapter 9 Major Positioning Control [3] Continuous path control (1) Continuous path control (a) The speed is changed without deceleration stop between the command speed of the "positioning data No. currently being executed" and the speed of the "positioning data No. to carry out the next operation".

Thus, automatic deceleration to a stop will not be carried out even if the movement direction is changed (See the figures below).

The Simple Motion module carries out the positioning at the speed designated with each positioning data. (b) The command speed can be set to "–1" in continuous path control. The control will be carried out at the speed used in the previous positioning data No.
