Important User Information
Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of
electromechanical equipment. Because of this difference, and also because of
the wide variety of uses for solid state equipment, all persons responsible for
applying this equipment must satisfy themselves that each intended application
of this equipment is acceptable.
In no event will L&T Controls be responsible or liable for indirect or
consequential damages resulting from the use or application of this equipment.
The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative
purposes. Because of the many variables and requirements associated with any
particular installation, L&T Controls cannot assume responsibility or liability for
actual use based on the examples and diagrams.
No patent liability is assumed by L&T Controls with respect to use of
information, circuits, equipment, or software described in this manual.
Reproduction of the contents of this manual, in whole or in part, without written
permission of L&T Controls is prohibited.
Throughout this manual we use the following symbols to make you aware of
safety considerations.

Identifies information about practices or circumstances which

WARNING
may lead to serious personal injury or death, property damage, or
economic loss.

Safety Instructions
Please read this manual and the related documentation thoroughly and familiarize
yourself with product information, safety instructions and other directions before
installing, operating, performing inspection and preventive maintenance.
Please be aware that the instructions are marked with either a warning symbol or
attention symbol.

• If this product is used in a situation that may cause personal

WARNING injury and/or significant product damage, implement safe
measures such as use of
fault-safe equipment.
• Be sure to cutoff outer power source while wiring, maintenance,
and cleaning. Do not touch terminals when electric current is
flowing. Otherwise it may cause an electric shock.
• Do not use this product under any conditions exposed to
explosive gases.
It may cause an explosion.

• Use the product under the allowed conditions directed in

ATTENTION
product specifications and be cautious to keep away extraneous
materials from entering the product during installation.
– Do not expose to high temperature, high humidity, dense dust,
salinity, mineral particles, corrosive gas, inflammable gas,
solvent, abrasive materials, and direct sunlight.
– Keep away from vibrations, and contacts of other objects. It is
the cause of damage, malfunction, or aging.
• Install the communications cable in a separate pathway from the
power cable and separate the pathways with at least 200 mm of
space. Noise can cause malfunctions.
• Make sure to use an external device when configuring the
protective circuit breakers for emergencies or interlock circuits.
• Operate the product under the allowed conditions directed in
product specifications. Incorrect conditions can cause abnormal
heat dissipation or product malfunction.
• Do not dissemble or modify the product, or it may cause
malfunctions. Use the service centers for product repairs.
• Do not touch the terminals when the power is on. It may cause
an electric shock.
• Only use the product for functions explicitly specified in the
product and the manual.
• Abide by the industrial waste disposal standard when disposing
the product.

Characteristics of Position Control Module
Position Control Module (Open Collector or Line Drive
Output Enabled)
Position Control Module (1, 2, 3 and 4 axes) with maximum speed of 1 Mpps enables
high speed, high accuracy position decision. Initialization time is less than 1ms.
S-shape acceleration/deceleration function enables flexible initialization/stop
operations. Pulse generator input function enables real time output via use of manual
pulse generator (MPG function).

Characteristics
• Pulse Output Method is available (Open Collector or Line Drive).
It is correspondable with the connections with pulse input drives (AC/DC servo
drive, stepping drive). This position control module is accessible with any drives
since it can selectively use either an open collector output or a line drive output.
• Maximum pulse speed of 1 Mpps enables high speed, high accuracy position
decision.
• 4 axes are equipped in 1 unit to enable multi-axes control.
• High speed initialization enables reduction of Tact -Time (Initialization time 0.1ms).
Tact-Time can be reduced by selecting high speed initialization mode.
• Parameter setting is simplified, and automatic acceleration/deceleration is enabled.
• Smooth initialization/stop operation is realized through S-shape acceleration/
deceleration

Operation Mode Setting Switch
These are switches designating the rotation direction of each Axis and pulse output
method. Factory default settings are configured with the conventional settings
(direction set to have incremental expiration value) for rotation direction and with
Pulse/Sign mode for pulse output method. (All are set to ON when shipped from the
factory.)
Please set rotation direction “OFF” when rotating to the opposite direction from the
program-designated direction.
Set pulse output method to match the motor drive method.
