1 Safety precautions
The precautions described below are intended to prevent danger or injury to the user and other personnel through safe, correct use
of the product. Use the product only after carefully reading and fully understanding these instructions.
Handling the product without observing the instructions that accompany a "Warning" symbol may
result in serious injury or death.
Handling the product without observing the instructions that accompany a "Caution" symbol may result
in injury or property damage.
The items under this heading contain important handling instructions that the user should observe to
ensure safe use of the product.
General
•• Do not use the product in explosive or corrosive environments, in the presence of flammable gases, locations subjected to
splashing water, or near combustibles. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock or injury.
•• Assign qualified personnel the task of installing, wiring, operating/controlling, inspecting and troubleshooting the product.
Failure to do so may result in fire, electric shock, injury or damage to equipment.
•• Do not transport, install the product, perform connections or inspections when the power is on. Always turn the power off before
carrying out these operations. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
•• The terminals on the driver's front panel marked with symbol indicate the presence of high voltage. Do not touch these
terminals while the power is on to avoid the risk of fire or electric shock.
•• Take measures to keep the moving parts in position for vertical operations such as elevator applications. The motor loses holding
torque when the power is shut off, allowing the moving parts to fall and possibly cause injury or damage to equipment.
•• The brake mechanism of an electromagnetic brake motor is used to keep the moving part and motor in position. Do not use it as
a deceleration/safety brake. Doing so may result in injury or damage to the equipment.
•• When the driver generates an alarm (any of the driver's protective functions is triggered), the motor will stop and lose its holding
torque. Accordingly, provide measures to hold the moving part in place in the event of an alarm. Failure to do so may result in
injury or equipment damage.
•• When the driver generates an alarm (any of the driver's protective functions is triggered), first remove the cause and then clear
the protection function. Continuing the operation without removing the cause of the problem may cause malfunction of the
motor and driver, leading to injury or damage to equipment.
Installation
•• The motor and driver are Class I equipment. When installing the motor and driver, do not touch the driver without grounding the
driver first. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
•• Install the motor and driver in the enclosure in order to prevent electric shock or injury.
Connection
•• Keep the driver's input power voltage within the specified range. Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
•• Connect the cables securely according to the wiring diagram. Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
•• Do not forcibly bend, pull or pinch the cable. Doing so may fire and electric shock.
Operation
•• Turn off the driver power in the event of a power failure. Or the motor may suddenly start when the power is restored and may
cause injury or damage to equipment.
•• Do not turn the FREE input to ON while the motor is operating. The motor will stop and lose its holding power. Doing so may
result in injury or damage to equipment.
Maintenance and inspection

•• Do not touch the connection terminals on the driver while the power is supplied or for at least 10 minutes after turning off the
power. Before making wiring connections or carrying out checks, also wait for the CHARGE LED to turn off and check the voltage
with a tester, etc. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
Repair, disassembly and modification

•• Do not disassemble or modify the motor and driver. This may cause electric shock or injury. Refer all such internal inspections and
repairs to the branch or sales office from which you purchased the product.
3▐
Safety precautions
General
•• Do not use the motor and driver beyond its specifications. Doing so may result in electric shock, injury or damage to equipment.
•• Keep your fingers and objects out of the openings in the motor and driver. Failure to do so may result in fire, electric shock or
injury.
•• Do not touch the motor and driver during operation or immediately after stopping. The surface is hot and may cause a skin
burn(s).
Transportation
•• Do not carry the motor by holding the motor output shaft or motor cable. Doing so may cause injury.
Installation
•• Provide a cover over the rotating parts (output shaft) of the motor. Failure to do so may result in injury.
•• Do not leave anything around the motor and driver that would obstruct ventilation. Doing so may result in damage to
equipment.
Connection
•• The data edit connector (CN4) and I/O signal connector (CN5) are not insulated. When grounding the positive terminal of the
power supply, do not connect any equipment (PC, etc.) whose negative terminal is grounded. Doing so may cause the driver and
these equipment to short, damaging both.
Operation
•• Use a motor and driver only in the specified combination. An incorrect combination may cause a fire.
•• Provide an emergency stop device or emergency stop circuit external to the equipment so that the entire equipment will operate
safely in the event of a system failure or malfunction. Failure to do so may result in injury.
•• Before supplying power to the driver, turn all input signals to the driver OFF. Otherwise, the motor may start suddenly at power
ON and cause injury or damage to equipment.
•• Do not touch the rotating part (output shaft) during operation. Doing so may cause injury.
•• The motor surface temperature may exceed 70 °C (158 °F) even under normal operating conditions. If the
operator is allowed to approach the running motor, attach a warning label as shown below in a conspicuous
position. Failure to do so may result in skin burn(s).
•• Before moving the motor directly with the hands, confirm that the FREE input turns ON. Failure to do so may Warning label
result in injury.
•• Use a 24 VDC power supply that has been given reinforced insulation between the primary side and secondary side. Failure to do
so may cause electric shock.
•• Immediately when trouble has occurred, stop running and turn off the driver power. Failure to do so may result in fire, electric
shock or injury.
•• To prevent electric shock, use only an insulated screwdriver to adjust the driver's switches.
Maintenance and inspection

•• When the insulation resistance measurement or dielectric strength test is conducted, do not touch the terminals. Doing so may
result in electric shock.
Disposal
•• To dispose of the motor and driver, disassemble it into parts and components as much as possible and dispose of individual
parts/components as industrial waste.

Overview of the product
2 Overview of the product

This product is a stepping motor and driver package consisting of a stepping motor with a built-in rotor position detection sensor
and a high-performance microstep driver.
When the AR Series is used with an accessory data setter OPX-2A (sold separately) or data setting software MEXE02, push-motion
operation can be performed in addition to accurate positioning operation.
Main features
zz Introducing closed loop control

The AR Series can continue its operation even upon encountering quick acceleration or an abrupt change in load.
Monitoring the speed and amount of rotation while the motor is running, the AR Series performs closed-loop control under
overload and similar conditions to continue its operation at the peak torque.
zz Energy-saving
Motor and driver losses have been substantially reduced to achieve low heat generation and save energy.
Since the motor and driver generate much less heat, they can now be operated for longer hours at high speed, which was not
possible with conventional stepping motors/drivers.
zz Easy adjustment using a speed filter

Even after the motor has been installed in the equipment, the motor response can be adjusted to suppress vibration using a digital
switch with ease.
zz Separate main power supply and control power supply

A separate 24 VDC power supply is connected to supply control power, independently of the main power supply.
This way, the motor position can be detected and contents of alarms can be checked while the 24 VDC power is supplied, even when
the main power is cut off.
zz Supporting sink output and source output

The driver supports both the current sink output circuit and the current source output circuit. (Line driver output is not supported).
zz Automatically controlled electromagnetic brake

Since the driver automatically controls the electromagnetic brake, all you need is to connect a 24 VDC power supply and the
electromagnetic brake will operate. This saves time to adjust the timings of control signal inputs and design a ladder program.
zz Alarm and warning functions

The driver provides alarms that are designed to protect the driver from overheating, poor connection, error in operation, etc.
(protective functions), as well as warnings that are output before the corresponding alarms generate (warning functions).
Various operation modes

Positioning operation and return to electrical home operation can be performed.
Push-motion operation can be performed when using an accessory OPX-2A (sold separately) or MEXE02.
Extended functions
When used with the OPX-2A or MEXE02, the desired parameters, operation mode, resolution and other items can be set according
to your equipment. For details, refer to p.49

Precautions for use
6 Precautions for use

This section covers limitations and requirements the user should consider when using the product.
zz Always use the cable (supplied or accessory) to connect the motor and driver.
Be sure to use the cable (supplied or accessory) to connect the motor and driver.
In the following condition, an appropriate accessory cable must be purchased separately.
Refer to p.67 for details.
•• If a flexible cable is to be used.
•• If a cable of 3 m (9.8 ft.) or longer is to be used.
•• If a motor and driver package without a cable was purchased.
zz Conduct the insulation resistance measurement or dielectric strength test separately on the motor
and the driver.
Conducting the insulation resistance measurement or dielectric strength test with the motor and driver connected may result in
damage to equipment.
zz Do not apply a radial load and axial load in excess of the specified permissible limit.
Operating the motor under an excessive radial load or axial load may damage the motor bearings (ball bearings).
Be sure to operate the motor within the specified permissible limit of radial load and axial load.
See p.20 for details.
zz Use the motor in conditions where its surface temperature will not exceed 100 °C (212 °F).
The driver has an overheat protection function, but the motor has no such feature. The motor surface temperature may exceed
100 °C (212 °F) under certain conditions (ambient temperature, operating speed, duty cycle, etc.).
To prevent the motor bearings (ball bearings) from reaching its usable life quickly, use the motor in conditions where the surface
temperature will not exceed 100 °C (212 °F).
Use the geared type motor in a condition where the gear case temperature does not exceed 70 °C (158 °F), in order to prevent
deterioration of grease and parts in the gear case.
If the motor is to be operated continuously, install the motor in a location where heat dissipation capacity equivalent to a level
achieved with a heat sink [made of aluminum, 250×250×6 mm (9.84×9.84×0.24 in.)] is ensured.
zz Holding torque at standstill

The motor holding torque is reduced by the current cutback function of the driver at motor standstill.
When selecting a motor, check the holding torque at motor standstill in the specifications on the catalog.
zz Do not use the electromagnetic brake to reduce speed or as a safety brake.

Do not use the electromagnetic brake as a means to decelerate and stop the motor. The brake hub of the electromagnetic brake will
wear significantly and the braking force will drop. Since the power off activated type electromagnetic brake is equipped, it helps
maintain the position of the load when the power is cut off, but this brake cannot securely hold the load in place. Accordingly, do not
use the electromagnetic brake as a safety brake.
To use the electromagnetic brake to hold the load in place, do so after the motor has stopped.
zz Double shaft type motor

Do not apply a load torque, radial load or axial load to the output shaft on the opposite side of the motor output shaft.
zz Preventing leakage current

Stray capacitance exists between the driver's current-carrying line and other current-carrying lines, the earth and the motor,
respectively. A high-frequency current may leak out through such capacitance, having a detrimental effect on the surrounding
equipment. The actual leakage current depends on the driver's switching frequency, the length of wiring between the driver and
motor, and so on. When providing a leakage current breaker, use the following products, for example, which have high-frequency
signal protection:
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation: NV series
Fuji Electric FA Components & Systems Co., Ltd.: EG and SG series
zz Preventing electrical noise

See "9-7 Noise measures" on p.33 for measures with regard to noise.
zz Peak torque of geared type motor

Always operate the geared type motor under a load not exceeding the peak torque. If the load exceeds the peak torque, the gear will
be damaged.
zz About grease of geared motor

On rare occasions, a small amount of grease may ooze out from the geared motor. If there is concern over possible environmental
damage resulting from the leakage of grease, check for grease stains during regular inspections.
Alternatively, install an oil pan or other device to prevent leakage from causing further damage.
Oil leakage may lead to problems in the customer's equipment or products.
11▐
Precautions for use
zz Rotating direction of the gear output shaft

The relationship between the rotating direction of the motor shaft and that of the gear output shaft changes as follows, depending
on the gear type and gear ratio.
Rotating direction
Type of gear Gear ratio
(relative to the motor rotating direction)
3.6, 7.2, 10 Same direction
TH geared
20, 30 Opposite direction
PL geared
PS geared All gear ratios Same direction
PN geared
Harmonic geared All gear ratios Opposite direction
zz Do not perform push-motion operation with geared motors.

Doing so may result in damage to the motor or gear part.
zz Saving data to the non-volatile memory

Do not turn off the main power supply or 24 VDC power supply while data is being written to the non-volatile memory and 5
seconds after the completion of data write. Doing so may abort the data write and cause an EEPROM error alarm to generate.
The non-volatile memory can be rewritten approximately 100,000 times.
zz Motor excitation at power ON

Simply turning on the power will not excite the motor. To excite the motor, always turn the C-ON input ON.
If the applicable driver parameter is changed using the OPX-2A or MEXE02, the motor can be excited automatically after the
power ON.
zz Connect an accessory regeneration unit RGB100 (sold separately) if vertical drive (gravitational
operation) such as elevator applications is performed or if sudden start-stop operation of a large
inertial load is repeated frequently.
An alarm of overvoltage protection may be detected depending on the driving condition of the motor.
If the alarm of overvoltage protection is detected, adjust the driving condition or connect the accessory regeneration unit RGB100
(sold separately).
zz Note on connecting a power supply whose positive terminal is grounded

The communication connector (CN4) and I/O signal connector (CN5) are not insulated. When grounding the positive terminal of the
power supply, do not connect any equipment (PC, etc.) whose negative terminal is grounded. Doing so may cause the driver and
these equipment to short, damaging both. Use the data setter OPX-2A to set data, etc.

Installation
8-3 Installing a load

When connecting a load to the motor, align the centers of the motor output shaft and load shaft. Flexible couplings are available as
accessories.
•• When coupling the load to the motor, pay attention to the centering of the shafts, belt tension, parallelism of
the pulleys, and so on. Securely tighten the coupling and pulley set screws.
•• Be careful not to damage the output shaft or bearings when installing a coupling or pulley to the motor output
shaft.
•• Do not modify or machine the motor output shaft. Doing so may damage the bearings and destroy the motor.
•• Do not apply strong force using hammer or other tools when removing the parallel key. Doing so may damage
the motor output shaft and bearings (ball bearings).
zz Using a coupling
Align the centers of the motor output shaft and load shaft in a straight line.
zz Using a belt drive

Align the motor output shaft and load shaft in parallel with each other, and position both pulleys so that the line connecting their
centers is at a right angle to the shafts.
zz Using a gear drive

Align the motor output shaft and gear shaft in parallel with each other, and let the gears mesh at the center of the tooth widths.
· Using a coupling · Using a belt drive · Using a gear drive
zz Using a parallel key (geared motor)

When connecting the load and gear output shaft with a key slot, secure the load using the key supplied with the gear output shaft
after machining the key slot on the load.
zz Installing on the flange surface (Harmonic geared type)

With a Harmonic geared type (excluding AR98), a load can be installed directly to the gear using the load mounting holes provided
on the flange surface.

8-4 Permissible radial load and permissible axial load
•• If the radial load or axial load exceeds the specified allowable value, repeated load applications may cause the
bearing (ball bearings) or output shaft of the motor to undergo a fatigue failure.
•• With a double shaft type, do not apply load torque, radial load or axial load to the output shaft on the opposite
side of the motor output shaft.
The permissible radial load and permissible axial load of the PS geared type and PN geared type represent the
value that the service life of the gear part satisfies 20,000 hours when either of the radial load or axial load is
applied to the gear output shaft.

•• When plugging/unplugging the connector, turn off the power and wait for the CHARGE LED to turn off before
doing so. The residual voltage may cause electric shock.
•• The lead wires of the "cable for electromagnetic brake" have polarities, so connect them in the correct
polarities. If the lead wires are connected with their polarities reversed, the electromagnetic brake will not
operate properly.
•• If the distance between the motor and driver is extended to 20 m (65.6 ft.) or longer, use a power supply of 24
VDC±4%.
•• When unplugging the connector, do so while pressing the latches on the connector.
•• When installing the motor to a moving part, use an accessory flexible cable offering excellent flexibility. Refer
to p.67 for details.

When grounding the positive terminal of the power supply, do not connect any equipment (PC, etc.)
whose negative terminal is grounded. Doing so may cause the driver and these equipment to short,
damaging both.
9-7 Noise measures

The electrical noise is of two types: One is a noise to invade into the driver from the outside and cause the driver malfunction, and
the other is a noise to emit from the driver and cause peripheral equipments malfunction.
For the noise that is invaded from the outside, take measures to prevent the driver malfunction. It is needed to take adequate
measures because signal lines are very likely to be affected by the noise.
For the noise that is emitted from the driver, take measures to suppress it.
Measures against electrical noise

There are the following three methods mainly to take measures against the electrical noise.
zz Noise suppression
•• When relays or electromagnetic switches are used together with the system, use noise filters and CR circuits to suppress surges
generated by them.
•• Use an accessory cable (sold separately) when extending a wiring distance between the motor and driver. This is effective in
suppressing the electrical noise emitted from the motor.
•• Cover the driver by a metal plate such as aluminum. This is effective in shielding the electrical noise emitted from the driver.
zz Prevention of noise propagation

•• Connect a noise filter in the power supply cable of driver.
•• Place the power lines, such as the motor and power supply cables, keeping a distance of 200 mm (7.87 in.) or more from the
signal lines, and also do not bundle them or wire them in parallel. If the power cables and signal cables have to cross, cross them
at a right angle.
2 2
•• Use shielded twisted pair cables of AWG28 to AWG24 (0.08 mm to 2.0 mm ) for power lines and signal lines.
•• Keep cables as short as possible without coiling and bundling extra lengths.
•• When grounding PE terminals of multiple drivers to a grounding point, it
becomes more effective to block the electrical noise since impedance on Shielded cable
the grounding point is decreased. However, ground them so that a potential Cable clamp
difference does not occur among the grounding points. An accessory driver
cable including with a ground wire is available (sold separately). Refer to p.69 for
details.
•• To ground a shielded cable, use a metal cable clamp that will maintain contact with the entire circumference of the cable. Ground
the cable clamp near the product.
zz Suppression of effect by noise propagation

•• Loop the noise propagated cable around a ferrite core. Doing so will prevent the propagated noise invades into the driver or
emits from the driver. The frequency band in which an effect by the ferrite core can be seen is generally 1 MHz or more. Check the
frequency characteristics of the ferrite core used. To increase the effect of noise attenuation by the ferrite core, loop the cable a
lot.
•• Change the transmission method of the pulse signal to the line driver type in order to prevent noise effects. When the pulse
signal of the controller is the open collector type, use an accessory pulse signal converter for noise immunity (sold separately).

Connection
Noise suppression parts
zz Noise filter
•• Connect the following noise filter (or equivalent) to the power line. Doing so will prevent the propagated noise through the
power line. Install the noise filter as close to the driver as possible.

SOSHIN ELECTRIC CO.,LTD HF2010A-UPF HF3010C-SZA
Schaffner EMC FN2070-10-06 FN3025HP-10-71
2
•• Use the AWG18 (0.75 mm ) or thicker wire for the input and output cables of the noise filter, and secure firmly using a cable clamp
etc. so that the cable does not come off the enclosure.
•• Place the input cable as far apart as possible from the output cable, and do not wire the cables in parallel. If the input and output
cable are placed at a close distance or if they are wired in parallel, the noise in the enclosure affects the power cable through stray
capacitance, and the noise suppressing effect will reduce.
•• Connect the ground terminal of the noise filter to the grounding point, using as thick and short a wire as possible.
•• When connecting a noise filter in an enclosure, wire the input cable of the noise filter as short as possible. Wiring in long distance
may reduce the noise suppressing effect.

for details.
The factory setting of the C-ON input is normally open. Be sure to turn the C-ON input ON when operating the
motor. Set the C-ON input to normally closed when the C-ON input is not used.
CW/PLS input, CCW/DIR input

These input serve as the CW and CCW inputs in the 2-pulse input mode, or PLS and DIR inputs in the 1-pulse input mode. They are
common to all pulse input types including 5 VDC input, 24 VDC input and line driver input.
•• When no pulse is input, be sure to keep the photocoupler in the OFF state.
•• The CW and CCW indicate the rotation direction of the motor, as seen from the output shaft. The output shaft
of the TH geared typed motors with ratios of 20 and 30, as well as all ratios of the Harmonic geared type
motors, rotate in the opposite direction of the motor shaft.

ASG output, BSG output

The ASG output is used to output pulses according to motor operation. The motor position can be monitored by counting the ASG
output pulses. The number of output pulses per motor revolution varies depending on the resolution effective when turning the
power on.
The BSG output has a 90° phase difference with respect to the ASG output. The motor rotation direction can be determined by
detecting the BSG output level at the rise of the ASG output.
Regardless of the resolution, the accuracy of the pulse output is in a range of ±0.36°.

When a warning generates, the WNG output turns ON. The warning can be generated before a corresponding alarm generates. To
use the WNG output, the applicable parameter must be changed using the OPX-2A or MEXE02. (The initial value is to use the same
conditions applicable to alarms.) For details on warning, refer to p.64.
ALM output
When an alarm generates, the ALM output will turn OFF. At the same time, the ALARM LED of the driver will blink and the motor
current will be cut off and stop. *
In the case of an electromagnetic brake motor, the electromagnetic brake will switch to the holding mode.
Set the programmable controller so that it will stop motor operation commands upon detection of an OFF status of the ALM output.
The cause of the alarm can be checked by counting the number of times the ALARM LED blinks. For details, refer to p.60.

Motor excitation at power ON

When the power is turned on and the C-ON input switched ON, the motor will be excited at the current position. If the system
parameter for excite position at first current on [SyS-1-02] is set to "Electrical angle 0°," the motor will be excited at the position
corresponding to electrical angle 0° (where the TIM output turns ON).
If the C-ON input is set to normally closed, however, the motor will be excited automatically at the electrical angle 0° position after
the power has been turned on.
The C-ON input logic can be set using the application parameter for C-ON input logic [APP-2-02].
•• If the parameter for excite position at first current on [SyS-1-02] is set to "Electrical angle 0°", the motor output
shaft may move by a maximum of 3.6° when the C-ON input is turned ON.
Automatic return operation

This is a return operation when the motor is in a state of current ON.
If the system parameter for auto return [SyS-1-03] is set to "Enable," the motor can automatically return, when the C-ON input is
turned ON or FREE input is turned OFF, to the position where it was stopped.
Setting the motor rotation direction

Set a desired motor rotation direction using the system parameter for rotation direction [SyS-1-04].
•• The CW and CCW indicate the rotation direction of the motor, as seen from the output shaft. The output shaft

13-2 Operation
Push-motion operation
Push-motion operation is a type of operation where pulses are input to pressurize the load continuously.
When selecting a push-motion operation with the application parameter for I/O input mode [APP-2-00], turning the T-MODE input
ON and inputting pulses, push-motion operation will start.
Pulses will be continuously input and accumulate even when the load is balanced with the torque.
Do not perform push-motion operation with geared type motors. Doing so may cause damage to the motor or
gear part.
If push-motion operation is performed for a long time while a large push-motion current is set, the driver may
increase the temperature rise and generate the overheat protection alarm.
zz Setting the current for push-motion operation

Set a desired current for push-motion operation using any of the application parameters for push-motion current 0 to 7 (any one of
[APP-2-05] to [APP-2-12]). The current value set in the parameter will be used to limit the output torque.
You can select a desired current setting by a combination of ON/OFF statuses of M0 to M2 inputs.

1. Set the application parameter for I/O input mode [APP-2-00] to “Push-motion operation.”
2. Select a current value using the M0 to M2 inputs.
3. Turn the T-MODE input ON.
4. Input CW or CCW pulses.
The load is pressurized continuously while the T-MODE input is ON.
The output torque is limited at the current value selected for the parameter in step 2.
If the output torque reaches the current value selected for the parameter in step 2, the TLC output will turn ON.
Refer to p.74 and p.75 for the timing charts.
5. Stop the pulse input.
6. Turn the T-MODE input OFF.
If the load is removed during push-motion operation, the motor will move at high speed the number accumulated
pulses.
•• During push-motion operation, the automatic current cutback function does not operate even when the pulse
input is stopped. In other words, the value of push current selected for the parameter is maintained.
•• Since pulses are input continuously during push-motion operation, a prolonged push condition may generate
an excessive position deviation alarm. If the push condition continues for a prolonged period, stop the pulse
input. Whether or not the motor is pushing the load can be determined using the TLC output.

Test operation
Test operation is performed using the data setter OPX-2A or the data setting software MEXE02.
Conduct test operation (JOG operation) to check the levels of vibration and noise or to check how operations are performed in a
push-motion operation and/or a return to electrical home operation.
Set the required conditions for JOG operation using the following parameters:
•• Operating speed of JOG operation [APP-7-00]
•• Acceleration and deceleration rate of JOG operation [APP-7-01]
•• Starting speed of JOG operation [APP-7-02]
JOG operation is performed only while each applicable operation button is pressed on the OPX-2A or clicked in
MEXE02. External signals cannot be used to start/stop the motor.
Return to electrical home operation

When the RETURN input is turned ON, the motor will start a return to electrical home operation.
The electrical home (position) refers to the motor position effective when the driver power is turned on, or the position when the
P-RESET input is turned ON.
Set the required conditions for return to electrical home operation using the following parameters:
•• Operating speed of return operation [APP-6-00]
•• Acceleration and deceleration rate of return operation [APP-6-01]
•• Starting speed of return operation [APP-6-02]
Refer to p.78 for the timing chart.
•• Pulses are not counted during return to electrical home operation.

•• If the CS input is turned ON when the application parameter for abnormal operation data warning [APP-5-00] is
set to “Enable,” a return to electrical home operation will be disabled and an abnormal operation data warning
will generate. If a return to electrical home operation is to be performed after the CS input is turned ON, turn
the P-RESET input ON to confirm the electrical home position and then turn the RETURN input ON.
•• Turning the P-RESET input ON while a return to electrical home operation is still in progress will set the
applicable position as the electrical home, and the motor will stop.
13-3 Adjustment
You can adjust the operating current, motor operation at start/stop, and compliance with the command.
The items that can be adjusted vary between the normal mode and the current control mode.

Control mode
The driver operates in one of two control modes: the normal mode, and the current control mode. The desired mode can be set
using the control mode select switch (NORM/CCM).
If noise is heard during high-speed operation or there is notable vibration, it may be effective to
switch to the current control mode.
Note, however, that a slight delay may occur in the current control mode, compared to the normal
mode, depending on the condition of the load. NORM CCM
Keep the driver in the normal mode during normal conditions of use.
NORM: Normal mode
CCM: Current control mode
•• The new setting of the control mode select switch will become effective after the power is cycled. If a 24 VDC
•• In the normal mode, the CCM input becomes effective.
Operating current
Set a desired operating current using the current setting switch (CURRENT).
The operating current to be set is the maximum output current multiplied by
the operating current rate (%) set to each dial setting of the current setting
switch, where "F" corresponds to 100%. CURRENT
One of 16 operating current levels from 0 to F can be set. If the load is small
and there is an ample allowance for torque, you can suppress rise in motor
temperature by setting a lower operating current.
If the operating current is too low, starting of the motor and its position hold function may be affected. Do not
lower the operating current more than necessary.
You can change the value assigned to each dial setting of the current setting switch, by using a corresponding application parameter
for operating current at CURRENT (one of [APP-0-00] to [APP-0-15]).
Standstill current
When the motor stops, the current cutback function will be actuated to lower the motor current to the standstill current.
The standstill current is a value that the operating current which was set with the current setting switch is multiplied by a value of
the standstill current. Set a desired standstill current using the application parameter for standstill current [APP-3-00].
The initial value is 50%.
Speed filter
You can use the speed filter setting switch (V-FIL) to adjust how the motor responds to
input pulses.
One of 16 speed filter levels from 0 to F can be set.
When the speed filter level is raised, vibration can be suppressed during low-speed V-FIL
operation, and starting/stopping of the motor will become smooth.
Note, however, that an excessively high filter level will result in lower synchronicity with
commands. Set an appropriate value according to the specific load and purpose.
You can change the value assigned to each dial setting of the speed filter setting switch,
by using a corresponding application parameter for speed filter at V-FIL (one of [APP-1-00]
to [APP-1-15]).
Smooth drive
When the smooth drive function is used, the driver automatically implements microstep control over input pulses. This helps
suppress motor vibration.
If the smooth drive function is not used, vibration may increase in the low-speed range although starting characteristics will improve.
Set whether or not to use the smooth drive using the system parameter for smooth drive [SyS-1-01].
▌56
Extended functions
Speed error gain

The speed error gain is used to suppress vibration while the motor is operating or accelerating/ decelerating.
Set the required conditions using the following application parameters:
•• Speed error gain 1 [APP-3-01]............................ Adjusts vibration during operation.
•• Speed error gain 2 [APP-3-02]............................ Adjusts vibration during acceleration/deceleration.
The initial values reflect results of adjustment. Do not change the initial values in normal conditions of use.
Position loop gain, speed loop gain, speed loop integral time constant
These items are effective in the current control mode.
Vibration that occurs while the motor is accelerating/decelerating or at standstill can be adjusted to an optimal value. (The optimal
value varies depending on the equipment and operating conditions.)
•• Position loop gain [APP-4-00] ��Adjusts the compliance with respect to position deviation. When this value is
increased, the deviation between the command position and actual position
will decrease. However, an excessively high value may increase the motor
overshoot or cause hunting.
•• Speed loop gain [APP-4-01] ��Adjusts the compliance with respect to speed deviation. When this value
is increased, the deviation between the command speed and actual speed
will decrease. However, an excessively high value may increase the motor
overshoot or cause hunting.
•• Speed loop integral time constant [APP-4-02] ��Decreases the deviation that cannot be adjusted with the speed loop gain.
An excessively high value will slow the motor movement. An excessively low
value, on the other hand, may cause hunting.
Anti-vibration control
This item is effective in the current control mode.
Even when the motor is assembled into a machine of low rigidity, residual vibration can be suppressed during positioning, in order
to shorten the positioning time. (The optimal value varies depending on the equipment and operating conditions.)
•• Anti-vibration control [APP-4-03].........................................................Sets whether or not to enable anti-vibration control.
•• Frequency of anti-vibration control [APP-4-04]..............................Set the frequency of anti-vibration control.
57▐
Inspection
14 Inspection
It is recommended that periodic inspections be conducted for the items listed below after each operation of the motor.
If an abnormal condition is noted, discontinue any use and contact your nearest Oriental Motor sales office.
During inspection
•• Are any of the motor mounting screws loose?
•• Check for any unusual noises in the motor bearings (ball bearings) or other moving parts.
•• Are the motor output shaft and load shaft out of alignment?
•• Are there any scratches, signs of stress or loose driver connections in the motor lead wires?
•• Check for a blocked opening of the driver case.
•• Are any of the driver mounting screws or power connection terminal screws loose?
•• Are there any strange smells or appearances within the driver?
The driver uses semiconductor elements. Handle the driver with care since static electricity may damage
semiconductor elements.

Alarms and warnings
16 Alarms and warnings

The driver provides alarms that are designed to protect the driver from overheating, poor connection, error in operation, etc.
(protective functions), as well as warnings that are output before the corresponding alarms generate (warning functions).
16-1 Alarms
When an alarm generates, the ALM output will turn OFF and the motor will stop. (The motor will continue to operate after
generating the abnormal operation data alarm, because abnormal operation data alarm does not cut off the motor current.)
When the application parameter for AL0-2 signal output [APP-2-01] is set to "Enable", the READY output, TLC output and TIM2 output
will automatically switch to the AL0 output, AL1 output and AL2 output, respectively.
When an alarm generates, the ALARM LED will blink. The present alarm can be checked by counting the number of times the ALARM
LED blinks, or using the OPX-2A or MEXE02.
Example: Overvoltage alarm (number of blinks: 3)

Approx. 0.2 s Approx. 0.2 s

Overload warning
Normal mode: A position deviation of 1.8° or more has occurred.
Current control mode: The operating current has reached the limit.
Overspeed warning Set the condition under which a motor overspeed warning generates.
•• When the current was turned on, the deviation between the command position and
Overflow rotation during actual position exceeded the value set in the parameter for overflow warning rotation
current on during current on [APP-5-04].
When the current was turned off, the deviation between the command position and
Overflow rotation during actual position exceeded the value set in the parameter for overflow rotation during
current off current off [APP-5-02]. (This warning is output when the parameter for auto return [SyS-
1-03] is set to “Enable.”)
The internal temperature of the driver exceeded the value set in the overheat warning
Overheat
parameter [APP-5-07].
•• The voltage of the main power supply exceeded the value set in the overvoltage
warning parameter [APP-5-05].
Overvoltage
•• A large inertial load was stopped abruptly, or up/down operation was performed
without connecting a regeneration unit.
Descriptions of Main power supply error The C-ON input was turned ON when the main power was cut off.
warnings
•• The DC voltage of the main power supply became lower than the value set in the
Undervoltage undervoltage warning parameter [APP-5-06].
•• The main power was cut off momentarily or the voltage became low.
•• A load exceeding the peak torque was applied for the time set in the overload
Overload warning parameter [APP-5-08] or longer.
The detected motor speed exceeded the value set in the overspeed warning parameter
Overspeed
[APP-5-09].
•• The CS input was changed when the current was on.
Operation data error •• The traveled distance from the electrical home exceeded the control range
(2,147,483,648 pulses). (This alarm generates when the application parameter for
abnormal operation data warning [APP-5-00] is set to “Enable.”)
